Bruce Willis all smiles as he's seen in rare snaps celebrating Thanksgiving with family

Die Hard icon Bruce Willis celebrated Thanksgiving with his family, with his daughter Tallulah taking to Instagram to share sweet snaps with fans

Bruce Willis was all smiles as he celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with his family.

The 69-year-old Die Hard actor took a step back from the limelight in recent years to focus on his health and his family. The star announced his retirement following his aphasia diagnosis in 2022. A year later, Bruce's family confirmed he had also been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Fans have been kept updated on his health thanks to his wife, Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife Demi Moore, as well as his children. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Tallulah Willis, 30, took to her Instagram page to share a few snaps of her hanging out with her dad and her sister Scout, 33.

In the snap, Bruce looked content as he sat on the sofa with Scout, who had an arm around his shoulder. He smiled at her as he held onto a 'best dad ever' sign. Meanwhile, Tallulah comfortably sat on the floor looking up to her dad as she reached out to playfully tug at his ear.

The second photo showed Scout and Bruce leaning their foreheads on each other as Tallulah gazed lovingly at them both. "Grateful," she captioned the post. Delighted fans took to the comment section to send their well wishes and thank the family for sharing glimpses of iconic actor Bruce.

"Yall rule for sharing glimpses of your amazing father with us.," one user posted while another said: "Happy Thanksgiving, ladies! You are both amazing daughters! I’m sure his heart is full!" One fan commented: "Pure love. Holding your precious family in light and love." and another added: "I LOVE THIS. My dad was diagnosed with dementia last year. It’s such a bittersweet diagnosis. Stay strong."

Bruce's wife Emma, 46, recently revealed it wasn't until his 'language started changing' that the family started realising something was wrong with him. "For Bruce, it started with language. He had a severe stutter as a child," she explained.

"He went to college, and there was a theatre teacher who said, 'I’ve got something that’s going to help you'. From that class, Bruce realised that he could memorise a script and be able to say it without stuttering. That’s what propelled him into acting." She said that he 'always had a stutter' but was 'good at covering it up'.

Emma didn't know that his speech changing was an early sign of a health condition. "As his language started changing, it (seemed like it) was just a part of a stutter, it was just Bruce. Never in a million years would I think it would be a form of dementia for someone so young," she said during a conversation with Town & Country.
