Sickness is one of the few things in our world that does not discriminate and can impact people from all walks of life.

Sometimes our favorite celebrities become unwell and there is no miracle cure available to save them.

This week, terrible news about Bruce Willis’ health surfaced, as his dementia condition worsened.

The Moonlighting creator revealed that Bruce Willis’ speech has worsened due to his dementia

The 68-year-old actor, well known for his appearances in Die Hard, Pulp Fiction, and numerous more films and TV shows, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (also known as FTD) last year, his daughter revealed on Instagram.

The father-of-three has apparently been suffering from aphasia, a neurological ailment that impairs speech, since 2022, causing him to withdraw from performing.

Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, provided an update on her husband’s persistent health issues in May.

She commented on Instagram after watching the documentary Little Empty Boxes about filmmaker Max Lugavere’s mother’s battle with dementia that she realized “options were slim” for treating the ailment.

Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of the show Moonlighting that catapulted Bruce to fame, recently revealed his personal experiences when he paid Bruce a visit.

Glenn remains close to Bruce and recently discussed Moonlighting’s recent Hulu streaming availability with the German-born actor.

Glenn told The New York Post on Wednesday (October 11): “I know he’s really happy that the show is going to be available for people, even if he can’t tell me that.”

“When I got to spend time with him we talked about it and I know he’s excited.”

The 69-year-old screenwriter went on to explain how the process of getting the comedy-drama television series on the streaming service had been a rather lengthy one.

However, as Bruce’s disease is a progressive one, Glenn had been able to communicate the development with him, “before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now”.

Glenn continued: “I’m not always quite that good, but I try and I do talk to him and his wife and I have a casual relationship with his three older children.

“I have tried very hard to stay in his life. He’s an extraordinary person.

“We are so proud of him,” Emma wrote on Instagram

“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.”

The producer added: “So the idea that he now sees life through a screen door, if you will, makes very little sense.

According to Glenn, Bruce has lost his “joie de vivre” that he was known for

“He’s really an amazing guy.”

Glenn also confessed that he did not believe Bruce recognized him when he came to visit him.

“He loved life and … just adored waking up every morning,” Glenn said of Bruce

“My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am,” he said.

He continued: “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.

Glenn also confessed that he did not believe Bruce fully recognized him

“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.”

Meanwhile, Emma frequently uses her Instagram account to raise awareness of frontotemporal dementia.

Just last week, Bruce’s wife wrote to her 874,000 followers “how important it is for us care partners to make time for ourselves.”

Emma also occasionally posts updates of her husband, as she recently wrote in a post dedicated to Die Hard’s 35th anniversary.

“What Bruce has been able to accomplish in his career will never be lost on us. We are so proud of him,” she wrote.
