Following his diagnosis with aphasia, a condition that disrupts communication, actor Bruce Willis has largely stayed out of the public eye. His family has been candid about his condition, revealing that he has frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and continues to keep fans updated on his health journey.
Rumer Willis, Bruce’s daughter, took to social media to express the family’s gratitude: “We want to start by thanking everyone for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and the wonderful stories we have received since sharing Bruce’s initial diagnosis. With that in mind, we wanted to provide an update on our beloved husband, father, and friend, now that we have a clearer understanding of his condition.”
She added, “Since we disclosed Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis in spring 2022, his condition has progressed, leading to a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD).”
As Bruce’s cognitive abilities continue to decline, his medical team is doing all they can to make his life more comfortable. Emma Heming, Willis’ wife, is working closely with a dementia specialist to ensure that the Die Hard star receives the best possible care. “My grief can be paralyzing, but I’m learning to coexist with it. As my stepdaughter, Scout Willis, reminded me, grief is the purest form of love. I hope that brings you some comfort too,” she shared in 2022.
Recently, Emma discovered a new Instagram feature that showcases past photos and videos. She shared a memory of Bruce from a year ago, where he is seen praising her, with the caption: “What’s this new Memory feature on IG!? Omg, my biggest fan. I’m so in love with him.”
In the video, Bruce is heard expressing his admiration for Emma’s skincare brand, Cocobaba.
Before the family publicly disclosed Willis’ diagnosis, his colleagues observed that he was struggling to remember his lines. A crew member from his recent film, White Elephant, remarked: “It wasn’t a matter of annoyance but more about protecting Bruce’s dignity. Someone would feed him a line, and he struggled to grasp its meaning. He was just being guided along.”
Man Kept Hearing Strange Noises Under Driveway, Look What He Found Inside.
Simon Marks, a 37-year-old man, made an interesting discovery. Stated differently, he’s been living in the same house for a long, but he just recently came to terms with the fact that he didn’t know what was hidden in the house he’d bought a few years earlier.
One day, while trying to park his car, he came upon what he believed to be a flowerbed. The wheels on his car got stuck, and he heard strange cracking noises coming from the driveway.
“Well, this day couldn’t get any worse,” he thought to himself.
When Marks knelt down to look into the issue more thoroughly, he saw that the driver had given way because the stones in the driveway had broken. An astounding discovery was made audibly by the sound of the pavers shattering.
Once all the dirt had been removed, he discovered a piece of metal underneath. Uncertain of what might be beneath the driveway, Marks grabbed onto the metal piece and tried unsuccessfully to pull it out. Then he turned back to investigate the mysterious object further.
He didn’t know what to do next, so he called his father for help. When they worked together, they were able to clear away a significant amount of dense muck, eventually exposing an aperture. Curious to explore where the rusty, rusting ladder would lead them, the two men climbed down.
“My dad saw it and knew right away that it was an air raid shelter,” Marks remembered.”We found that there are a lot in this area after browsing on Google.”
It appeared that the shelter they discovered in Marks’ garden was built during World War II.
As per Marks, “the previous owner had to have been aware of its existence and had to have filled it in during the construction of the house and garden.”
These shelters were designed to protect civilians from bombing during the conflict. They are said to have been invented by a man named Sir John Anderson.
Bricks have been used to close off a wall. We don’t know, but I’m 99 percent positive that we won’t find any more chambers. According to Marks, they might have bricked up one of the walls to create way for the foundations when the house was built.”If that’s the case, we’ll just have to leave it,” he said.
His discovery was caught on tape, and his story quickly spread throughout the world.
Marks and his father plan to renovate the shelter because they view it as an important historical landmark. They argue that although if that period of history is behind us, it shouldn’t be disregarded because it offers us a window into earlier eras.
