Bruce Willis has been suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD) for months, a disease that involves the progressive degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Since the news broke, the actor has kept a low profile, putting aside public appearances and surrounding himself with his family.
In particular, he receives the support of his wife Emma Hemming Willis, who does not hesitate to dedicate some emotional words to him whenever she can, on social networks or in interviews in the media.
In an emotional interview on the Today show, the actor's wife spoke about the hardness of the disease: "Dementia is difficult, that's what I'm learning. It's hard for the patient and it's hard for the family, for Bruce and for our families." daughters, Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 8". She and she acknowledged through tears that "it's hard to know if Bruce is aware of what's happening to him."
In addition, the British businesswoman has shared her experience as Bruce's main caregiver. "I have to make a conscious effort every day to live the best life possible. I do it for myself, for our two daughters and for Bruce, who wouldn't want him to live any other way," she added.
After his wife's emotional words about the actor's illness, new images of Bruce Willis have appeared. In these photographs, the Sixth Sense actor can be seen occupying the passenger seat on a car trip. He is seen in a close-up showing a small smile. The highlight, the hat he wears on his head.
Bruce Willis and his family try to handle the disease with the utmost discretion. His public appearances are few. The images of the actor are minimal so as not to give clues about the progression of the disease and the family only publishes images on social networks when there is a designated celebration, such as a birthday or anniversary.
