Bruce Willis' days in the present
At the recent Laughter Is the Best Medicine Gala 2024, which took place on Thursday in New York, Rumer Willis spoke to Fox News television network and provided new details on her father.
"I think, for me, through this experience, what's been so incredible is that my dad is so loved, and that's been so evident in the transparency that we've been sharing with. And I think if there's any way that sharing our experience brings hope, anything that comes up as a family, that can have an effect and bring any kind of hope, comfort to someone else who's experiencing that, then for me, that's it," she commented.
In other remarks, Rumer also stated: "He's doing great. I'm going to see him with [my daughter] Louetta. I had a chance to visit him, which was a very nice meeting. It was really nice to see him with my daughter and just go give him love."
The disease the actor is facing
This disease is considered to be a group of disorders affecting the frontal and temporal lobes. This means that the lobes are atrophied and this can produce different manifestations such as problems in speech, emotions and personality.
In addition, other motor complexities are also attributed, such as muscle spasms, difficulty walking or eating.
Normally, patients may experience the first symptoms of this disease from 40 to 65 years of age; however, cases were also found in younger people, making it one of the best known forms of dementia among those under 60 years of age.
