Bruce Willis and dementia

[Glenn's Take]

Let's try to change things up and share things they did that are now a little bit funny.

I guess he just kept hitting enter on the remote enough and ordered $400 worth of pay per views in a month. It never occurred to me that I needed to put parental controls on him.

So is this just more internet speculation or has a statement from the Willis camp been released? A month ago some here assumed Bob Saget died from the booster because that's what they wanted to believe.

It's all just rumors, but they started at least as far back as 2017 and they've been picking up a lot of steam lately since he's been on so many sets lately (Willis has made a staggering 21 movies in the past two years alone and so he hasn't exactly been keeping a low profile).

They Know He's Fading': Bruce Willis 'Made Truces' With His Family As 'Dementia Fears' Plague The Father-Of-Five

^ I hope it's not true but articles like that one are pretty specific and haven't been rebutted.

Not only terrible for the victim but almost as bad for family and caregivers.

Yeah…it’s no fun to go in to see your dad and he doesn’t even know your name. The worst part was that a week after my mom passed away my dad couldn’t remember anything about her passing…and they were married over 50 years.

It's a shame. Esp. as he kind of made his living as a quick witted guy in stuff like Moonlighting and Die Hard. Sad to hear of this.

Bruce always struck me as someone I would not like.

At one of these Hollywood parties a couple of years back I tried to introduce myself to Bruce Willis. "The p***k just looked at my hand and turned his back on me! "So I said, 'Excuse me, your face looks very familiar but I just cant put a name to you'. He collapsed, I can tell you!" Harris added: "I said, 'Anyway, whoever you are, you're standing in my place so f**k off!"

It got my dad a little over 2 years ago. I guess everyone thinks the disease they had to deal with is the worst. If there is something worse to deal with, I hope I never have to.

I agree! Very hard to watch my dad go thru it. Honestly believe it’s as bad of a disease a person can get with the impact it has on the family members.

I watched some movie he was in with a bunch of nobody actors and he clearly had issues. Looked like he was listening to someone tell him lines and he was slow saying them. Hard to watch. Pretty bad movie even without his issues.

I know he's made a lot of movies lately as he knew he wouldn't be able to soon. Almost all of them are direct to video. He usually has one or 2 new films in the Walmart new movie section that I haven't heard of. I wish him well it is a sad situation.

Wouldn’t wish dementia on my worst energy. Just a horrible disease.
