Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming shares heartbreaking video of him after his dementia diagnosis
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”
She said that despite the discomfort, they were nonetheless appreciative that Willis had been given the right diagnosis at last.
Actor Bruce Willis apparently struggled with his deteriorating cognitive abilities, so directors who had previously worked with him reportedly tried to make things as simple as possible for the actor.
The cast and crew of the last film the actor is scheduled to perform in, White Elephant, claim that they would “feed” him lines, and sometimes he would not even understand the words, only mimicking what he had been told.
A crew member later commented on the situation saying, “It was less of an annoyance and more like: ‘How do we not make Bruce look bad?’
“Someone would give him a line and he didn’t understand what it meant. He was just being puppeted.”
We are sending the Willis family our best wishes as they navigate this difficult time. Please join us in sending them your thoughts and prayers.
