Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of the 80s sitcom Moonlightinghas an update on Bruce’s condition
Bruce Willis’ longtime friend, 68, will release an update on his condition. In March 2022, fans were left devastated after hearing that the die hard The star had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. This is a progressive neurological disorder that affects cognition and behavior.
In an interview with The New York PostGlenn Gordon Caron said he finds it heartbreaking to know that Willis “now sees life through a screen door” as he continues to battle the effects of dementia. The writer says that he tries his best to see Willis every month, but each visit becomes harder to bear after just a few minutes of being there.
“My feeling is that between one and three minutes later he knows who I am,” Caron explains. “He’s not totally verbal; He used to be a voracious reader (he didn’t want anyone to know) and now he doesn’t read. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he is still Bruce. When you’re with him you know it’s Bruce and you’re grateful he’s there, but the joy of life is gone.”
Caron says he has also maintained a relationship with his wife, Emma Heming Willis, and Willis’ children.
“I’m not always that good, but I try and I talk to him and his wife and I have a casual relationship with his three older children,” Caron adds. “I have tried very hard to stay in his life. He is an extraordinary person. what he does [his disease] so amazing it is [that] If you’ve ever spent time with Bruce Willis, there’s no one who has more joie de vivre than him. He loved life and…just loved waking up every morning and trying to live life to the fullest. So the idea of him now seeing life through a screen door, so to speak, makes very little sense. He is really an amazing guy.”
This update arrives shortly with the announcement that all 67 episodes of Moonlighting They are now available to stream on Hulu. The show stars Willis and Cybill Shepherd as private detectives who solve cases together. This is the first time the show is available to stream.
