<p>Tallulah Willis fired back after fans criticized her decision to post photos of her father, retired actor Bruce Willis, as he battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD).</p>
<p>Tallulah, the youngest of the three daughters the &#8220;Die Hard&#8221; actor shares with actress ex-wife Demi Moore, shared a series of photos via Instagram — several of which included her father — as they shared a &#8220;Sunday Funday&#8221; with family.</p>

<p>Responding to Willis&#8217; photos — which she captioned, &#8220;Sunday funday at Grams ! Grateful&#8221; — one fan suggested that perhaps she should not share photos of her father as he continues to struggle with his health.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t think you should expose your dad to the public! He is vulnerable! And some things should be kept private! You don’t have his permission to post it!&#8221; the comment read.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi. I hear that. As a family we use our discretion when posting. Today was a great day filled with smiles,&#8221; Tallulah responded to the comment directly. &#8220;I made the judgment call to show that to the world, because I know what he means to everyone.&#8221;</p>
<p>The majority of the comments were positive, however, and many shared personal stories of their own loved ones who had suffered from dementia or other similar conditions. Most defended Willis in her decision to celebrate and share the good moments whenever they came, saying that it was clear from the photos that he was surrounded by family and well-loved.</p>
<p>The beloved action star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bruce-willis-reveals-diagnosis-that-is-taking-him-out-of-the-hollywood-game">left Hollywood</a> abruptly in 2022, publicly sharing a diagnosis of aphasia. Several months later, his family revealed that he&#8217; been diagnosed with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-frontotemporal-dementia">frontotemporal dementia</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone,” the family&#8217;s statement read. &#8220;For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. 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.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider this a Public Service Announcement for Team Harris/Walz.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Democratic ticket is struggling to coax men to vote Democrat on November 5. All the farcical hunting trips and faux-tough rockers can’t sell half the population on Vice President Kamala Harris.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And let’s not get started on that macho men for Harris ad. John Wayne never crossed his legs the way that one actor does in the spot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Democrats would be better off watching the following movies to get pointers on Manhood 101.</span></p>
<h3><b>&#8220;Shane&#8221; (1953)</b></h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s OK to tear up during the Western’s final moments. Honest. Up until then, director George Stevens’ film showcases why masculinity matters.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alan Ladd plays the title character, a retired gunslinger who decides to help ranchers at the mercy of a local thug. Shane wants to put killing behind him, but getting to know the Starrett clan changes those plans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Decent people deserve someone who can protect them. Their survival comes first.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shane memorably teaches young Joey Starrett (Brandon deWilde) how to use a gun and wrestles a massive tree trunk with the Starrett patriarch in another iconic scene. He even feels a romantic tug for Mrs. Starrett (Jean Arthur) but knows not to break up their nuclear family.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The final gunfight remains a thing of beauty all these years later, a testament to cool under fire.</span></p>
<h3><b>&#8220;Jaws&#8221; (1975)</b></h3>
<div id="attachment_819047" style="width: 730px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-819047" class="size-large wp-image-819047" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/10/MV5BMTUwNzExMTA3NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDE3NTQ1MDI%40._V1_-720x576.jpg" alt="English actor Robert Shaw (1927 - 1978) as Quint, viewed through a set of shark jaws, in a publicity still for 'Jaws', directed by Steven Spielberg, 1975.

(Photo by Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images)</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ultimate shark thriller doubles as a treatise on masculinity. The three male characters capture the shades of the modern man. Roy Scheider’s Sheriff Brody is a calm, cool and committed leader. He also knows when he’s out of his depth. He pushes past his fear of the water to stop a shark from snacking on more Amity beach dwellers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quint, memorably played by Robert Shaw, is the ultimate Alpha Male.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Richard Dreyfuss’s scholarly Matt Hooper looks like a “Revenge of the Nerds” castoff, but he proves his mettle when it counts. He’s also not afraid to show fear in the face of what seems like insurmountable odds. One of the film’s best lines? Hooper struggles to clean his diving mask seconds before he descends into the steel cage for an up close and personal look at the shark.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve got no spit,” he confesses, capturing both fear and resilience. He’s still going down to confront the shark. That’s what a man does.</span></p>

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rocky Balboa could have lived down to everyone’s expectations. Sylvester Stallone’s character wasn’t bright, nor was he born with anything resembling a silver spoon in his mouth. He was a journeyman fighter granted a chance to make something of himself. That’s assuming he can last a few rounds with the great Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stay down, Rocky. No one expects you to win.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rocky won’t quit. He screws up his courage, trains harder than he’s ever trained before and manages to woo a shy pet shop clerk named Adrian (Talia Shire) along the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ain’t gonna be no rematch,” Creed grunts late in the fight, knowing Rocky will never quit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a reason Stallone remains a star at 78. Fans love his aspirational characters, none more than the Italian Stallion. Rocky represents a puncher’s chance, the notion that anyone in America can corral their destiny with hard work, hustle and an indomitable spirit.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You may never see more unchecked testosterone in a feature film. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads this manly ensemble, a war picture that takes a Sci-Fi turn when the title creatures appears.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Co-stars Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, Carl Weathers and Sonny Landham tear down half the jungle trying to swat their invisible foe. Only Schwarzenegger’s character lives long enough for the battle royale.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Muscle. Sweat. Blood. It’s the perfect ‘80s action movie in a decade loaded with over-the-top male heroes.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sure, it’s a Christmas movie, but beneath the yuletide tinsel lies a tribute to a father and husband. Det. John McClane (Bruce Willis) gets the worst Christmas present possible – a gang of Eurotrash thieves overtakes Nakatomi Plaza on December 24.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">McClane’s ex (Bonnie Bedelia) is among the hostages, and he’ll stop at nothing to save her. He’ll walk barefoot over broken glass and stare down one of Hollywood’s most memorable villains, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s got the heart of a champion, showcased in four increasingly diminished sequels. He also knows when it’s best to use a wisecrack to keep the enemy off balance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willis lacked the cartoonish physique of Stallone and Schwarzenegger, the ‘80s defining action stars. He made do with a wife-beater T-shirt and a never-say-die spirit.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patrick Swayze’s James Dalton can crack skulls with the best of him. The bouncer would rather de-escalate a bar fight than pour gasoline on its flames. Masculinity can evoke restraint, too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dalton could take on a roomful of drunks, but being a man means knowing when violence is the very last resort.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being a man also means treating a lady right. Dalton proves he’s aces on that front, too, while courting his lovely physician (Kelly Lynch).</span></p>

<p>CNN anchor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jake-tapper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jake Tapper</a> compared President Joe Biden to a movie character who is oblivious to the fact that he is dead.</p>
<p>Tapper made the comparison on Thursday as voices from within the Democratic Party grow louder and louder, calling for Biden to exit the 2024 campaign — and reports have begun to circulate that he could agree to step aside in the coming days.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s team, in contrast, has insisted that he plans to stay in the race and is the only one who could potentially beat former President Trump in a second head-to-head match-up. That, said Tapper, was what made Biden similar to &#8220;The Sixth Sense&#8221; main character Malcolm Crowe. Crowe, played in the 1999 M. Night Shyamalan thriller by actor Bruce Willis, is a psychologist who does not realize until the end of the film that he is actually dead.</p>

<p>&#8220;Meanwhile, events no less momentous are playing out in Delaware where President Biden is self-isolating after testing positive for COVID, we’re told. To hear top Democrats tell it, President Biden is like Bruce Willis’ character in the movie &#8216;The Sixth Sense.&#8217; He is the only one who seems unaware of his grim fate,&#8221; Tapper explained.</p>

<p>&#8220;Former President Obama has told allies recently that Biden&#8217;s chances of winning have &#8216;greatly diminished,&#8217; interesting choice of words,&#8221; Tapper continued, adding, &#8220;And that Biden needs to seriously consider the path forward, according to The Washington Post.&#8221;</p>
<p>A number of high profile Democrats — including Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chuck-schumer-forcefully-made-the-case-that-biden-should-bow-out-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Schumer</a> (D-NY), according to a Wednesday report from ABC News — have either publicly or privately addressed the issue with Biden, saying that it would be best for the party and for the country if he would bow out of the presidential race.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I was able to have a good cry [with a friend],&#8221; Emma shared in a second post. &#8220;It is really important to be able to have someone that you can trust with your feelings instead of just bottling them up and putting your best foot forward and just kind of soldiering through stuff, which I have a tendency to do.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;You know, holidays are hard, anniversaries are hard,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But for me, this year, it has really been about community, building a community and connection. And I just want to say that has been my lifeline and I just want to thank you for that.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Since we announced Bruce&#8217;s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce&#8217;s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD),&#8221; the statement </span><a href="https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/bruce-willis-family-gives-update-on-new-frontotemporal-dementia-diagnosis.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">added</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. &#8220;Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces.

Bruce Willis’ Wife Shares Touching Post On Wedding Anniversary Amid Dementia Battle

Wedding

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bruce-willis"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce Willis</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8216; wife Emma seemingly weighed in on the debate over whether or not “Die Hard” should be considered a </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christmas"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> movie.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 45-year-old model made her opinion known by sharing a snippet of the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">film</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on her Instagram Story on Monday. She played the Run D.M.C. song “Christmas in Hollis” over a clip of Bruce in a white tank top while holding a gun. Her caption simply said, &#8220;Us too&#8221; with a heart hands emoji.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willis starred in the 1988 action-thriller film along with actor De&#8217;voreaux White. White insisted the film is a Christmas movie because the events take place on Christmas Eve. “I&#8217;m gonna break it down to you. For the record, it&#8217;s a Christmas cult classic. Don&#8217;t forget it!” he told </span><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12865497/Die-Hard-Devoreaux-White-Christmas-Bruce-Willis-debate.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Daily Mail</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willis himself </span><a href="https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/holidays-celebrations/a41577637/is-die-hard-a-christmas-movie/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">weighed in</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the controversy in 2018, saying, “Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.” But one of the film’s screenwriters, Steven E. de Souza, insisted that it was.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m sure you… weighed in on it before, but I’ve never heard you or Jeb Stuart offer your take on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie,” Jake Tapper </span><a href="https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/944740130681753601"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tweeted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> at de Souza in 2017. He replied, “Yes, because the studio rejected the Purim draft.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willis retired from acting last year. The actor’s family announced that he was diagnosed with aphasia, then said in February 2023 that he had a new diagnosis. </span></p>

While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emma said in August that she was “not good” and felt a sense of “doom and gloom” dealing with her husband’s declining health.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce and Emma first met in 2007 and began dating shortly after. They married in 2009. They have two daughters: Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before marrying Emma, the actor was married to Demi Moore from 1987 until 2000. He and Demi have three children: Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29.</span></p>

<p>The 35-year-old daughter and actress of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore talked about the inspiration for her infant daughter&#8217;s name and called it &#8220;divine intervention,&#8221; <a href="https://people.com/rumer-willis-reveals-daughters-name-inspired-by-text-typo-exclusive-7681333" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were thinking about the name Loretta, and it was a typo,&#8221; Willis said. &#8220;Her dad and I were texting, and he left the &#8216;R&#8217; out of Loretta, and it was just Louetta.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I was like, &#8216;Oh, I love that!'&#8221; she added. &#8220;I feel like it was one of those kind of divine intervention universe moments, and we figured it out actually quite early in my pregnancy.&#8221;</p>
<p>She admitted even once they decided on her name, she was worried whether it would be the right fit.</p>
<p>&#8220;What was scary was, I love this name, but oh man, is it going to be her name? Is it the right name?&#8221; Willis said. &#8220;What if she comes out and doesn&#8217;t look like this?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I fell in love with the name so much, so early on, that I was then worried that it wouldn&#8217;t work,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But then she came out, and I mean, to me, at least right now, I was going to name her Lou, whether she was a boy or a girl.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I wanted to find something that had a lot of versatility,&#8221; the &#8220;Once Upon A Time&#8230;In Hollywood&#8221; actress continued. &#8220;If she doesn&#8217;t feel like a Louetta, she can go by Lou, she can go by Etta. She can go change it up throughout her life. Whatever she wants.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s so important for us to break up our thinking which can feel, for me very much, like doom and gloom,&#8221; the 45-year-old told her followers during a video post. &#8220;I know it looks like I&#8217;m out, living my best life. I have to make a conscious effort every single day to live the best life I can.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emma said she keeps going because of the two daughters she shares with the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">actor</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, &#8220;I do that for myself. I do that for our two children and Bruce, who would not want me to live any other way. So I don&#8217;t want it to be misconstrued that I am good because I am not. I am not good.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She got a little emotional while concluding the message: &#8220;I have to put my best foot forward for myself and the sake of my family. Again, when we are not looking after ourselves we cannot look after anyone that we love. So, it is really important and, like I said, this is a conscious effort.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I am just doing the best that I can always. Your pictures are making me happy,&#8221; Emma went on. &#8220;I just want you to take a moment out of your day to break it up for a minute to just look for something beautiful.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mom of two reiterated the message in the video caption, saying it’s vital to take care of ourselves before caring for others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;This is a care partner PSA. My message is simple. When we are not looking after ourselves, we are no good to the people we love who we want to show up for and take care of. I don&#8217;t have this down to a fine science either, but I try. It&#8217;s an affirmation I use daily, so it&#8217;s kept in the forefront of my mind. Your pictures, words of support and love for me and my family were felt. Honestly, thank you, it helps.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willis’ family shared a statement on social media in 2022 announcing that he was stepping away from his acting career after being diagnosed with aphasia. Later, his family shared that the “Die Hard” star had a </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-frontotemporal-dementia"><span style="font-weight: 400;">new diagnosis</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD),” the family </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-frontotemporal-dementia"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in February 2023. “Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”</span></p>

Bruce Willis’ Wife Says She’s 'Not Good,' Feels 'Doom And Gloom' In Wake Of His Dementia Diagnosis

<p>Stunt crews had to check on actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughter-tallulah-says-family-missed-early-signs-of-bruce-willis-dementia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bruce Willis</a> after his first &#8220;Die Hard&#8221; scene — to make sure that he had survived it.</p>
<p>The film&#8217;s screenwriter, Steve de Souza, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/04/die-hard-crew-feared-bruce-willis-was-dead-after-first-scene/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recounted the tale</a> to author Nick de Semlyen in his new book, titled &#8220;<span id="productTitle" class="a-size-extra-large"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Last-Action-Heroes-Triumphs-Hollywoods/dp/059323880X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=23NX8UZLCV9L0&amp;keywords=Last+Action+Heroes&amp;qid=1687895258&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=last+action+heroes,stripbooks,62&amp;sr=1-1&amp;tag=nypost-20&amp;asc_refurl=https://nypost.com/2023/07/04/die-hard-crew-feared-bruce-willis-was-dead-after-first-scene/&amp;asc_source=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Last Action Heroes: The Triumphs, Flops, and Feuds of Hollywood&#8217;s Kings of Carnage</a>.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>De Souza said that casting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-was-an-absolute-puddle-bruce-willis-wife-reveals-what-their-9-year-old-taught-her-about-his-disease" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Willis</a> was a long, drawn-out affair — and it almost didn&#8217;t happen. Initially, no one even wanted the script. &#8220;James Caan told me directly, &#8216;I read the script, and this guy’s running away for the first twenty-five pages,'&#8221; de Souza explained that the action stars of the day couldn&#8217;t wrap their minds around an action movie hero who didn&#8217;t charge in, guns blazing, from the start.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the context of these ’roid-rage, superhuman heroes we had at the time, this character seemed like a p***y,&#8221; de Souza said of John McClane.</p>
<p>Clint Eastwood reportedly nixed the role because he didn&#8217;t get the sarcastic humor, and Richard Gere&#8217;s recent conversion to Buddhism had led him to seek more &#8220;spiritual&#8221; projects. Other reports have named a number of actors who declined the role, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charles Bronson, Harrison Ford, and Al Pacino.</p>
<p>Willis turned it down at first, citing a conflict with his hit show &#8220;Moonlighting&#8221; — but when Cybill Shepherd announced her pregnancy, his schedule changed. Still, he wasn&#8217;t a shoo-in. His agent demanded a $5 million payday — and said that Willis as prepared to walk if they didn&#8217;t come through. Desperate producers, afraid that the whole project would be shelved otherwise, forked over the cash.</p>
<p>But according to de Semlyen, getting Willis onboard was only half the battle — then he had to survive shooting one of his first scenes.</p>
<p>The scene, in which an explosion sends the actor flying, was dangerous enough that it was scheduled early in the filming in order to leave time to recast Willis&#8217; role if something went wrong.</p>

<p>&#8220;As he waited, rubbing his hands together and wearing only a pair of black trousers, a white firehose was looped around his bare midriff, a Heckler &amp; Koch MP5 submachine gun hung via a strap from his neck, and a viscous gel slathered over his exposed skin,&#8221; de Semlyen wrote, explaining that the gel was to prevent Willis from catching on fire himself as he jumped from a ledge, landing on an airbag that was positioned below the frame.</p>
<p>&#8220;As he did, large plastic bags of gasoline were detonated, unleashing a fireball that blew Willis, he claimed, right to the edge of the bag,&#8221; de Semlyen continued. &#8220;When I landed, everyone came running over to me and I thought they were going to say, &#8216;Great job! Attaboy!&#8217; And what they were doing is seeing if I’m alive because I almost missed the bag.&#8221;</p>


Bruce Willis In ‘Die Hard’

Stunt Crew Had To Make Sure Bruce Willis Wasn’t Dead After First ‘Die Hard’ Scene, New Book Says

Stunt Crew Had To Make Sure Bruce Willis Wasn't Dead After First 'Die Hard' Scene, New Book Says

<p>Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-was-an-absolute-puddle-bruce-willis-wife-reveals-what-their-9-year-old-taught-her-about-his-disease" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bruce Willis</a> was recently diagnosed first with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bruce-willis-reveals-diagnosis-that-is-taking-him-out-of-the-hollywood-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aphasia</a> and then with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-frontotemporal-dementia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frontotemporal dementia</a> – a diagnosis that effectively put an end to his career in Hollywood – and his daughter Tallulah said that even his family may have missed some of the early warning signs of his condition.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-settled-bruce-willis-daughters-put-an-end-to-long-running-debate-over-die-hard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Willis</a>, 29, is the youngest of the three daughters shared by ex-spouses Bruce Willis and actress Demi Moore – and she told <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/bruce-willis-and-me-memoir-tallulah-willis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue Magazine</a> that even before her father was officially diagnosed, she had known for quite some time that something was not quite right.</p>
<p>&#8220;It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: &#8216;Speak up!&#8217; &#8216;Die Hard&#8217; messed with Dad’s ears,'&#8221; she wrote, adding that the unresponsiveness she had noticed only increased over time — and she sometimes took that as a personal slight due to their changing and growing family.</p>
<p>&#8220;He had had two babies with my stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, and I thought he’d lost interest in me,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;Though this couldn’t have been further from the truth, my adolescent brain tortured itself with some faulty math: &#8216;I’m not beautiful enough for my mother, I’m not interesting enough for my father.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Willis went on to describe her own battle with anorexia nervosa, explaining that even if she knew something was not right with her dad, she was in no way equipped to help or even consciously acknowledge it because of how sick she was, weighing just 84 pounds at one point.</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-16423">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;While I was wrapped up in my body dysmorphia, flaunting it on Instagram, my dad was quietly struggling. All kinds of cognitive testing was being conducted, but we didn’t have an acronym yet,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;I remember a moment when it hit me painfully: I was at a wedding in the summer of 2021 on Martha’s Vineyard, and the bride’s father made a moving speech. Suddenly I realized that I would never get that moment, my dad speaking about me in adulthood at my wedding. It was devastating. I left the dinner table, stepped outside, and wept in the bushes.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was another year before she could fully address her own illness – and then she began to wonder whether it would have been allowed to progress so far if her father had not been &#8220;quietly struggling&#8221; with his own developing illness.</p>
<p>&#8220;What if my dad had been his full self and saw me at that size? What would he have done? I’d like to think that he wouldn’t have let it happen,&#8221; she mused. &#8220;Maybe he’s a stereotypical father of a certain generation in that way, a doer who, if he had understood, might have scooped me up and said, &#8216;This is ending now.&#8217; His style has always been to plug the leak even if he’s not sure why the leak is happening. Certainly there are benefits to examination, but there’s a beauty in his way, and I don’t think I noticed it until he was no longer capable of it.&#8221;</p>

<p>Emma Heming Willis described the exchange in a video she shared on Instagram, along with the following caption attributed to Speech Language Pathologist and Certified Dementia Practitioner Adria Thompson:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;On behalf of the person you’re caring for that has dementia, whether they can express it or not — I want to say thank you. Thank you for loving them, thank you for spending time to educate yourself about dementia. Because that is the most compassionate thing that you can do by having more insight into their world and the life they are experiencing that they can’t always express.'&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;So Evelyn says to me the other day, &#8216;Did you know that people with dementia can become severely dehydrated?&#8217; I said, &#8216;I didn&#8217;t know that, but how do you know that?&#8217; She says, &#8216;I was at school the other day and I had some free time and I was looking up fun facts about dementia,'&#8221; Willis continued.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moore shared the home video on her Instagram account. In it, Willis’s family, including his wife Emma Heming Willis and his children, belt out &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; while serving a dessert with lit candles. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willis looks happy during the celebration and responds by smiling and fist-pumping while his family cheers. After the “Die Hard” star blew out his birthday candles, the family said a round of &#8220;Hip-hip, hooray!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family. Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes — we all feel them,” Moore wrote in the video caption. She and Willis were married from 1987 until 2000. The former action star has been married to Heming Willis since 2009. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I always get this message where people always tell me, ‘Oh you’re so strong. I don’t know how you do it.’ I’m not given a choice. I wish I was but I’m also raising two kids in this,” she continued, referencing daughters Mabel and Evelyn.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heming said, “Sometimes in our lives, we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it, and that’s what I’m doing. But I do have times of sadness every day, grief every day and I’m really feeling it today on his birthday.”</span></p>

Demi Moore Shares Video Of Family Singing To Bruce Willis For His 68th Birthday: ‘Love You’

Demi Moore Shares Video Of Family Singing To Bruce Willis For His 68th Birthday

<p>Bruce Willis&#8217; wife, Emma Hemming, shut down reports that her husband&#8217;s ex-wife, Demi Moore, had moved in with the couple following the actor&#8217;s dementia diagnosis.</p>
<p>Hemming posted a message on her Instagram Story on Wednesday responding to a <a href="https://okmagazine.com/p/demi-moore-moved-in-ex-bruce-willis-wife-help-care-dementia-diagnosis/">headline</a> that read, &#8220;Demi Moore &#8216;Moved In&#8217; With Ex Bruce Willis &amp; His Wife To Help Care For Him After Heartbreaking Dementia Diagnosis: Source.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s nip this one in the bud,&#8221; Hemming wrote. &#8220;This is so dumb. Please stop.&#8221;</p>
<p>The post came a day after she responded to other claims that she was using her husband&#8217;s frontotemporal dementia [FTD] diagnosis for her &#8220;five minutes&#8221; of fame.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m always going to advocate for my husband and raise awareness around FTD and for caregivers who are unsung heroes out there,&#8221; she said in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpf2KBOOVc7/">Instagram</a> video.</p>

<p>&#8220;And then I&#8217;m going to turn my grief and anger and sadness and do something good around something that feels less than,&#8221; she added. &#8220;So, watch this space because I didn&#8217;t come to play.&#8221;</p>
<p>In February, Willis&#8217; family shared a joint statement that the 67-year-old actor had been officially diagnosed with the disease following a report a year earlier that he was diagnosed with aphasia.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce&#8217;s original diagnosis,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Since we announced Bruce&#8217;s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce&#8217;s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD),&#8221; the statement <a href="https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/bruce-willis-family-gives-update-on-new-frontotemporal-dementia-diagnosis.html">added</a>. &#8220;Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.&#8221;</p>
<p>The statement was signed by Emma, their two daughters Mabel and Evelyn, along with Willis&#8217; ex-wife Demi and their adult daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah.</p>
