Bruce Willis is expressing his deep gratitude for Los Angeles’ first responders as the city battles intense wildfires. In a rare public appearance, the actor was seen in a black-and-white video shared by his wife, Emma Heming, on Thursday. In the video, Willis is shaking hands with two LAPD officers, thanking them for their service.
“Spotting a first responder, Bruce never missed a chance to show his gratitude with a heartfelt handshake and a ‘thank you for your service,’” Heming wrote in the post’s caption. She also reposted the video on her Instagram Stories, adding a message that read, “To all first responders: Thank you for your service.”
The video touched many, including Willis’ daughter, Tallulah, who commented, “This makes my heart so freaking full.”
This public moment is especially significant as Willis, who was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and later with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), has rarely been seen in public since stepping away from his acting career due to cognitive issues. His family last shared photos of him in November, with Willis holding a plaque reading “Best Dad Ever.”
