Tallulah Willis revealed why her family has been very open with Bruce Willis‘ ‘aggressive’ dementia diagnosis while also giving an update on the retired actor’s condition.
The actress, 29 – whose father is said to be losing ‘joie de vivre’ and ‘language skills’ amid his dementia decline – discussed the Die Hard star, 68, during Wednesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.
In February, Bruce’s loved ones announced on social media that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which Tallulah said was an ‘aggressive cognitive disease – form of dementia – that is very rare.’
When asked by Drew why the family has decided to be so open about his diagnosis, the youngest daughter of Bruce and Demi Moore stated, ‘Well, I think it’s twofold.’
‘On one hand, it’s who we are as a family, but also, it’s really important for us to spread awareness about FTD…’
