Since it turned out that Bruce Willis he struggles with frontotemporal dementia, his family stands by him like a person, they take care of him day and night. The disease involves continuous degradation, both mentally and physically, her daughter, Rumer Willis and in the photo published by The recording, despite being part of a very touching photo series, is also saddening, as the consequences of his illness can already be clearly identified on the world-famous actor: his wrinkles have deepened and his eyes have become tired.
Among the first symptoms of his illness were communication difficulties, which became apparent years ago, and which led to rumors spreading in Hollywood that Bruce was sloppy and unable to learn his lyrics. However, it turned out that the star still tried to take on as many roles as possible before his illness completely took over him, but he had difficulty finding the words during the filming. Frontotemporal dementia produces the symptoms of aphasia – this was the film star’s first diagnosis, but it soon became clear that there was more to it than that. His family has been by his side ever since, even his ex-wife, Demi Moore, is a daily guest to see Willis’ current wife, Emma Heming Willist help with grooming.
As the movie star’s condition worsens, his brain cells continue to die, which is why, in addition to speech problems, movement and eating problems will also occur, as well as changes in behavior. Although Willis announced in 2022 that he would be retiring from filming completely due to his illness, it is not known how long it has been since his diagnosis. Unfortunately, his condition will continue to deteriorate as time progresses, and based on the experience of doctors, patients are only given a few years.
What is certain is that Bruce Willis turned 69 the other day, and along with that he and Emma also celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. “What I do know is that there is so much to celebrate. Our union and connection is probably stronger than ever. We have two smart, funny and healthy daughters. We have a family unit built on mutual respect and admiration. And I simply love and adore the man I married,” Emma wrote in her Instagram post at the time. She added that she tries not to wallow in grief, despite the fact that her husband can no longer use most of his intellectual abilities: he can’t read, he can’t speak, and according to his friends, it is no longer clear whether he knows who is around him.
