It crushes my heart to see Bruce Willis these days.
Two years ago, the former celebrity received a diagnosis of aphasia. The Die Hard icon is currently battling frontotemporal dementia.
Now, despite his health issues, Bruce apparently sent Demi Moore a poignant message reminding her of what’s really important.
For Bruce Willis and his loved ones, the past two years have been difficult. According to sources, his family is making every effort to spend as much time as possible with the former movie star, knowing that any day could be his “last.”
Life expectancy of between 6 to 8 years
Willis was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, but the Die Hard star’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia was revealed to the public in 2023.
Unfortunately, because Bruce’s disease is degenerative, his health problems only seem to be getting worse with time. According to statistics, people with fronotemporal dementia often live six to eight years. However, it might occasionally be as short as two years.
According to a close friend of the actor, Bruce Willis is no longer “totally verbal,” and Emma Heming Willis, his wife, is now providing full-time care for him.
Bruce Willis’ plea to Demi Moore
Bruce still occasionally has epiphanies, which are frequently brought on by music, according to family sources. He has told Demi his greatest aspirations throughout those times.
Radar Online was informed by one insider:
”He’s told Demi not to give up on love. Bruce wants to leave this world with his loved ones in a good place.”
Demi, who is now 61, has supported Bruce through his health issues without faltering. Her career has also lately taken off after she received plaudits for her performance in the horror film The Substance. Some even think she might receive her first Academy Award nomination for the film.
According to friends, Demi has been inspired to take advantage of every chance since Bruce’s illness served as a wake-up call.
Concerned about Demi Moore
“She’s focused on making the most of Hollywood’s renewed interest in her. Bruce’s situation has been a stark reminder of how fragile life can be,” the insider shared.
However, given that Demi has been working nonstop and traveling a lot, the family is apparently a little worried about her. This is perhaps the background of Bruce Willis’s sincere appeal to remember what matters most.
”He knows Demi well enough to recognize that while her career is thriving, she’s also incredibly lonely,” the insider revealed.
When Demi Moore accepted the Career Achievement in Acting Award at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival on October 13, she paused to consider Bruce Willis’s path.
“The illness is what it is,” she said candidly. “And I believe that you must have a profound understanding of what that is.”
”But for where he’s at, he is stable.”
”Never tried to sugarcoat anything”
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were one of Hollywood’s “it” couples. Between 1987 and 1987, they got married and had three daughters together. Despite their 1998 separation and 2000 divorce finalization, they maintained a close relationship as co-parents.
Bruce married actress and model Emma Heming in 2009, and the two of them had two additional daughters. The enduring bond between Bruce, Demi, and Emma throughout the years has demonstrated the strength of blended families remaining united, particularly when faced with obstacles in life.
Emma has been candid about their journey, explaining, ”I’ve never tried to sugarcoat anything for them. They’ve grown up with Bruce declining over the years. I’m not trying to shield them from it.”
Beyond his on-screen personas, Bruce has left a lasting legacy. It’s the strength he’s given to those closest to him and the love he’s offered. His message to Demi serves as a heartfelt reminder to cherish life, love, and our relationships.
