Demi Moore sent a tribute to her ex-husband Bruce Willis for his 70th birthday as he continues to battle with Frontotemporal dementia, which can cause communication issues
Demi Moore shared a heartfelt tribute and pictures of ex-husband Bruce Willis on his 70th birthday.
The Die Hard actor – who suffers from Frontotemporal dementia, which causes behavioural changes and communication difficulties – celebrated the milestone age on Wednesday March 19). And his former spouse marked the occasion with a series of photos of Bruce, their daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and 31-year-old Tallulah, and their eldest child’s little girl Louetta, 23 months.
Demi – who divorced Bruce in 2000 after 13 years of marriage – captioned her Instagram post: “Happy birthday, BW! We love you [heart emoji] (sic)”.
Meanwhile, the Pulp Fiction star’s wife Emma Heming Willis urged the actor’s fans to wish him a happy birthday. She wrote on her own account: “It’s Bruce’s birthday, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that there’s no greater fan than a Bruce fan.
“So flood him with all the love today—he will feel it, I swear he will.
“You are one powerful bunch. I love how you rally for him, and I’m so grateful that he has you.” Rumer hailed her dad “the king” in her birthday tribute.
She wrote alongside a funny video of her parents dancing: “To the King…I love you Daddio
“Happy 70th Birthday papa (sic)”
And Tallulah celebrate her father as her “favourite friend”.
Scout Willis took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to her dad, Bruce Willis, on his 70th birthday, calling him an undimmable light and expressing her pride in being his daughter. She gushed: “happy 70th to my favorite friend! you are a light that can never be dimmed! I love you so proud to be your baby Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis [fish emojis] (sic)”.
The 69-year-old Die Hard star stepped back from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia and was later diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023.
His wife Emma Heming revealed that doctors overlooked the earliest sign of Bruce’s dementia. In an interview with Town and Country, she explained that Bruce had a severe stutter as a child. When it returned in recent years, doctors dismissed it as part of his stutter.
“He had a severe stutter as a child. He went to college, and there was a theater teacher who said, ‘I’ve got something that’s going to help you.’ Bruce has always had a stutter, but he has been good at covering it up. So, when he began to experience difficulties with language, it seemed like it was just a part of his stutter,” Emma told the publication.
“Never in a million years would I think it would be a form of dementia for someone so young,” she said.
