Demi Moore has shared an update on her ex-husband Bruce Willis' health following his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in 2023.
The Substance actress, 61, appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show on Friday, and while there is no change in the retired actor's diagnosis, she remained positive about his current condition.
Drew spoke to Demi about Bruce's cameo on the 2003 movie Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle – which Drew and Demi both starred in – telling her: "When we did Charlie's Angels, Bruce came and played on it, and he opens up the film. And we got to work with him.
"I mean, I used to know him when he was a bartender at Cafe Central! I've known him my whole life, too," she added, before asking: "How is he right now?"
Demi replied: "Given the givens, he's in a stable place,"
Reiterating the advice she gives their three daughters, Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, Demi said: "What I say to my kids is you meet them where they're at.

Demi also shared that she spends as much time as possible with her ex-husband. "When I'm in L.A., I go over every week and I really treasure the time that we all share," she said.

The family announced in March 2022 that Bruce would be stepping away from acting after he was diagnosed with aphasia. In February 2023, they revealed that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.

"It's the same which in this situation is a good thing," she said. "Our visits have so much love and I feel that, that overarches anything for me, it's being able to have that connection."

"It's a hard thing for anyone going through this, but it has really created an opportunity for more love for my family."
In May, eldest daughter Rumer also spoke of her father's condition, telling Fox News Digital: "He's great. Yeah, yeah, doing OK. Thank you so much for asking."

"And I think if there's any way sharing our experience brings hope – whatever comes forward as a family – that can have an effect and bring any sort of hope, comfort to someone else experiencing that, then to me, that's … everything."
