Emma Hemming explains An old comment has resurfaced

While speaking on The Bossticks, Heming talked about her husband’s health and talked about the Die Hard actor’s performance. Willis was moved to a separate home with around-the-clock care and an on-site medical team.She said that Willis suffers from a type of dementia that is different from the traditional definition that people believe. She added: “The type that Bruce has affects language, but there is another variable that will affect behavior and another that can affect movement.”As for clarifying what she meant when she said Willis’ brain was failing him last year, Hemming noted, “That’s a different part of the brain. So when people say, ‘Oh, you know, does he remember who you are?'” Well, he does because he doesn’t have Alzheimer’s; he has FTD.“It’s a very common misconception that when you think of dementia, we think of memory loss,” Hemming added, citing some official statistics in the interview.

It is different from Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, but frontotemporal dementia is the most common form of dementia in people under 60 years of age.For context, veteran actor Bruce Willis retired in 2022. Initially, his family announced that he would be stepping away from films due to his aphasia diagnosis. Later, in February 2023, they announced that the actor’s condition had deteriorated. This led to him suffering from a type of dementia that particularly affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.

What did Emma Hemming say to Bruce Willis last year?

In August last year, Heming was invited to Good Morning America to talk about Bruce Willis and his general health. While talking about it, she shared that “Bruce is still very mobile. Bruce is generally healthy, you know. It’s just his mind that’s letting him down.” “Language moves, and you know, we learn to adapt,” she added at the time.Hemming has since released a book about her experiences called “An Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path.” In addition, Willis’ family regularly shares updates about the actor’s health and uploads rare photos and videos of him from time to time.
