Willis was diagnosed with FTD in March 2022, but his family waited until 2023 to publicly announce the diagnosis. Tallulah told the publisher that her father is “doing the same thing with the recent updates, which I think is good,” she reported. “But whatever day it is, my family and I will meet him where he is.”

For a while during Bruce's battle with FTD, she realized it was important to “go in” and was open to what the visit was, and knowing that before I enter I am solid. I'm fine,” he explained. “I've done what I need to do to make sure I can just be present.”
