According to New York Post, Bruce Willis, the iconic “Die Hard” star, spent Thanksgiving with his family, as captured in heartwarming videos and images shared by his daughter, Scout Willis. The clips, posted on Instagram, depict a frail-looking Bruce Willis holding hands with Scout during the Thanksgiving feast. The emotional video is followed by a sweet image of Scout resting her head in her father’s palm.
Bruce Willis shares a close bond with his daughters, and Thanksgiving provided an opportunity for family togetherness. Scout Willis, 32, is the second oldest of Bruce’s five daughters. He shares Scout, Rumer (35), and Tallulah (29) with ex-wife Demi Moore. With his current wife, Emma Heming Willis, Bruce has two more daughters, Mabel (11) and Evelyn (9).
The heartwarming Thanksgiving moments come after Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of “Moonlighting,” revealed that Bruce Willis is “not totally verbal” following his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia earlier this year. Despite the challenges posed by the disease, Bruce’s family has been supportive and has shared their love and admiration for him on social media.

The actor’s daughters have been open about their father’s diagnosis, shedding light on the rare and aggressive nature of frontotemporal dementia. Despite the difficult circumstances, the family has expressed pride and love for Bruce, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about the disease.
Emma Heming Willis, Bruce’s wife, has also written about the emotional journey of being a care partner in the face of dementia. Her writings reflect the challenges and emotions involved in caring for a loved one with frontotemporal dementia while recognizing the privilege of having resources to navigate this difficult journey. The family’s openness about Bruce Willis’s diagnosis aims to contribute to the broader conversation about dementia and its impact on individuals and their families.
