Bruce Willis was born on an Army base in what was then West Germany but moved to Carney’s Point, New Jersey, at age 2 when his dad completed his service. He grew up around blue-collar people and attended Penns Grove High School. He lived with a stutter and joined theater, where he found his speech impediment could be controlled.

The family of Bruce Willis isn’t sure how much time they have with the legendary actor. According to InTouch Weekly, the New Jersey native’s battle with frontotemporal dementia has worsened.

Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which can cause communication difficulties, in February 2023 at age 67.

The youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore shared how her father’s condition has motivated her to live “in the moment.”

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Tallulah Willis opened up on the TODAY show about her dad's battle with frontotemporal dementia.

But despite doing her best to heed her mom actress Demi Moore’s advice to stay in the present, Tallulah admitted previously that she wishes she had more time with her father.
