She also revealed the scary “first signs” she spotted in her 70-year-old acting icon husband.
Bruce’s doting wife Emma opened up to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America today, speaking about seeing flashes of Bruce’s “warm” personality despite his dementia.
She explained how she still has “moments” where his charismatic personality shines through.
Emma opened up about his “hearty laugh” and “twinkle in his eye” as he battles his frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis.
Speaking to Diane in the interview, Emma emotionally said: “It’s his laugh, right? He has such a hearty laugh.
“And sometimes you’ll see that twinkle in his eye, or that smirk. I just get transported.”
Tearing up and choking them back as she spoke, Emma went on, “And it’s just hard to see, because as quickly as those moments appear, then it goes.”
As she said the last word, she snapped her fingers to demonstrate how fast those moments vanish.
Emma, who is now an activist for dementia, then went on to recall how she realized something was different in her husband ahead of his diagnosis.
She said, “For someone who was very talkative and very engaged, he was just a little more quiet”.
In March 2022, it was tragically revealed that Bruce had been diagnosed with aphasia.
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects the ability to communicate.
Because of this diagnosis, Bruce retired from acting, with the world left in shock and his fans left devastated.
One year after his diagnosis of aphasia was revealed, Emma then revealed his dementia diagnosis.
