Emma Heming Willis, the actor’s wife, gave more details of her husband’s situation and how it has been dealing with the diagnosis of frontTemporal dementia
Emma Heming Willis gave more details recently of her husband’s situation, the actor Bruce Willisthat since 2022 lives with frontotemporal dementia (DFT).
In the last update, she surprised to relate the actor’s illness to one of her films, whose recording may have collaborated to disturb her diagnosis, according to her wife.
In an interview with Digital Fox News (via The globe), Emma suggested that during the filming of Wolf -killer (1988) Willis had triggered one of the first symptoms of the disease: hearing loss.
According to her, Bruce did not use adequate protection to record some scenes. This caused severe hearing loss, which later culminated in the late diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
“It took much of his hearing. And over time we all started to notice that he wasn’t listening well. At first, I thought it was just that, that he was getting older.”
Another mention of the movie
Tallulah Willisdaughter of Bruce Willis with Demi Moorehis first wife, has also quoted the recordings of the classic action film as one of the possible causes for his father’s illness to be delayed.
She reported to Vogue in 2023:
“It all started with a kind of vague indifference, which the family attributed to the typical Hollywood hearing loss: ‘Talk louder! Hard to kill daddy’s ears!’
Bruce Willis lives in another house
In the same interview with Fox News Digital, Emma Heming Willis confirmed that in recent weeks Bruce Willis is living in another house, separated from her family, given the advanced state of dementia. She commented:
“It’s one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but I knew Bruce would want it to our daughters above all.”
