A “stable” Bruce Willis was spotted riding in the passenger seat of a car on Saturday.
The “Die Hard” actor was photographed getting some fresh air with the window down while taking a drive in Los Angeles with a security guard amid his battle with aphasia and dementia.
Willis, 69, wore a striped polo shirt with a blue collar and a black cap for the outing.
The sighting comes just days after Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore — with whom he shares daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30 — gave an update on the actor’s condition at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival, where she was honored with the Career Achievement in Acting Award.
“You know, I’ve said this before. The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he’s at, he’s stable,” Moore, 61, said, per People.
“What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at. When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game, but when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness.”
The “Ghost” actress went on to say that she and her family were hoping to “share … whatever we have, for however long we have it” with the actor.
After announcing Willis’ aphasia diagnosis and retirement from acting in March 2022, the family revealed in February 2023 that the actor’s condition had worsened to frontotemporal dementia.
“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know,” the family said in a written statement.
The statement continued: “Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.”
Earlier this month, the “Pulp Fiction” star’s daughter Tallulah gave an update on how she was coping with her dad’s condition in an Instagram post.
“Hey I love this guy so much and feeling feelings is tough stuff, but I’m so grateful to let them flow through me now instead of disconnecting from it!” Tallulah captioned a carousel of photos which included some throwback snaps.
Willis is now married to Emma Hemming, with whom he shares daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10.
