00:11 During a May 29th interview on the Today Show,

00:14 the actor's oldest daughter, Rumor Willis,

00:16 gives an update on Bruce's latest role, being a grandfather.

00:20 Honestly, seeing them with her,

00:23 it just, it almost unlocks all of these childhood memories

00:28 because being a grandparent I think is the best.

00:31 They have all of the love and joy

00:33 without any of the responsibilities.

00:35 (laughing)

00:36 They get to just spoil her.

00:38 Bruce, who shares daughters Rumor, Scout, and Tallulah

00:41 with ex-wife Demi Moore,

00:42 as well as daughters Mabel and Evelyn

00:44 with wife Emma Hemming,

00:45 has plenty of experience raising daughters.

00:48 With Rumor explaining that seeing the diehard actor

00:51 interact with her one-year-old daughter, Luetta,

00:53 reminds her that he truly is the ultimate girl dad.

00:57 - Lue was just starting to walk a little bit

00:59 and she was walking over to him and it was so sweet.

01:02 It's so nice because I feel like my dad is just,

01:06 like he's a girl dad through and through

01:09 and he just, it almost unlocks that

01:13 kind of little kid girl dad thing.

01:16 It was so sweet with her, you know,

01:18 how I saw him with my sisters, my little sisters.

01:21 - So you're seeing that all come back again.

01:23 - In March 2022, the 69-year-old retired from acting.

01:27 After being diagnosed with aphasia,

01:29 which had impaired his verbal communication skills.

01:32 Just a little less than a year later,

01:34 the Golden Globe winners family then shared

01:36 that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

01:40 With Rumor revealing that while it's been tough,

01:42 she's glad her family has been so open

01:44 about her father's health struggles.

01:46 - It really makes me a proud daughter, honestly,

01:49 to just see how much love he's getting.

01:52 And also just that our vulnerability and transparency

01:56 as a family about what he's going through,

01:58 to me is so important because if it can have any impact

02:03 on another family that is struggling in any way

02:06 with something like this or bring more attention

02:08 to the disease in hopes of finding, you know,

02:12 I don't know, a cure or anything that can be of service

02:14 to anybody else, I think is really important.
