The 68-year-old actor enjoyed a fun day after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia earlier this year.
After being diagnosed with aphasia, a degenerative brain condition, first, and with frontotemporal dementia, later, actor Bruce Willis, 68, lives surrounded by his loved ones, who are in charge of giving him love and all the care that, for now , needs.
After his daughter Tallulah confessed that she is collecting and recording all kinds of memories for when her father permanently loses his memory, the actor’s wife, Emma Heming, has shared an endearing video where I could see the protagonist of Die Hard enjoying his young daughters Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9, from a fun day at the Disney amusement parks.

Three months after his last appearance in some photos, where he looked thinner walking through the streets of Santa Monica, the actor has left his family refuge to spend an intense day going up the attractions. One of those chosen by his little daughters has been the classic Splash Mountain.
In the video shared by Heming, 44, the actor can be seen smiling with his daughter Mabel before the water roller coaster begins its descent and leaves them completely drenched.
“You better watch out,” Bruce Willis is heard telling his daughter in the short video. “I think we’re going to fall again,” she adds as she wipes a few drops of water from her face. Bruce is shown to be a protective father, holding the little girl in her arm before the roller coaster begins its descent.
The images must have been taken at the end of May, as that attraction temporarily closed on the 31st. Along with the video, Emma wrote: “You can bet this family will be back to have fun and laughs when you reopen as Tiana Bayou Thanks for all the memories, Splash Mountain.”
The eldest daughters, too
That day, Willis was also accompanied by his three oldest daughters, Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29, daughters of Demi Moore. The three of them did not hesitate to join their father and his family on this fun day.
In early February of this year, the family of the American actor confirmed through a statement on Instagram that Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a type of disorder that has no cure and whose outcome is complex.
Willis’s cognitive decline appears to be progressing faster than anticipated. The 67-year-old actor has a hard time recognizing his family members and, according to the testimony of an uncle, he would no longer recognize his mother.

“She (Marlene) says that she is not very sure that her son recognizes her, that his behavior is slow and a bit aggressive,” Wilfried Gliem told the German newspaper Bild.
On February 16, the family of Bruce Willis reported that the American actor had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, less than a year after he announced his retirement from acting due to cognitive problems.
Bruce Willis had been diagnosed in March of last year with aphasia, a language disorder. “His condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia,” his five daughters, his wife Emma Heming Willis and his ex-wife Demi Moore announced in a statement.
