LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bruce Willis has been in the news lately, mainly due to his health struggles. In February, his family confirmed he has frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). March 19 was the ‘Detective Knight: Independence’ actor’s 68th birthday and his ex-wife Demi Moore took to Instagram to share glimpses from the celebration.
The 60-year-old actress noted in the caption of the short video, “Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family. Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes — we all feel them.” The video showed Bruce Willis happy and cheerful as he conversed with family and guests, and joined them to sing happy birthday. Besides, the ‘Die Hard’ star blew out his birthday candles in a style that made people burst out with laughter. However, amid the merriment, some admirers found a cause for concern - the star appeared to be missing a tooth.

He had a stroke 10 years ago and then woke up from a coma and declared blind due to the stroke. Just Gotta be strong as it’s so hard if you love your dad nothing can stop you all my love and hugs from London be brave XXX,” a comment read. “Happy Birthday beautiful Bruce!!!🎂🎉 Thanks for all the great movies over the years.

Did Bruce Willis lose a tooth?
Among his well-wishers, there were a few who noticed the ‘Glass’ actor was apparently missing a tooth, The Sun reported. A comment posted below Moore’s video said, “Does no one care Bruce is missing a front tooth… What happened there?” A second concerned fan noted, “My heart doesn’t want to accept the extent of his illness. When I saw everyone be so happy about him blowing out his candles, I realized that this was a surprise to them, and clearly his condition has deteriorated. It’s like I knew, but I didn’t want to know. Bruce always reminded me so much of my own dad for some reason. This disease flipping sucks!”
‘I’m lucky to feel your warmth’
The veteran’s family has not yet commented on the fans’ concern but on the special day, Willis’ current wife Emma Heming Willis released a message on her Instagram page. The 44-year-old said, “Today is one of those days of feeling grief and sadness. But the silver lining or the flip side is that I’m so lucky to feel your warmth and love that is directed to my husband and our family.”
“I see your messages, your stories that you share, and all I can say is thank you. Your connection helps me and I hope it helps you in a small way to know that I see you and I deeply understand your journey as well💞,” she added.
