Dementia was identified in Bruce Willis.
The actor took a break from his Hollywood career to give his health more attention.
Since Bruce’s diagnosis, Emma, his wife, has been his caregiver.
One of the most beloved action movie heroes in the world is Bruce Willis. However, he has recently withdrawn from the Hollywood scene due to serious speech and language problems brought on by dementia.
This past weekend, Emma posted a video of her, her husband, and their daughters riding Disneyland’s “Splash Mountain.” In the video, the whole family can be seen laughing and enjoying themselves.
Bruce laughs, wipes his face, and holds his daughter’s hand as they descend the ride in one frame. In a different photo, Emma is seated with her family behind her on the well-known Disneyland ride.
The news that Bruce appeared to be doing well thrilled fans. A fan expressed her delight at seeing Bruce in such good health, while another said she was happy to see her “heartthrob” succeeding. Someone else spoke to Bruce directly and said:
“Bruce, keep going; it makes me happy to see you happy.”
Some admirers thought it was lovely to see the family spending time together and “making memories.” A fan sent their love and well wishes to the family, wishing them the happiest possible vacation.
The couple both had jobs, but they soon found that they preferred to be with their kids and each other rather than being out of the house and working on different projects all the time.
Despite their love, the couple has experienced ups and downs. On the twelfth anniversary of their union, Emma joked:
I really do adore this guy to the moon and back, boy! Despite the fact that there have been moments when I’ve wanted to take him to the moon, leave him there, and return alone! Isn’t that what a twelve-year marriage looks like? We’ve experienced our fair share of depressing lows and floating on air highs. However, he is my type.
The former model claimed that she wouldn’t have done any of this with anyone else. She was appreciative of him for being her family and for enabling her to fulfill her lifelong dream of starting her own family.
Although Bruce and Emma have begun a family of their own, they still maintain a close relationship with Bruce’s former spouse and their children. Demi even attended Emma and Bruce’s vow renewal, to the extent that Emma expressed her inability to envision the event taking place without Demi.
The daughters of Emma and Bruce are developing into lovely young women, and Emma frequently flaunts them on Instagram. She posted a video of herself dancing outside with one of Bruce’s daughters.
How Does Bruce’s Family Help Him With Frontotemporal Dementia?
Bruce’s family revealed in March of last year that the actor has aphasia and would be taking an action to address the condition.
The actor’s family expressed gratitude to the public for their unwavering support after disclosing his diagnosis, acknowledging that it had been challenging for them to understand and accept it. They exchanged:
We wanted to include his fans because we understand how much they mean to you and how much you mean to him, and we are navigating this together as a strong family. “Live it up,” as Bruce always says, and that’s exactly what we intend to do together.
As soon as they saw the actor’s posts, fans started leaving supportive and well-wishes comments. Many expressed how much they would miss seeing him on screen and expressed their hope that he would recover quickly.
Emma updated Bruce’s fans on his health on Instagram once more this year. She revealed that since they received the diagnosis of aphasia, his condition had changed, and frontotemporal dementia had been identified.
Emma confirmed that the disease was the cause of his communication problems, but that he would also have other symptoms. The family expressed gratitude that he had a more precise diagnosis at last.
Since Bruce’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, his family has prioritized his quality of life, and Emma has begged photographers to show him respect during this difficult time.
The former model described how difficult it was to go out in public with someone who had dementia and that, should they feel overwhelmed, it could be frightening and confusing for them.
She continued by acknowledging that her husband was the target of paparazzi, but she kindly requested that they maintain a respectful distance from Bruce because it was upsetting for him.
Emma was open about her feelings of grief and sadness as she watched her husband struggle with his illness on Bruce’s birthday this year. She acknowledged that because she was not permitted to be anything else, she could only be so strong.
