Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis says the action star “doesn’t know” he has dementia, which necessitated his retirement in recent years.
Bruce Willis and wife Emma Heming Willis attend the "Motherless Brooklyn" Arrivals during the 57th New York Film Festival on October 11, 2019 in New York City. ” podcast, 47-year-old Heming Willis tells host Cameron Rogers that the “Die Hard” star, 70, “never tapped in” to an awareness of his condition.
“He never connected the dots that he has this disease. And I’m really happy about that. I’m really happy that he doesn’t know,” said “The Unexpected Journey” author, who married Willis in 2009.. The term applies to brain diseases primarily affecting the frontal and temporal lobes, which are associated with personality, behavior, and language, according to Mayo Clinic., which Mayo Clinic says is a condition that makes someone unable to “recognize other health conditions or problems” they may have. “I think they think this is their normal. And it’s not for everybody,” said Heming Willis. “So, where people think this might be denial ’cause they don’t want to go to the doctor … actually this is the anosognosia that comes into play.” She clarified that Willis is “still very much present in his body” and does still know who she and their daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. That is “because he doesn’t have Alzheimer’s, he has FTD. So … he has a way of connecting with me, our children, that might not be the same as you would connect with your loved one, but it’s still very beautiful. … It’s just different. You just learn how to adapt.”Miss Manners: Here's why 'sir' and 'ma'am' aren't appropriate anymoreDear Abby: I'm going broke paying for what my partner's grandchildren consumeAsking Eric: She shows up late and then teases me for being uptight about timeTrader Joe’s 2026 winners: Customers’ 11 favorite products — including a savory new No. 1Tim Cook slammed for partying at Melania Trump's movie after Pretti killing
