It’s over 30 years since Bruce took part in arguably his most popular project to date, 1988’s Die Hard – and before his diagnosis led him to step away from acting, he reunited with one of his castmates.
De’voreaux White played Bruce’s limousine driver Argyle in the blockbuster, and the pair reunited for an Auto Parts advert in 2019, two years before Bruce’s family announced he would no longer be acting due to the symptoms of his aphasia.
Recalling the ‘awesome’ experience, De’voreaux revealed he was on the set when Bruce tapped him on the shoulder.
‘And I said, “Where the f**k have you been? I could have been dead by now!
‘We both looked at each other. And then he just put his hand over his mouth, and he bit down.
‘Oh, I just started laughing,’ De’voreaux told the .
‘And we hugged and everything. And that’s what occurred. The experience was awesome. Oh, it was awesome.’
He said Bruce had helped him become an actor, describing the ‘compassion and respect’ he still holds in his heart for the actor.
Speaking to Bruce directly, he added: ‘I’m honoured to have had the pleasure of meeting you and working with you and having a relationship with you on so many levels. And now, I’m crying.’
The Willis family have had a tough few years, first revealing Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia, which causes difficulty with speech, language and comprehension.
In February, they posted a lengthy joint statement, confirming that he had since been diagnosed with FTD.
Frontotemporal dementia is an ‘uncommon’ form of the disease that causes the sufferer problems with behavior and language – there are currently no treatments for the condition.
The star is currently being cared for at home by wife Emma, who he shares two daughters with: Mabel, 11, and nine-year-old Evelyn.
He also has older children Rumer, 35, Scout, 32 and Tallulah, 29, with ex-wife Demi Moore.
Rumer recently became a mother for the first time, welcoming daughter Louetta, Bruce’s first grandchild.
And in November, Rumer shared a heartwrenching post with a photograph of Bruce holding her as a baby.
‘Really missing my papa today,’ she captioned the sweet post.
Her sister Tallulah recently appeared on the Drew Barrymore Show where she was asked for an update on how Bruce is coping.
Discussing how his health is now, Tallulah said: ‘He is the same, which I think in this regard I’ve learned is the best thing you can ask for.
‘I see love when I’m with him. It’s my dad and he loves me, which is really special.’
