A rare video of Bruce Willis has been released.

The legendary Die Hard star was captured in a heartwarming clip giving his daughter Scout a loving hug, which she later shared with her followers on social media. At 69 years old, Willis has been battling frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a condition that has progressively impaired his ability to communicate as confirmed by his family.

They've been keeping the public informed about his health since March 2022 when they revealed his aphasia diagnosis, a communication disorder. Last year, his daughter Rumer disclosed that Bruce had received a "more specific" FTD diagnosis.
