United, holding hands and with that smile that shows his most unconditional love even in the worst circumstances: Bruce Willis has all the support of his family after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia last March. A neurological and degenerative disorder, which is making the unforgettable protagonist of Die Hard worsen at a faster rate than expected, but which has not made any of his daughters, his wife or those close to him do less to give him affection and love. .
The last to show how the actor is doing has been his daughter, Scout LaRue, the middle of the daughters he had in common with Demi Moore. The young composer took advantage of Thanksgiving to share some tender images that show the current state of health of her father; at the same time that she took advantage of the holiday to give thanks for him.
"My boy," writes the young woman, 32, in a video she shared through her Instagram account last weekend, taking advantage of the fact that the family was together for the holidays.
In the video, Scout takes her father's hand, who briefly glances at the gesture before intertwining it with his own.
In the images you can see the state of health of the actor, and how the disease continues to evolve. Frontotemporal dementia primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, normally associated with language, behavior and personality.
The latest updates obtained about his health status from his family and friends already suggested that the protagonist of The Sixth Sense barely 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.
The actor's wife, Emma Heming, has always been very sincere about her husband's health, stating that it is "very hard" for both the person who is diagnosed and the family. "This doesn't change for Bruce, for me or for our girls. When they say it's a family disease, it really is," he explains, referring to the actor's daughters: Rumer (35), Scout (32), Tallulah (29 ), Mabel (10) and Evelyn (8).
