Bruce Willis He was diagnosed last year with a serious illness that progressively deteriorated his health. Now, the famous American actor has lost his speech due to the progression of frontotemporal dementia – a neurodegenerative disease – that he has and depends exclusively on his wife, Emma Heimingwho periodically posts videos on social media to promote an awareness campaign about this disease.
In his latest post, Heiming shared the message that the actor himself would have liked to give and raised questions about whether or not he can actually speak.
In the reel he posted, he imagined what Bruce Willis would have said about two cyclists who are touring the United States. “MAnd I can only imagine what Bruce would say: ‘I hope you remember to hydrate.’ I support him.“Stay strong and safe! I am so proud of you,” she said.
However, a few days ago, her eldest daughter, Rumer Williswas on Today to talk about her mother’s upcoming performances and spoke about Bruce’s health. “He’s doing very well. In fact, I was able to see him just before I came to New York,” she explained.

At the end of last year, the screenwriter Glenn Gordon Caronsaid that she visits him every month and that she has direct contact with his family. On that occasion, she revealed that the actor already had difficulty speaking.
“My feeling is that he knows who I am. Although he is not completely verbal. He used to be a voracious reader, a trait he didn’t want anyone to know about him, and now he doesn’t read anymore.. All those language skills he can no longer use. When you’re with him, you know he’s Bruce, but his joy of life is gone,” she said at the time.
