The latest information about Bruce Willis is not very encouraging. Since being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia last February, his condition has worsened much more rapidly than he and his family would probably like.
The dementia of the protagonist of Die Hard is progressing at a speed that no one could suspect, but in recent weeks the "bad" days have been so frequent that even those close to him wonder if the actor is living his last moments.
"No one knows how much time he has left," a person close to him desolately told US Weekly magazine. Frontotemporal dementia is a brain disorder with an uncertain prognosis, but sufferers survive eight to ten years after receiving a diagnosis.
A complicated and dramatic moment that the actor and his family are experiencing, but which has united them more than ever. His wife, Emma Heming, his ex-wife, Demi Moore and his five daughters - Rumer (35), Scout (32), Tallulah (29), Mabel (10) and Evelyn (8) - are totally dedicated to caring for him. It is common to see them on Instagram, where from time to time they share the occasional image with their father.
Just a few days ago, his daughter Scout shared the last photographs that could be seen of the actor. The young composer took advantage of the Thanksgiving festivities to, precisely, give thanks for her father.
His wife, Emma Heming, is the one who spends the most time with him. The businesswoman has put her professional life aside to dedicate herself entirely to her husband, in addition to becoming a spokesperson for the disease on social networks, serving as a speaker for many other patients who do not have the same resources. "I suffer with guilt, knowing that I have resources that others don't," she admitted a few days ago.
The latest updates obtained about his health status from his family and friends already suggested that the protagonist of El Sexto Sentido hardly recognized his family, nor his daughters. This was stated by Glenn Gordon Caron, a great friend of the actor and creator of the series that made him famous, Moonlight.
"I think he knows who I am the first of the first three minutes he sees me. He's not fully verbal; he used to be an avid reader - he didn't want anyone to know - and now he doesn't read. All those language skills are no longer possible for him." him," Caron said a few months ago, adding that the illness would have completely destroyed that aspect of his friend.
