Astro was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in early 2022
Rumer Glenn and Scout LaRue, daughters of Bruce Willis AND Demi Moore, shared photos with their father on Instagram to celebrate Father’s Day in the United States. Records show the actor, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in early 2022, along with his granddaughter and heirs as well.
“Watching my dad hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life. His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful. Dad, I’m so lucky to have you and Lou too,” Rumer said.
“I feel so blessed to know the tenderness my father shares. My deep admiration, respect and reverence he has for his family,” Scout LaRue wrote in an excerpt.
Demi Moore, the star’s ex-wife, also shared a photo of herself with their young daughters and said she was “very grateful” for the family she’s built alongside her. Demi and Bruce have been married for almost 15 years. He is currently married to model Emma Heming.
What is frontotemporal dementia?
Unlike other types, the frontotemporal dementia significantly affects a person’s behavior and personality, but maintains relatively preserved cognitive functioning. There is also a correlation with the hereditary issue. That is, children of people who had frontotemporal dementia are more likely to be diagnosed with the disease.
Usually, 50% of diagnoses, in terms of prevalence, are related to Alzheimer’s disease, which has amazing and important features. However, in the case of frontotemporal dementia, the evolution of the clinical picture is also more rapid than in the case of patients with Alzheimer’s.
