Footage of Bruce Willis’ 68th birthday celebration set off alarm bells after fans noticed that the star gave the impression to be missing a tooth within the video.
The touching clip had been posted by the 68-year-old’s ex-wife Demi Moore on Sunday, only a month after it got here out that the “Die Hard” star was affected by dementia.
Within the moving footage, Moore, Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis and his daughters may be heard serenading the motion movie icon with the birthday song, with Willis himself even joining in for several seconds.
The “Sixth Sense” actor then blew out the candles on his cake, prompting the onlookers to cheer “hip hip hooray.”
“Joyful birthday, BW!” Moore, 60, gushed within the caption. “So glad we could have fun you today. Love you and love our family. Thanks everyone for the love and warm wishes – all of us feel them.”
While the b-day soiree actually was touching, many fans couldn’t help but notice that the actor gave the impression to be missing a tooth.
“Does nobody care Bruce is missing a front tooth… What happened there?” wrote one concerned commenter within the comments.
“Bruce is missing a tooth,” said one other.
While many gawkers repeated this query, one viewer told the unique commenter to “mind your personal business.”
Last month, Willis’ announced that the “Tears Of The Sun” actor had frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative disorder attributable to neuron damage within the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.
“FTD is a cruel disease,” they wrote in a joint statement last month. “Today there aren’t any treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change within the years ahead.”
It got here nearly a 12 months after the actor was diagnosed with aphasia, one other brain disorder that forced him to retire from acting early last 12 months, because the brain disorder affects his ability to speak. Willis had reportedly been struggling on set prior to his diagnosis.
The truth is, earlier within the day on Sunday, Emma Heming Willis uploaded a heartbreaking Instagram video, through which she described feeling grief and sadness on her husband’s first birthday for the reason that dementia diagnosis.
“I even have began the morning by crying,” the model explained within the vid, adding that she’s needed to put her “big girl panties” on and stay strong for her two kids.
“The silver lining or the flip side is that I’m so lucky to feel your warmth and love that’s directed to my husband and our family,” she added within the caption. “I see your messages, your stories that you simply share, and all I can say is thanks.”
Heming later posted a video montage of her husband with the caption: “He’s pure love. He’s so loved. And I’ll be loving him all the time. Joyful Birthday my sweet.”
Willis has been married to Heming since 2009 and so they have two young kids, Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8.
He was previously married to Demi Moore from 1987 to 2000, and had three adult daughters Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah Willis, 29.
