Bruce Willis shows playful side in video shared by wife Emma for milestone birthday

Bruce Willis showed off his silly side in a throwback video posted by wife Emma as she marked her 50th birthday.

Footage shared by Emma on Thursday (18 June) shows the Die Hard actor singing “Happy Birthday” to his wife after inhaling helium from a balloon.

Sharing the clip, Emma reflected on her 40s as she enters a new decade. “I'm proud of how far I've come as a wife, mom, care partner, and advocate. I'm also proud of the work we're doing through the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund and what lies ahead."

The 71-year-old actor's family announced in 2023 that he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a year after they said he was “stepping away” from his job because he had aphasia.
