Bruce Willis’ neurodegenerative illness is unfortunately advancing.
Last week, Hollywood author Glenn Gordon Caron sat down with the New York Post to debate his ‘80s dramedy Moonlighting — which in large part put the Die Hard actor on the map — and how it’s lastly accessible to stream on Hulu.
While talking about Bruce, who continues to battle frontotemporal dementia, the artistic defined:

Apparently, it’s taken “quite a while” to safe the collection’ place on the streaming service, however he’s been retaining the Pulp Fiction star within the loop all through all the course of. However, he revealed a saddening element about Bruce’s situation:
“Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now, about hoping to get the show back in front of people. I know it means a lot to him.”
“Incommunicative”? So, so unhappy.
Glenn defined that he tires to go to the fan favourite actor typically, and retains in contact together with his spouse Emma Heming and his three older daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, whom he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore. He defined:
“I have tried very hard to stay in his life. He’s an extraordinary person. The thing that makes [his disease] so mind-blowing is [that] if you’ve ever spent time with Bruce Willis, there is no one who had any more joie de vivre than he. He loved life and … just adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest. So the idea that he now sees life through a screen door, if you will, makes very little sense. He’s really an amazing guy.”
Ugh. How utterly heartbreaking. It’s clear how a lot he cares for the Unbreakable star. However, whereas Bruce could not have the ability to talk that nicely, Glenn does really feel that he nonetheless acknowledges him. He shared:
“My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am. He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”
He added:
“When you’re with him you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there, but the joie de vivre is gone.”
