Bruce Willis health update saddens fans

Recently, the creator of Bruce Willis’ former show “Moonlighting,” Glenn Gordon Caron, recently gave the New York Post and update on the actor’s situation. “The thing that makes [his disease] so mind-blowing is [that] if you’ve ever spent time with Bruce Willis, there is no one who had any more joie de vivre [joy of living] than he,” Caron said.. “He loved life and … just adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest.”

Caron went on to reveal that his disease has made Willis mostly unable to communicate. In addition, He also admits that Willis doesn’t always recognize him during his visits. “My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am,” he said. “He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce. When you’re with him you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there,” he noted, “but the joie de vivre is gone,” he added.
