Bruce Willis looks fit and healthy while out to breakfast with friend… amid aphasia brain disorder


Bruce Willis is keeping busy and active in the wake of his aphasia diagnosis, which is a brain disorder that affects the ability to effectively communicate.

On Saturday, the longtime Hollywood leading man stepped out for an errand run, and along the way he and a friend made a pitstop for breakfast at a restaurant in the Santa Monica neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Looking as fit as he has in recent years, the Die Hard star kept it casual-cool in the fashion department in gray slacks, a white short-sleeve, button-down shirt and blue sneakers.

With the sun glaring down and the temperature topping neat 100 degrees Fahrenheit more inland, the action hero superstar got a little relief by heading close to the shoreline, where it was more than 10 degrees cooler.

To help stave off the sun, Willis added a baseball cap to his ensemble while making the rounds around town.

The retired actor, 67,  and his pal, then made their way to a restaurant for some morning chow.

While sitting at an outdoor patio table, the Pulp Fiction star flashed his trademark smile and grin while chatting and laughing together.

Willis was also seen out and about the previous day dressed casually in a pale blue shirt and light wash jeans.

He also tucked a sporty pair of sunglasses into the collar of his shirt while wearing a pair of white Nike sneakers.  

On this day, the former Moonlighting had a shadow of a white beard and some hair on his typically bald head growing in, all while wearing his wedding band on his ring finger from his 13 year marriage to wife Emily Heming Willis, 44.

Diagnosed with the brain disorder diagnosis in March, which affects his speech and writing, Willis was forced into premature retirement.

As a result, he and his wife have been spending a lot more time together around the house.

Earlier this week, she revealed that she had been struggling with coping with her husband’s health struggles in a Instagram post on National Grief Awareness Day, which prompted criticism from trolls.

In it she credited discovering new hobbies, doing things out of her comfort zone and staying active with helping her get through her anguish. 

Later she captioned a snapshot of messages left from online critics, ‘When you’re not allowed to talk grief, self-care, or being human in the world on grief awareness day,’ as one person suggested she would ‘cope just fine with his $$.’

In the initial upload she shared the  words of wisdom she received from step-daughter Scout Willis, 31, who explained that grief ‘is the deepest and purest form of love.’

‘My grief can be paralyzing but I’m learning how to live alongside it,’ Emma – who has been married to Bruce since 2009 – added.

She also added three hashtags: ‘#nationalgriefawarenessday #griefawareness #liveitup.’

The video montage showed Emma being active as she completed various tasks, including painting, gardening and operating an electric saw.

She also stayed active by playing tennis and doing a guided boxing routine.

At another point in the video she was seen spending time with one of her and Bruce’s daughters. The couple share Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, eight.

In addition to his two younger daughters and Scout, the actor is also father to daughters Rumer, 33, and Tallulah, 28, whom he shares with his ex-wife Demi Moore, 59.
