Since the actor was diagnosed with aphasia that forced him to retire from the world of acting and, later, frontotemporal dementia, a brain disorder that mainly affects the frontal and temporal lobe of the brain, thus being associated with personality, behavior and the language.

However, he did not want that to prevent him from dedicating some emotional words to his family, who gathered to celebrate the beloved actor's 68th birthday. Thus, surrounded by his wife, Emma Heming, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and her five daughters; the protagonist of already legendary films such as La Jungla de Cristal dared to sing 'Happy Birthday' and thank everyone, very animated.

A moment that Demi Moore immortalized for posterity and that she shared on her social networks, to the delight of the actor's followers and her entire family.

Emotional and with her face still blurred by tears, she acknowledges that dealing with the actor's illness and raising two young daughters (Mabel Ray is ten years old and Evelyn Penn is eight) at the same time is very complicated.

Of course, the entire family is closer than ever. The actor faces this new phase with his wife and his young daughters, but also with the help of his three older daughters and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, who has not stopped paying attention to the father of her children for a moment. daughters.

At the moment, everyone is focused on Bruce, who will soon have a new joy, as he will become a grandfather for the first time. Rumer, her eldest daughter, announced a few weeks ago that she was pregnant and expecting her first child with her partner, musician Derek Richard Thomas.
