Bruce Willis has been spotted smiling and seeming perky in a rare public appearance.
The Die Hard actor, 69, was seen beaming with smiles as he headed out for a Sunday drive with another person on Sunday (October 27). Sitting in the passenger seat of the black car, Bruce was dressed in an LA Dodgers mesh cap, as he celebrated his teams win in the World Series.
To add to his overall look, he also wore a black zip-up hoodie and a white T-shirt as he hit the sun-kissed highways of Los Angeles. Fans remarked how the star had seemed positive and happy, walking with a spring in his step as he headed out for some much-needed fresh air.

The star, who has played major roles in the likes of The Sixth Sense and Death Becomes Her has been rarely seen in public after he was diagnosed with dementia and aphasia, a neurological condition which gradually leaves the patient unable to form language. Since his diagnosis, Bruce has stayed out of the limelight, choosing instead to focus on his family.
Bruce is a loving dad to five daughters, two of which - Mabel Ray, 12, and Evelyn, 10 - are shared with Bruce's current wife and rock Emma Heming Willis. His other three children - Rumer, 36; Scout, 33; and Tallulah, 30 - are shared with ex-wife and The Substance star Demi Moore, 61.
Emma has recently been seen sharing snaps of her and her beau as they look to enjoy their lives together before the disease gets too far progressed. She uploaded a retro pic of her and her partner, penning as the caption: "Doing selfies before they had a name."
Demi, whom remains in close contact with Emma and Bruce, gave fans a much-needed update on how the actor is doing following his diagnosis. Speaking on Drew Barrymore's chat show, Demi said that Bruce "is in a stable place" given the circumstances.
She also explained how his children are having to adapt to the new normal. "What I say to my kids is you meet them where they're at - you don't hold on to who they were or what you want them to be, but who they are in this moment," she confessed.
"And from that, there is such beauty and joy and loving and sweetness," Demi added. "When I'm in LA, I go over every week, and I really treasure the time that we all share."
His children have been keen to share how proud of him they are, with Rumer shared a snap of her holding her father's hand while he battles his health issues. Responding to the question, she beamed: "He is great, I love him so much, thank you."
Bruce was diagnosed with both dementia and aphasia in March of 2022, with Emma and Demi releasing a joint statement, confirming Bruce would be leaving the acting business behind. They said of the Hollywood icon: "This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support."
