Demi Moore shares insights on Bruce Willis’s dementia journey
In the latest interview, Demi Moore mentioned how Bruce Willis is feeling. The actress revealed what is important when dealing with people suffering from dementia.
Bruce Willis is undoubtedly one of those actors who needs no introduction. The Hollywood star has appeared in many iconic movies such as "Die Hard", "The Fifth Element", "Pulp Fiction", and "The Sixth Sense". Unfortunately, more recently, greater attention has been on the 69-year-old regarding his health issues than his latest film productions. Last year, the actor's family announced that he is battling an incurable form of dementia – frontotemporal dementia.
In the face of illness, Bruce Willis can count on his family. He is supported not only by his wife Emma Heming, who is 24 years younger, and his daughters but also by his ex-wife Demi Moore. Photos of the star surrounded by loved ones frequently appear online.

The actress also revealed what is key when a loved one is suffering from dementia.
And I've shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely: It's so important for anybody who's dealing with this to really meet them where they're at. And from that place, there is such loving and joy - she pointed out.
She, of course, noted her awareness that it is not easy:
It’s very difficult and not what I would wish upon anyone, and there is great loss – but there’s also great beauty and gifts that can come out of it.

The 62-year-old also addressed her admirable relationship with her former husband.
That has been very important to me even from when Bruce and I separated and divorced, is the recognition that we're a family, and we'll always be a family, just in a different form. And that form may kind of evolve and change, and there is a way in which we can all be in that form. And I'm grateful, 'cause it's not just me — it has to require everybody to be coming together. And it's lovely - she explained in an interview.
Is such an ex-wife a treasure?
Recall that Demi and Bruce divorced in 2000. From their 13-year marriage, they have three daughters: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. Last year, the eldest child of the former spouses became a mother.
