MADAME FIGARO : Ce 26 août l’épouse de Bruce Willis s’est confiée dans l’émission Emma and Bruce : The Unexpected Journey, animé par Diane Sawyer sur la maladie de l’acteur qui la contrainte à choisir un nouveau foyer plus adapté à sa situation.
Derrière chaque grand homme se trouve une femme forte. Bruce Willis peut aujourd’hui compter sur le soutien précieux de son épouse Emma Heming dans ces moments difficiles. En février 2023, la famille du célèbre acteur et producteur américain avait révélé qu’il souffrait de dégénérescence lobaire fronto-temporale, une maladie neurodégénérative incurable qui affecte les capacités cognitives. Depuis, l’état de santé de l’acteur s’est progressivement dégradé. Ce 26 août, Emma Heming s’est confiée dans l’émission Emma and Bruce: The Unexpected Journey, animée par Diane Sawyer, sur la situation actuelle de son mari et père de leurs deux filles, Mabel (13 ans) et Evelyn (11 ans), ainsi que de Rumer, Scout et Tallulah Willis, issues de son précédent mariage avec Demi Moore. «Il est en très bonne santé dans l’ensemble… mais son cerveau le lâche», a-t-elle expliqué avec émotion. Face à cette réalité, Emma Heming a pris la difficile décision d’installer son mari dans une maison spécialisée, mieux adaptée à ses besoins médicaux, tout en restant proche de leur domicile familial, ce qui lui permet de dîner et déjeuner avec l’acteur. » | Par Maelys Decourt | jeudi 28 août 2025

Bruce Willis’ Dementia Diagnosis: ‘Language Is Going’, Says Actor’s Wife
THE GUARDIAN: Emma Heming Willis recalls the actor’s ‘alarming and scary’ early symptoms and says his family has ‘learned to adapt’ as his brain ‘is failing’ amid ‘really great health overall’
Bruce Willis’s brain is “failing him” and his “language is going”, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, has revealed, more than two years since the actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
“Bruce is still very mobile. Bruce is in really great health overall, you know,” Heming Willis told Diane Sawyer in an ABC special on Tuesday. “It’s just his brain that is failing him. The language is going. We’ve learned to adapt and we have a way of communicating with him, which is just a different way.”
In 2022, Willis’s family announced that the Die Hard and Sixth Sense movie star would be retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia – a brain disorder that leads to difficulty with language or speech. » | Michael Sun | Wednesday, August 27, 2025

Fran Drescher’s Fiery Speech against Hollywood Studios Goes Viral as Actors Strike
Jul 14, 2023 | The Nanny star blasts Hollywood studios after talks between the actors’ union and studios fail to avert a strike, calling them 'disgusting' for claiming they’re losing money while 'giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs'.
Fran Drescher is president of Hollywood's biggest union, Sag-Aftra. About 160,000 of its members are joining the Writers Guild of America in a strike, marking the biggest shutdown of Hollywood since both unions last went on strike together in 1960.
The unions are fighting for better terms with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents major studios and streamers, including Amazon, Apple, Disney, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony and Warner Bros Discovery
