Actor Bruce Willis, 69, was recently seen in Los Angeles as he continues to battle aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. The Pulp Fiction star was spotted on Sunday, September 17, 2023, taking a ride with his bodyguard, wearing a New York Yankees ballcap and a white T-shirt. The outing comes amidst the actor’s ongoing health struggles, which his family first made public in March 2022.
Willis’ ex-wife Demi Moore recently updated fans on his condition during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, stating that “given the givens, he is in a stable place.” Moore emphasized the importance of meeting people where they are and treasuring the time they share, especially as the family navigates Willis’ health challenges. She revealed that she visits him weekly when she is in Los Angeles.
Willis’ daughter Rumer has also shared updates on her father’s condition, expressing her love and gratitude for him in a recent Instagram post. The actor’s bond with his family, including his five daughters, remains strong, and he has reportedly been spending meaningful time with his grandchildren.
Willis, who retired from acting following his diagnosis, is being supported by his wife Emma Heming Willis, their daughters Mabel Ray and Evelyn, and his three daughters with Moore—Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. The actor’s diagnosis with aphasia was first revealed in March 2022, and in February 2023, the family confirmed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a progressive condition for which there is currently no cure.
In their statement, the Willis family expressed hope that public attention on the actor’s condition would help raise awareness and increase research efforts into the disease. The family continues to stay united in their support of the Hollywood icon, encouraging others facing similar battles to remain hopeful and connected.
We’re sure all of our readers will join us in praying for Willis and his family.
