Overview
- In a January 28 Conversations with Cam podcast, Emma Heming Willis said Bruce Willis “never connected the dots” about his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.
- She attributed his lack of awareness to anosognosia, describing it as a neurological symptom of dementia that is often mistaken for denial.
- Heming Willis said he remains engaged with loved ones and clarified that his condition has affected language more than behavior.
- She reiterated that Willis now lives in a separate residence with 24/7 caregivers, a decision made to support their daughters’ daily life and his care needs.
- Willis retired from acting in 2022 after an aphasia diagnosis and was diagnosed with FTD in 2023, as Emma has taken on a public caregiving advocacy role, including a 2025 book.
