Demi Moore made a touching tribute to Bruce Willis on his 70th birthday by sharing a heartfelt collection of family photos on Instagram. The collection showcased candid moments of Willis with Moore, their daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, as they celebrated their father's special day. These images offered fans a rare look at the beloved actor, who has largely retreated from the public eye since his retirement in 2022 due to a diagnosis of aphasia. Tragically, his family announced a year later that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were married for over a decade, from 1987 until their divorce in 2000, yet they have maintained a strong friendship over the years. Moore has been regularly visiting Willis, revealing during her recent awards press tour that she sees him weekly.
In her touching Instagram caption, Moore wrote, "We love you," reflecting the bond they share. Their daughter Rumer also honored her father by posting a joyful video of Willis and Moore dancing together from years past, captioning it: “To the King… I love you, Daddio.”
Scout, another daughter, expressed her admiration through her post, declaring, “Happy birthday to the Greatest of all time. Every day I thank the Gods that 50% of my DNA is from him. The music I make, the magic I create, and the magnetic mischief I incite, that’s my father’s legacy alive in the world.”
Tallulah echoed her siblings' sentiments by highlighting the incredible tapestry of characters Willis has portrayed throughout his career. She reflected, “He’s a spaceman, a hero with a badge, a sassy detective with unparalleled banter – and it’s been a privilege to witness all these different characters engraved into history because of his innate spirit and soul.”
Willis’ family first shared news of his aphasia diagnosis in March 2022, detailing its impact on his cognitive abilities and the hard decision for him to step back from acting — a career that has brought joy to millions. The diagnosis was a painful yet clarifying moment for the family, as they announced the progression to frontotemporal dementia the following year.
Willis began his illustrious acting journey in the early 1980s, landing uncredited roles before gaining prominence as David Addison in the hit series "Moonlighting." His iconic role as John McClane in the 1988 film "Die Hard" catapulted him into superstardom, paving the way for an impressive portfolio that grossed over $5 billion worldwide throughout his four-decade career. His accolades include five Golden Globe nominations (with one win) and three Emmy awards, solidifying his status as a legendary figure in Hollywood.
In light of Bruce Willis’ health challenges, his family's loving tributes serve as a poignant reminder of his extraordinary legacy both on-screen and as a father. Check out Moore's heartfelt post below to witness the love in this extraordinary family.
