Bruce Willis’ wife begs paparazzi not to yell at him in the street

Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, has called on paparazzi to keep their distance and stop yelling at the Die Hard star when they see him in public.

Heming Willis made an emotional plea in a video shared on her Instagram page, saying "there's still a lot of education that needs to be put forth" about people living with dementia.

Recounting a recent incident in which photographers attempted to speak to the ailing actor as he made a rare public appearance to meet friends for coffee in Santa Monica, the 44-year-old model noted how "difficult and stressful it can be to get someone out into the world and to navigate them safely."

Her request comes weeks after Willis’ family announced that his speaking disorder, aphasia, had progressed into a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia, or FTD.
