00:00 Being a grandparent I think is the best.
00:02 They have all of the love and joy
00:04 without any of the responsibilities.
00:06 (laughing)
00:07 They get to just spoil her.
00:08 Bruce Willis loves being a grandpa.
00:11 During a May 29th interview on the Today Show,
00:14 the actor's oldest daughter, Rumor Willis,
00:16 gives an update on Bruce's latest role, being a grandfather.
00:20 Honestly, seeing them with her,
00:23 it just, it almost unlocks all of these childhood memories
00:28 because being a grandparent I think is the best.
00:31 They have all of the love and joy
00:33 without any of the responsibilities.
00:35 (laughing)
00:36 They get to just spoil her.
00:38 Bruce, who shares daughters Rumor, Scout, and Tallulah
00:41 with ex-wife Demi Moore,
00:42 as well as daughters Mabel and Evelyn
00:44 with wife Emma Hemming,
00:45 has plenty of experience raising daughters.
00:48 With Rumor explaining that seeing the diehard actor
00:51 interact with her one-year-old daughter, Luetta,
00:53 reminds her that he truly is the ultimate girl dad.
00:57 - Lue was just starting to walk a little bit
00:59 and she was walking over to him and it was so sweet.
01:02 It's so nice because I feel like my dad is just,
01:06 like he's a girl dad through and through
01:09 and he just, it almost unlocks that
01:13 kind of little kid girl dad thing.
01:16 It was so sweet with her, you know,
01:18 how I saw him with my sisters, my little sisters.
01:21 - So you're seeing that all come back again.
01:23 - In March 2022, the 69-year-old retired from acting.
01:27 After being diagnosed with aphasia,
01:29 which had impaired his verbal communication skills.
01:32 Just a little less than a year later,
01:34 the Golden Globe winners family then shared
01:36 that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
01:40 With Rumor revealing that while it's been tough,
01:42 she's glad her family has been so open
01:44 about her father's health struggles.
01:46 - It really makes me a proud daughter, honestly,
01:49 to just see how much love he's getting.
01:52 And also just that our vulnerability and transparency
01:56 as a family about what he's going through,
01:58 to me is so important because if it can have any impact
02:03 on another family that is struggling in any way
02:06 with something like this or bring more attention
02:08 to the disease in hopes of finding, you know,
02:12 I don't know, a cure or anything that can be of service
02:14 to anybody else, I think is really important.
