The legendary actor Bruce Willis’ family recently wished the actor a happy 68th birthday in separate Instagram posts Sunday. His ex-wife Demi Moore posted a video of Willis celebrating with Moore, his current wife Emma Heming Willis, his daughters and other family members.
The video shows the family singing “Happy Birthday” to Willis followed by him blowing out candles on a pie.
Moore captioned the video: “Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family. Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes — we all feel them.”
Willis has three grown daughters with Moore (Rumer, Scout and Tallulah) and two with his current wife Emma (Mabel and Evelyn). Scout also posted the same video, with the caption: “Today has been PROFOUNDLY JOYFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!! HAPPY BW’S BIRTHDAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE !!!!”
Separately, she posted a photo of her as a young girl sitting on her dad’s shoulders, appearing to be sleeping. Calling Bruce “one of my best friends, the Pisces king, the master of duality, both action hero icon and gentle girl dad,” she said it’s been “a privilege” to have him as her father.
However, she admitted that the entire day wasn’t completely celebratory.
“Today is not necessarily an easy day, because it’s a day full of so deep love, and our grief really does show us the depth of our loving for someone,” she wrote. “So I’m trying to be with both today. Grief is a price I’ll always pay to know what it is to feel such love. I’m sending my love to anyone who has ever felt their capacity stretched by the enormity of love and the humanness of grief. I love you.”
Bruce Willis was recently spotted for the first time since his family revealed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last month. The retired actor stepped out in Santa Monica on Thursday. FTD symptoms often arise in younger patients between the ages of 40 and 65, according to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Radar Online reported that Willis’ family is has gotten support of the loved ones and it includes Bruce Willis’ tough guy ex-costars.
“Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course, and Jason Statham and so many others are right there at the front of the line offering to do anything they can, 24/7,” dished the insider.
“It’s a huge comfort for Bruce and his loved ones that he’d got so much goodwill and love to count on,” the source shared, adding, “the guy is a hero among his Hollywood peers, even if this situation is unbearably tough for all concerned.”
