Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, took to social media over the weekend to clear the air about recent reports of the actor’s declining health.
“To Whom It May Concern: If you ever come across a story that begins with “sources close to the family say…,” do yourself a favor and stop reading,” Heming Willis posted on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, per Men’s Journal.
“And to any outlet that runs with those kinds of stories, do better. Giving a platform to anonymous speculation is not only careless, it’s harmful. Onward.”
The statement comes after reports the “Die Hard” actor is no longer able to speak or walk. The reports had not been confirmed by his family in recent months.
In 2023, Willis, now 70, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. The condition affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and can affect a person’s personality, behavior and language, as described by the Mayo Clinic.
