Bruce Willis Marks 1st Appearance Since Dementia Diagnosis

Bruce Willis, 67, was publicly seen for the first time after his family announced he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

In the footage, the “Die Hard” actor had a day out with two friends in Santa Monica, Calif.

He sported a grey beanie, blue sweatshirt, and black pants, which he paired with a black watch.

The day out comes two weeks after his family announced he had been diagnosed with the “cruel disease,” which can cause slowed movement, stiffness, balance problems, and changes in behavior or language.

“While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” his wife, Emma Heming, ex-wife Demi Moore and five daughters said on the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website.

“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. 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,” the family continued.

While Willis’ family said there are “no treatments” for the disease, they hope “any media attention” can shed light on the illness “that needs more awareness and research.”
