Movies and TV Shows

As someone who has a close family member that battles with dementia I feel for the Willis family. You get to watch the loved one you remember die a little bit each and every day until you start to forget how they used to be. Life is rough, don’t forget to enjoy what you have in the moment because it’ll be gone before you know it.

Sucks man. He and Arnie will always be my favorite action stars.
Every time I catch 5th Element scrolling through the channels, I put it on. It's tied with Die Hard at the top of my list.

He's a good actor and a great leading man. He doesn't have the most range but when you need his tough-but-not-too-tough-sarcastic-everyman-who-can-take-a-punch.

Hudson Hawk is one of my favorite movies ever made.

postscript: I just realized he's actually credited as a co-writer of Hudson Hawk!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Willis family publicly revealed in 2022 that the 68-year-old Pulp Fiction star was diagnosed with aphasia and was retiring from acting.

Since then, Heming Willis has served as the actor’s caregiver during his struggle with the devastating disease, which is known to put an incredible emotional strain on the families of those afflicted.

The 45-year-old former model and Make Time Wellness founder posted an Instagram video Monday that she described as “a care partner PSA.” Heming Willis explained why she had previously asked people who are similarly taking care of a loved one with dementia to send her photos of “something beautiful.”

In February, the family gave an update that Willis’ condition had progressed into frontotemporal dementia.

“While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” read a statement released by Willis’ family.

As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.”

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

These kinds of diseases are what scare me the most. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

It’s just a terrible situation. I feel for her and the family and I sincerely hope that she is using multiple home heath aids.

bruce willis has been a staple my whole life. Moonlighting was freaking amazing, and really, only because of bruce.

i kinda wish he died of an aneurysm or something, because this is really the worst outcome. right here. hes living it.

i have tried to get it in my head that the bruce i grew up with already died last year.. but its hard seeing updates like this.

FABIAAAANNE!

With repeated head injuries being more of a focus over the last few years.

I remember someone suggested a potential connection between this and Bruce's head knocks while filming. Was any link found?

Dementia is the worst. I would take dying of cancer or getting hit by a bus over Alzheimer's or Aphasia or other forms of dementia. Truly the worst way to live your remaining years, which often is decades.
