Demi Moore gave an update on the condition of her ex-husband Bruce Willis as the actor battles frontotemporal dementia.
On Friday, the 61-year-old actress appeared on the “Drew Barrymore Show” and the 49-year-old television presenter recalled their time together on the 2003 film “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.” Willis had a small cameo appearance at the beginning of the film.
“When we were filming ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ Bruce came and acted in it, he opens the film. And we got to work with him,” Barrymore recalled.

“I mean, I knew him when he was a bartender at Cafe Central!” she added. “I’ve known him my whole life too. How is he now?”
“Under the circumstances, he is in a stable condition,” Moore replied.

The “Ghost” star and Willis, 69, who were married from 1987 to 2000, have daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Talullah, 30. The two alums have remained close since their divorce. Moore attended Willis’ wedding in 2009 when he married his second wife, Emma Heming Willis, with whom he has daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10.
In 2019, Moore was also there when Willis and Emma renewed their wedding vows on their 10th wedding anniversary.
“When I’m in LA, I go over every week and I really appreciate the time we all spend together.”
Moore also has a close relationship with Emma, and the blended family often celebrates holidays and birthdays together. In 2020, they quarantined together as a family in Idaho during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the conversation with Barrymore, Moore revealed to the daughters what advice she gives them in dealing with their father’s health problems.

“I tell my kids that you have to meet them where they are. You don’t hold on to who they were or what you want from them, but who they are in this moment,” Moore explained. “And there is so much beauty and joy and love and sweetness that comes from that.”

Moore said she tries to spend as much time as possible with Willis and her family.
“When I’m in LA, I go over every week and I really appreciate the time we all spend together,” she said.
In March 2022, the Die Hard star retired from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia. In February 2023, the Willis family announced that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.

In May, Rumer gave an update on Willis’ health in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“He’s doing great. Yes, yes, he’s doing well. Thanks for asking,” Rumer said at the premiere of her new film “My Divorce Party” at the 24th Beverly Hills Film Festival.
“I think the most incredible thing about this experience for me was that my father is so well-loved, and that was so evident in the openness with which we shared everything,” she continued.

“And I think if there’s any way we can provide hope by sharing our experiences – whatever that may be as a family – that can have an impact and provide some kind of hope and comfort to someone else who’s going through this, then to me that’s… everything.”
