Bruce Willis’s Battle with Frontotemporal Dementia: A Closer Look at the Star’s Decline

John McClane there is no more. The invincible hero of Die Hard he was defeated by senile dementia. Demi Moore there’s no reason for it. Emma Heming, his current wife, is devastated. The dismayed daughters. Bruce Willis it’s like closing in on itself. His health conditions are getting worse every day. He no longer recognizes his ex-wife Demi Moore, but not even the mother. And he became more aggressive. The Hollywood star, affected by senile fronto-temporal dementia, diagnosed in early 2023, would no longer be able to recognize almost anyone. This is what a source revealed to Closer.

Bruce Willis is getting worse, the disease makes communication with his family increasingly difficult October 13, 2023

Demi Moore, always close to her ex-husband in his fight against the disease, she visited him after a trip to Italy. But, when her two exes met, he didn’t recognize in her the woman with whom he had been married for thirteen years, mother of their three daughters, Rumer, Scout e Tallulah. “Demi has always kept in touch with Bruce’s current wife, Emma Heming. But she didn’t know that her ex-husband had deteriorated so much,” the source told the newspaper. While her daughter Tallulah, 29, opened up about her father during Wednesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. When Barrymore asked the star’s youngest daughter why her family wanted to share her father’s illness diagnosis with the outside world she replied: “On the one hand, it’s who we are as a family, but it’s also very important for us to spread awareness about FTD…”. Furthermore, the young actress said: “A big part of how I spend my time with him now is playing music, just sitting in this loving energy. It’s really special.”

The fronto-temporal dementia it is a disease that causes progressive cognitive deterioration, but also personality changes and mood swings. The memory that Bruce Willis has of Demi Moore “It’s faded,” the source pointed out. “Demi understood that he didn’t recognize her.” In reality, the worsening of the actor’s conditions is not surprising. In September Emma Hemingin a speech at Today Show, explained that it is difficult to know whether or not her husband is aware of his condition: “Dementia is a difficult disease. It is difficult for the person who is diagnosed but also for the whole family. When they say this is a family disease, it really is.” Only a month ago the actor’s friend, Glenn Gordon Caronhe told the New York Post that the conditions of Bruce Willis they are getting worse: “He is losing the ability to speak and the joy of living – adding – when you are with him you know it is Bruce and you are grateful that he is there”.

Star of action comedies, Willis made his debut in the early 1980s in the TV series alongside Cybill Shepherd and was immediately loved by the public. However, the role that made him a star was John McClane in the film Crystal trap (1988), the first chapter of the film series Die hard which lasted 25 years and produced five films. After participating in Pulp fiction directed by Quentin Tarantino, where he was the boxer Butch Coolidge engaged to Maria de Medeiros and protagonist of the famous clock sequence, Willis became famous for other roles that have remained etched in the collective memory. Tarantino himself declared that he would like to entrust his friend with a small role in his latest film.

Between the mid-nineties and early 2000s he starred in Death makes you beautiful(1992) in Robert Zemeckis, The last boy scout (1991), The Army of the 12 Monkeys (1995) where he plays the inmate James Cole, Still Alive – Last man standing (1996), The fifth element (1997) directed by Luc Besson, Armageddon – Final Judgment (1998), The sixth sense – The sixth sense (1999), the saga of FBI: Witness Protection (2000-2002), e Sin City (2005) by Robert Rodriguez. In the last few years before the stop and despite the pandemic, the actor made many films, often in small or very small roles. Willis has won two Emmys and a Golden Globe.
