Demi Moore provides insight into Bruce Willis' current health status.
Demi Moore talked about her former spouse Bruce Willis, who has been diagnosed with dementia, and mentioned that he's currently in a stable condition. The actress shared that she appreciates the time she gets to spend with him and the family.
During an episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show" on September 13, Demi Moore and the host reminisced about their time jointly working on "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" in 2003. Barrymore brought up Bruce Willis' brief cameo at the start of the film, which Moore had forgotten about.
"Considering the situation, things are stable"
"How is he now?", Barrymore inquired, before Moore, who was married to the actor from 1987 to 2000, clarified that he's "stable, considering the situation."
She went on to elaborate how her family has been coping with Bruce Willis since his diagnosis with aphasia and then frontotemporal dementia. "I encourage my children to interact with him based on who he is in the current moment. Don't cling to who they think he used to be or what they expect from him, but be there for who he is now. This leads to so much beauty, joy, love, and sweetness.", she said. When she's in Los Angeles, she visits every week, "I truly enjoy the time we spend together."
Back in March 2022, the Willis family shared that Bruce would be taking a break from his acting career following his aphasia diagnosis. Almost a year later, in February 2023, his current wife Emma Heming-Willis revealed that his condition had deteriorated, leading to a more specific diagnosis.
"Despite his diagnosis, the entertainment around the house with Bruce is still quite enjoyable for Demi."
"The current situation has led Demi to appreciate the unique and special 'entertainment' they get from being together as a family."
