His condition progressively got worse over time - but there is hope
Hollywood legend Bruce Willis is currently in a 'very stable place at the moment', according to his ex-wife, Demi Moore . The Die Hard star, 69, has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia , a condition that has progressively worsened over time, affecting his ability to communicate.
She added: "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."Despite acknowledging the difficulty of the situation, Ms Moore also highlighted the unexpected beauty and gifts that can emerge from it.
Last year, his daughter Rumer revealed that Mr Willis had received a "more specific" diagnosis of FTD. Since his split from Ms Moore, who later married and divorced Ashton Kutcher, his family has grown. Reflecting on maintaining a family unit post-separation, Ms Moore, 62, said: "That has been very important to me, even from when Bruce and I separated and divorced, is the recognition that we're a family and we'll always be a family, just in a different form.
