The “Substance” actress, 61, said that the “Die Hard” actor, 69, is “stable” amid his frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis during a live discussion at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival on Sunday.
“You know, I’ve said this before. The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is,” Moore told HIFF Advisory Board member Alina Cho during a live discussion. “But for where he’s at, he is stable.”
“What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at,” Moore continued. “When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game. But when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness.”
She visited Willis “two days ago” with Rumer’s toddler daughter, Louetta. “And being able to share with whatever we have, for however long we have it,” Moore added.
Last month, the actress revealed on “The Drew Barrymore Show” that “given the givens, [Bruce] is in a stable place.”
Tallulah also shared an update on her father’s condition during a September appearance on Today, after Hoda Kotb mentioned Tallulah’s touching first-person piece for Vogue in 2023.
“I have hopes for my father that I’m so reluctant to let go of,” the “Bandits” actress wrote in the personal essay. “I’ve always recognized elements of his personality in me, and I just know that we’d be such good friends if only there were more time.”
Kotb admitted the sentiment touched her before inquiring about how the Hollywood star is doing amid his health battle.
“He’s stable which, in this situation, is good,” Tallulah shared. “It’s hard. There’s painful days but there’s so much love. And it’s really shown me to not take any moment for granted and I really do think that we’d be best friends. I think he’s very proud of me.”
Willis’ family, including wife Emma Heming Willis, announced his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, which can cause communication difficulties, in February 2023.
Earlier this month, Tallulah took to Instagram to share a series of throwback snaps with Willis.
“Hey I love this guy so much and feeling feelings is tough stuff, but I’m so grateful to let them flow through me now instead of disconnecting from it! From the forever archives,” she captioned the sweet images of the father-daughter duo.
