Many of Glenn Gordon Caron’s old communication methods with his pal Bruce Willis are no longer available. Willis, on the other hand, is relieved that his show “Moonlighting” is now available to view.”I know he’s really happy that the show is going to be available for people,” he said.
“Moonlighting,” a popular romantic comedy series starring Willis and Cybil Shepherd as private detectives, is now available on Hulu.”The process (to get ‘Moonlighting’ onto Hulu) has taken quite a while and Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now, about hoping to get the show back in front of people,” Caron told The Hollywood Reporter. “I know it means a lot to him.”
Willis announced last year that he would be leaving his employment due to health issues. Doctors have since diagnosed him with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a progressive brain condition. According to a friend, the fact that there was “no one who had any more joie de vivre than” Willis was part of the tragedy of his condition.
“He’s not quite verbal. He used to read a lot, but he didn’t want others to know, so he stopped reading.” “He could no longer use all of those language skills, but he’s still Bruce,” Caron went on to say. “When you’re with him you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there, but the joie de vivre is gone.”
