Bruce Willis’ dementia has “progressed” and his family is “worried they may not have much more time” with him, according to a source.
The Die Hard star, 69, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia last year, having previously been diagnosed with aphasia. He is currently being cared for by his family, with his wife Emma Heming Willis often sharing updates with fans on Instagram.
Now, a source has said Bruce’s family are making the most of the time they have left with him. The source claimed how much time is left with the actor “is always weighing on their minds”.
They added: “The disease has progressed to the point where his family worries they may not have much more time with Bruce left. They wonder whether he’ll even make it to his 70th birthday.”
Speaking to In Touch Magazine, the source also claimed Bruce is joined by a team of carers whenever he goes out, which is rare. They explained the team “supervise him and make sure he’s OK and doesn’t get confused.”
The source added: “It’s heartbreaking for the family to see him so vulnerable and dependent.” The comments come after Bruce’s close friend Glenn Gordon Caron gave an update on the star’s health.
