When it comes to talking about Bruce Willis, it’s hard for us to find all the right words to thank him for his legacy. But today, we want to take a look at his difficult childhood. Willis does his best to provide his children with the kind of happy, carefree childhood he never had. And what’s most precious is that he’s doing everything for his kids despite the hardships he’s facing now.

He struggled with criticism as a child.

Bruce Willis did not have a happy childhood and experienced criticism and embarrassment because he stuttered. His condition started when he was 6 years old. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he stated, “[I had] no plan, no help, just flailing wildly for a really long time.”

As a result of his stuttering, Willis faced social struggles too. “I had to fight my way out,” he told the outlet. In his speech, as The Hollywood Reporter noted, Willis said to the audience, “My advice to the people in this room is to never let anyone make you feel like an outcast because you will never be an outcast.”

His acting career has taken a blow since he got diagnosed with aphasia.

After his diagnosis of aphasia disorder, Willis’ family announced his retirement, ending a 44-year-long career. His family released a statement on Instagram, stating that they are moving through this as a strong family unit and wanted to bring his fans in because they know how much he means to them, and vice versa. “As Bruce always says, ’Live it up,’ and together, we plan to do just that,” part of the statement read.

He has a blended family.

Willis is the father of 5 children; he and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, to whom he was married from 1987 to 2000, share their 3 eldest daughters. He shares his 2 youngest daughters with Emma Heming, whom he married in 2009. The blended family of the loving father has become very close.

The father of 5 appears to like being outside as well. Heming shared a video of her husband playing basketball in their backyard, as reported by Good Morning America.

Willis spoke honestly about fatherhood in an interview in February 2013 and declared that being a dad is his “favorite job.” The actor confessed that he was never aware that he had an impact on his daughters until they grew older, and said he wanted to prepare them for the world.

Willis lives a quiet life with his family now.

On October 16, 2022, Willis’ wife posted a video on Instagram and captioned it, “We don’t believe in perfection over here but #oursummer2022 was pretty close to it. In fact, it was magic.” The video shows Willis playing and dancing with his kids in the garden, taking a walk with his dear partner, and showing the lovely bond between his kids and their dog.
