Rumer Willis called her father Bruce Willis the ultimate «girl dad» during a recent interview on the Today show. «Mabel has just started walking a little bit, and she was walking towards him, and it was so sweet. I feel like my dad, he’s a real girl dad. And it’s like unlocking that childlike, dad thing. He’s so sweet with her. I’ve seen how he is with my sisters, my younger sisters», - she expressed.
In 2022, it was announced that Bruce had been diagnosed with dementia — more specifically, frontotemporal lobe degeneration — which led the Die Hard actor to retire from acting. «Dear Bruce’s fans, as a family, we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been dealing with some health issues and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which affects his cognitive abilities. As a result, and after much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him», - the family stated.
«This is truly a challenging time for our family, and we are very grateful for your ongoing love, compassion, and support», - they continued in their statement. «We are going through this as a strong family, and wanted to involve his fans because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, 'Live life to the fullest,' and together we plan to do just that».
Although this disease is a struggle, it hasn’t stopped Bruce from being the best grandfather he can be. The 35-year-old actress shared how she enjoys seeing her parents, Bruce and Demi Moore, thriving as loving grandparents. «Honestly, seeing them with her, it’s like unlocking all these childhood memories, because being a grandparent, I think, is the best. They have all the love and joy without any responsibilities. They can just spoil her», - she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.
In addition to family love, she shared her thoughts on motherhood. «It's the best. Honestly, I know sometimes people talk about how hard motherhood is, and I have to say, she’s kind of an anomaly», - Bruce’s daughter said. «It has taught me so much about staying present with myself and even in performances, just staying more grounded in the moment and being able to connect with people»
