Emma Heming Willis, the wife of Bruce Willis, initially considered the early symptoms of his dementia as hearing loss he sustained while filming Die Hard. The Pulp Fiction star retired from acting following the diagnosis and has since remained away from public eye. Recently, Emma revealed that Willis has been moved to a one-storey home, where he lives with a full-time care team.<\/p>\n
Emma Heming thought filming Die Hard led to Bruce Willis\u2019 dementia symptoms<\/p>\n
In a new interview with Fox News Digital<\/a>, Emma disclosed that she took early signs of Willis\u2019 dementia as hearing loss he suffered on the sets of the first Die Hard, which came out in 1988. \u201cWhen Bruce was shooting the first Die Hard, he shot a gun underneath a table multiple times, and they didn\u2019t have him wear any kind of ear protection,\u201d the former model explained. \u201cThat took out a huge percentage of his hearing. And over time, for all of us as we age, our hearing starts to go a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n Emma continued, \u201cThat\u2019s what I thought was happening. Maybe we\u2019re having this miscommunication. He is really not hearing me properly. I thought maybe that\u2019s why we weren\u2019t communicating as well as we used to, because of his hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n Emma, 47, recently published The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path, a book about being a caregiver to her husband. She clarified in the book that Willis\u2019 hearing loss \u201cnever posed a real problem\u201d when they were dating. The couple married in 2009 and have two daughters together. Willis, 70, also has three daughters from his previous marriage to actress Demi Moore.<\/p>\n In the book, Emma recalled that Willas had started to \u201ccheck out\u201d during dinners and thought he was just letting his daughters talk to each other without interrupting them. \u201cI assumed his hearing loss made it easier for him to melt into his seat with his hands clasped gently on his lap,\u201d she added. However, Emma ultimately realized that something was wrong and consulted doctors.<\/p>\n The post Bruce Willis\u2019 Wife Thought Die Hard Led to His Dementia Symptoms<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Heming Willis, the wife of Bruce Willis, initially considered the early symptoms of his dementia as hearing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[11247,321,14045,14047,11248,93,14048,14046,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-14670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-bruce-willis","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-dementia-symptoms","11":"tag-die-hard","12":"tag-emma-heming-willis","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-fox-news-digital","15":"tag-hearing-loss","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
