Bruce Willis’ mother isn’t sure if he RECOGNIZES her

Bruce Willis’ mother, Marlene Willis, apparently has doubts that he still recognizes her, due to his frontotemporal dementia.

On February 16, the actor’s wife, Emma Heming, announced that she had been diagnosed with the disorder, which primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.

Bruce Willis’ mother would have mentioned how it is

This Tuesday, actor Wilfried Gliem revealed to German newspaper Bild that Marlene shared that she is worried about her son’s health.

“Marlene keeps us in the loop, we call once a month,” the veteran artist said, as reported by ¡Hola!

Gliem, whose wife, Elke, is related to Willis’ mother, would not have been surprised by the latest diagnosis, as the family probably understood.

“Marlene told us a year ago that Bruce had dementia,” he confessed.

He also confirmed that allegedly for the mother of the star of films like “Armageddon” it is difficult to digest that she has this disease.

“She says she’s not sure if her son recognizes her yet,” Wilfried said.

Although Bruce’s relatives have not released details about how he is doing now, Gliem shared what her friend confided in her about it.

“Marlene says his behavior is very slow and a bit aggressive. A normal conversation with him is no longer possible. But this is common given its clinical presentation,” he said.

The Mayo Clinic explains that some people with this type of dementia “have dramatic changes in their personality and become socially inappropriate, impulsive, or emotionally detached, while others lose the ability to use language properly.”

Bruce Willis’ family helps him to have a “full” life

For its part, People reported that Bruce Willis’ family is taking steps to help him live a “full” life despite his frontotemporal dementia.

Both the actor’s wife and his famous ex, Demi Moore, and their five daughters, Mabel, Evelyn, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, are together in the effort to support him.

As told to the outlet by “a family source,” Willis’ loved ones are “closer than ever” as they try to get him to be the best he can be.

“The goal for Bruce is to keep him active. He has a very tight schedule, with activities every day,” the informant explained.

“They make sure that both your body and your brain are getting a workout,” he added.

This person also advocated in the medium that Heming tries to give Mabel and Evelyn, ages 10 and 8, as many positive memories of their dad as possible.

“She wants Bruce to be remembered as an amazing and fun dad. He wants them to have the best memories of him,” the source said.
