Actor Bruce Willis was seen this weekend taking a car ride through Los Angeles accompanied by a caregiver, according to the Page Six portal.
With a serious but basically healthy appearance, the protagonist of Die Hard seems to have gone out to get some air, since he has rarely left the house since he retired from cinema in March 2022 after the lethal diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. . .

At first, doctors told Willis that he suffered from aphasia, since his speech was affected. However, the cognitive deterioration of the divine actor turned into something worse, senile dementia at the age of 69.
Fortunately, their support network is large. His extended family (he has five daughters from two marriages) takes care of him and keeps him well protected and protected from the media, frequently giving news about his health.
“He’s not totally verbal anymore. He used to be a voracious reader and now he doesn’t read. All those language skills are no longer available to you. However, he’s still Bruce. When you are with him, you know it is Bruce and you are grateful that he is there, but the joy of life is gone,” said his wife Emma Heming.
The model and the actor married in 2009, renewed their vows ten years later and have two daughters, Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10.
With Demmy Moore, with whom Willis had three older daughters (Rummer, Talullah and Scout) and was married until 2000, he maintains a great relationship. In fact, she goes to see him regularly, although sometimes he does not recognize her due to her illness.
