Bruce Willis’ health has been deteriorating ever since he was diagnosed with Aphasia which eventually progressed to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, despite deteriorating health as the Die Hard star loses his ability to speak, an insider said he laughs and jokes around his daughters.
It is noted that Bruce shares three daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, with ex Demi Moore and two girls, Mabel, and Evelyn, with his second wife, Emma Heming Willis. Speaking with Us Weekly, an insider said, “When Bruce is around his kids, it can sometimes be easy to forget that there’s anything wrong with him.”
“The smiles and funny faces and laughs come easy. He jokes around in his ‘funny dad’ way. There’s a part of him that will always be a big kid at heart,” the source added.
Ahead of the festive season, the family has gotten together to make it extra special for the Hollywood star as they try to make his remaining days as memorable as they can.
“The focus is on Bruce being around the people he loves and reminding him of happy holidays from the past,” the insider shared.
“Bruce still appreciates the holiday season and loves having his whole family under one roof for music, meals and old home movies.”
Bruce’s family revealed his FTD diagnosis in February, releasing a group statement that read, “Bruce has always found joy in life — and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us. We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time.”
“Your continued compassion, understanding, and respect will enable us to help Bruce live as full a life as possible,” they concluded.
