Following his aphasia diagnosis, Bruce Willis has spent more time at home with his wife and their two young girls. Aphasia is a brain illness that impairs communication. And on Wednesday, the legendary Hollywood star took a break from an afternoon stroll with wife Emma Heming Willis to land a kiss on her cheek.Emma appears to have been shooting a snapshot of the couple when he surprised her with the lovely gesture, which she captured in an adorable photo and shared on Instagram Stories.
The 67-year-old Die Hard star was dressed in a blue and red checkered button-down shirt and a black baseball cap when he kissed her on the right cheek. ‘I love him too,’ Emma, 44, wrote in the post. Despite her surprise, Emma couldn’t have been happier, judging by the huge smile she exhibited as she snapped the photo.Emma has been updating their family on Instagram since they went public and stated he had been diagnosed with the degenerative brain disorder aphasia, which was ‘impacting his cognitive ability.’ As a result, they stated Bruce would be’stepping aside from the career that has meant so much to him.’
In conclusion, the Instagram statement read: ‘This is a very difficult moment for our family, and we are grateful for your continuous love, sympathy, and support. We are going through this as a strong family unit, and we wanted to include his fans because we know how much he means to you, just as you do to him. The message was attributed to Emma, her daughters Mabel, now 10, and Evelyn, now eight, as well as Bruce’s ex-wife Demi Moore and their daughters Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 28.
One day before they shared their romantic kiss on social media, the trailer for Bruce’s next flick Paradise City (pictured) was released. The action picture, which will be released on November 11, is one of several he worked on before his family revealed that he was retiring from acting due to health issues. In the film, he plays an old bounty hunter who embarks on one of his most difficult missions yet: battling with a vicious criminal lord (John Travolta).
The film appears to be Bruce and John Travolta’s (pictured, 68) first big cooperation in a feature film since their roles in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 crime classic Pulp Fiction. Paradise City also stars Praya Lundberg, Stephen Dorff, Corey Large, Blake Jenner, and Oliver Trevena.
During his career, which dates back to 1980, Bruce starred in such hits as the five films in the Die Hard franchise (1988, 1990, 1995, 2007 and 2013), Look Who’s Talking (1989), Look Who’s Talking Too (1990), Pulp Fiction (1994), 12 Monkeys (1995), The Jackal (1997), Armageddon (1998), The Sixth Sense (1999), The Whole Nine Yards (2000), Sin City (2005), The Expendables 2 (2012), among many others.
