Hollywood legend Bruce Willis' former Moonlighting co-star Cybill Shepherd has opened up about his ongoing battle with dementia, sharing a heartbreaking update on his condition.
The 73-year-old actress, who starred alongside Willis in the hit 1980s detective comedy, revealed she recently visited the Die Hard icon and was deeply affected by seeing his health deterioration.
Emotional Reunion With Former Co-Star
"It's hard to see him now," Shepherd confessed during an appearance on Good Morning Britain. "We had such chemistry working together on Moonlighting, and to see that vibrant energy dimmed is profoundly sad."
The Emmy-winning actress described Willis as "still sweet and kind" but noted how the disease has dramatically changed the actor fans knew and loved.
Moonlighting Magic Remembered
Shepherd fondly recalled their on-screen chemistry that made Moonlighting a global phenomenon: "We just clicked immediately. Bruce had this incredible comedic timing and raw charisma that made every scene electric."
The show, which ran from 1985-1989, catapulted Willis to stardom and showcased his versatility before he became an action movie icon.
Family's Ongoing Support
Willis' family, including ex-wife Demi Moore and current wife Emma Heming, have been vocal about supporting him through his health battle since his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis was announced in February 2023.
Shepherd praised the family's devotion: "They're surrounding him with love, which is what he needs most right now."
The emotional update comes as Hollywood continues to rally around Willis, with former co-stars and fans sharing their support for the beloved actor.
