Bruce Willis' daughter Rumer calls him her 'inspiration' amid battle with dementia
Rumer Willis, eldest daughter of Die Hard star Bruce Willis, has made a rare comment about her father during health battle. Rumer Willis has publically credited her dad for inspiring her to become an action star amid his heartbreaking battle with dementia. In 2023, Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Two years on and the Die Hard star is now "non-verbal" and requires care 24-hours a day. Back in 2022, the action hero decided to retire from acting after he was diagnosed with language disorder aphasia in March that year. One year later, his family confirmed that his disease had developed into FTD. This form of dementia has a typical life expectancy of six to eight years, however it can also be as low as two years in certain cases, reports the Mirror. Rumer, 36, is the oldest of Bruce's children, who he shares with actress Demi Moore. The couple were married from 1989 to 2000, and they also had two other daughters - Scout, 33 and Tallulah, 31. After their divorce, Bruce went on to marry British model Emma Heming and share two more daughters, Mabel Ray, 12 and Evelyn Penn, 10. Rumer has revealed that she is following in her dad's footsteps as she is making her way in the action genre. Her new movie, Trail of Vengeance, sees her play a disgruntled widow named Katherine Atherton, who is out to get revenge after her husband was murdered. In an interview with People magazine, she said: "My dad is such an action man. My mom's done her fair share [of action] as well." With her movie now in cinemas, Rumer added: "I felt like a little kid when I found out I got [this role]." As Bruce slowly loses his fight with dementia, Rumer makes sure that her two-year-old daughter Louetta spends as much time as she can with her grandad. A source previously said: "Rumer wants to make sure Louetta knows Bruce. "She wants him to be actively involved in Louetta's life. It's a very special bond. Rumer and her sisters love their dad so much. They are very conscious that any day could be his last." Despite the divorce, his ex-wife Demi is also making sure that Bruce and their daughters are looked after. Previously speaking to Variety, Demi said: "We will always be a family, just in a different form." She added: "I've shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely: It's so important for anybody who's dealing with this to really meet them where they're at. And from that place, there is such loving and joy." In a different interview with Town & Country magazine, Demi spoke of her ex-husband's diagnosis. She said: "Finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what fronto-temporal dementia is and I could educate our children. I've never tried to sugarcoat anything for them." She has also spoken out about the best way she has found to take care of the 70-year-old action star: "The important thing is just to meet him where he's at, as opposed to being attached to who he was, how he was. "Because, again, that only just puts you in a place of loss versus being in the present, meeting him where he's at, and finding the joy and the loving of just all that is where he is."

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz ‘hire Harry and Meghan's lawyer' amid family feud after growing close to the Sussexes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROOKLYN Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly hired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyer to help protect their reputations as their family feud escalates. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have grown close to Harry and Meghan - who have also fallen out with David and Victoria Beckham. 5 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have sought the help of a new top lawyer to protect their reputation amid their family feud Credit: Getty 5 Brooklyn and Nicola have grown close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Credit: Getty They've now instructed the Prince's top legal eagle Jenny Afia to help with "reputation management". The British solicitor works for Schillings law firm and was recently seen speaking on The Princes And The Press documentary. A source told the Mail on Sunday: "All of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer. "Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything and they have taken this rather drastic action. "For the Beckhams the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that. "The two couples are very close indeed." Brooklyn and wife Nicola first sparked rumours of a huge rift between them and his parents when they snubbed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year. Billionaire heiress, Nicola has since faced accusations of 'controlling' Brooklyn and is believed to be at the centre of the escalating feud between the Peltz and Beckham families. Budding photographer Brooklyn previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola. Yet with a fresh clash in full swing, experts have told The Sun how the eldest of the Beckham clan has chosen his wife over his mega-famous family. Amid the allegations over her conduct, a source previously said of the Lola star: "She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre." Yet her mates have now taken a stand. One told MirrorOnline: "She is not isolating him [Brooklyn] at all. "He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. "They are each other's family.' 5 Meghan and Harry socialised with Brooklyn and Nicola at their Montecito mansion 5 The couple have reportedly fallen out with his parents Credit: Getty
