Photos and videos of actor Bruce Willis looking happy while celebrating his 70th birthday have been shared by his family on social media. Willis retired from acting a few years ago following a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
Bruce Willis, now 70 years old retired from acting in 2022 due to a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Frontotemporal dementia is a brain disorder that affects the parts controlling personality, behavior, and language. At the time of his diagnosis and subsequent retirement, it was reported that Willis was “not totally verbal.”
A diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia can lead to changes in behavior, personality, emotions, and difficulties with speech. Unlike Alzheimer’s, however, memory loss is not usually the main early symptom of the illness.
The former Die Hard and Pulp Fiction star celebrated his birthday on March 19 with his family, with both his ex-wife Demi Moore — who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress this year but narrowly lost out to Mikey Madison — and his daughters sharing photos and videos of him on social media. One of Moore’s posts, which she shared on her Instagram story, showed she and Willis dancing.
Moore and Willis got married in 1987 and had three daughters together. Although the pair got divorced in the year 2000, Moore has seemingly been a consistent presence in Willis’ life since his diagnosis in 2022.

Bruce and Demi’s daughter Scout shared a pair of particular emotional posts on Instagram, with one revealing that she cried a ton on the morning of Willis’ birthday.
“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,” Scout wrote of her father.
In addition to the aforementioned iconic duo of the Die Hard franchise and Pulp Fiction, some of the most notable films of Willis’ decades-spanning career were 12 Monkeys, The Fifth Element, Armageddon, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, The Whole Nine Yards, Moonrise Kingdom, and Looper.
