Bruce Willis was 68 years old on Sunday, and his ex, Demi Moore, shared on social networks an emotional video in which the whole family sings the actor happy birthday. It is the first time that the protagonist of The Crystal Jungle has been seen in his current state, weeks after his daughters and his wife revealed that the aphasia he suffered from has worsened and the new diagnosis is frontotemporal dementia.
In the video shared on the networks by the actress, you can see Willis in a relaxed attitude, joking, singing and blowing out the candles on the cake surrounded by all his loved ones. “Happy birthday, BW! I am very happy to be able to celebrate you today. I love you and I love our family,” wrote Demi Moore.
The obvious physical deterioration of the performer is particularly striking. Her health is deteriorating by leaps and bounds in a process that is being much faster and harsher than the family first thought, as symptoms of frontotemporal dementia include personality changes, obsessive behavior and difficulty speaking .
Also on the occasion of Bruce Willis’ birthday, his current wife, Emma Heming, with whom he has two little girls – Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8 -, expressed how he feels: “Today it’s my husband’s birthday and i started the day crying. Everyone says I’m very strong, but I have no other choice. I’m also raising two little girls and I have to keep going, but I have moments of sadness, and that’s just what I’m feeling today.” At the same time, he showed his infinite gratitude to the fans for their unconditional support. “The positive side is being able to feel all your love. My wish this birthday is that you continue to keep Bruce in your prayers. Thank you so much for loving it so well; feeling connected to you helps me”.
His older daughters, born from his marriage to Demi Moore, also dedicated some beautiful words to him. “For many years to one of my best friends, King Pisces, the iconic action hero. What a privilege to have this man as a father and to learn so much about life, mischief and art with him. Today is not an easy day, but our pain shows us how deep love can be. Grief is a price I will always pay for loving you”, wrote Scout, 31 years old, with a beautiful image in which her father takes her to the hut while she, as a child, sleeps. Also added to the congratulations were Rumer, 34, who in a few months will be a mother for the first time, and Tallulah, 29.
The actor has been retired from the world of acting for a year.
