Demi Moore has a small update aboutBruce Willis' current status. The actor first debuted in Hollywood in 1980 in an uncredited role inThe First Deadly Sin, but quickly became a well-known star after leadingtheDie Hard(1988) movies. From there, he began appearing in a variety of hit films, includingPulp Fiction(1994),The Sixth Sense(1999), andGlass(2019). Tragically, he was forced to retire in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia and dementia.
In an interview withCNN, Willis' ex-wife, Demi Moore, spoke about his health since his diagnosis and retirement. While she shared that he is stable, she described it as a “great loss” that also possesses “great beauty”. She continues to support Willis and offered genuine positivity in her statement. Check out her full quote below:
Given the givens, he’s ina very stable placeat the moment. And I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely. It’s so important for anybody who’s dealing with this to really meet them where they’re at, and from that place, there is such loving and joy. [Watching someone you love struggle with the condition is] very difficult and not what I would wish upon anyone. There is great loss, but there is also great beauty and gifts that can come from it.
What Demi Moore’s Comments Mean For Bruce Willis
The Actor Has Remained Relatively Stable
The connection between Moore and Willis is strong as the couple were married from 1987 to 2000. Willis eventually remarried, but Moore continued to maintain their friendship even after their separation. She has supported his second wife, Emma Heming Willis, since Willis' diagnosis and even serves as a caretaker. Her positivity has undoubtedly been an essential help for the rest of Willis' support system, as positivity remains critical in any caretaking role.
Willis' final movie wasAssassin(2023).
While it is painful to see Willis in such a vulnerable position, achieving some measure of stability is an excellent sign.Willis is 69 years old, so he could have many years ahead of him with his condition. Unfortunately,aphasia makes communication difficult, as the condition involves diminished language comprehension. That could be a challenge for his family. The fact that they remain at his side to support him is likely a relief for the actor, even if he remains generally confused. Moore’s positivity undoubtedly makes it easier to push through communication barriers to help support the former star.
