Fronto-temporal dementia, a constant struggle
The disease diagnosed to Bruce Willis, degenerative and without a cure, is precisely made of ups and downs. Moments when the 68-year-old is more present and sociable alternate with more difficult moments, as the actor's own family had explained on several occasions, even addressing an appeal to the paparazzi ready to attract the attention of Bruce in moments of serenity.

Emma Heming Willis' appeal
Bruce's wife , Emma Heming Willis, had directly addressed the paparazzi, asking them to keep their distance and not interrupt his peace of mind: "Please don't shout, don't ask him how he is or anything, don't make too much noise. Give him his space. Allow those who are accompanying him somewhere to do so in extreme safety." After an initial diagnosis of aphasia, last February Bruce Willis 's family members had unveiled the new diagnosis, fronto-temporal dementia, a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss and deterioration of neurons in specific areas of the Central Nervous System.
