UK:Bruce Willis has 'sweetness' as he lives with dementia

Rumer Willis says her father Bruce Willis has developed a "sweetness" amid his battle with dementia.

The Die Hard actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023 following an earlier aphasia diagnosis in 2022.

And his eldest daughter with ex-wife Demi Moore has seen her father go from the "macho" man seen in Hollywood to a much gentler person.

Speaking on The Inside Edit podcast, she said: "I'm so grateful I get to go see him.
