Bruce Willis: Die Hard actor pictured in rare snap two years after dementia diagnosis
Bruce Willis has been pictured in a sweet family snap two years after he was diagnosed with dementia.
The Die Hard star was pictured alongside his daughters — Tallulah and Scout — holding the sign: “Best Dad Ever.”
Tallulah wrote “grateful” alongside the photos she uploaded to Instagram to celebrate America’s Thanksgiving holiday.

The rare photo of Willis comes two years after his family released a statement announcing that the beloved actor had been diagnosed with aphasia — a disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate.
A year later, they revealed the diagnosis had been upgraded to frontotemporal dementia — a disorder that occurs when nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are lost, causing changes in behaviour, personality, language and movement.
In September, Demi Moore — who was married to Willis for 11 years and remains close to him — offered a rare glimpse into his health when she appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show.
Moore said she continued to spend significant time with Willis and his wife Emma Heming Willis.
