“I mean, I knew him when he was a bartender at… Cafe Central,” she continued, as Moore simultaneously shouted out the name of the New York City spot.

“I’ve known him my whole life too… how is he doing now?” Barrymore then asked, before Moore, who was married to the actor from 1987 to 2000, revealed that “given the circumstances, he’s in a stable situation.”

She then explained her and her family’s approach to Bruce, 69, who was diagnosed with aphasia and later frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

“What I tell my kids is you meet them where they are. You don’t hold on to who they were or what you want them to be, you hold on to who they are in this moment,” said the actress.

“And there’s so much beauty and joy and love and sweetness in that,” Moore added. “When I’m in L.A., I go there every week and I really cherish the time that we all share.”

In March 2022, the Willis family announced that the actor was taking a step back from his decades-long career following his aphasia diagnosis.

Nearly a year later, in February 2023, his wife Emma Heming Willis announced that his condition had worsened to a “more specific diagnosis” of FTD.

Bruce’s daughters, Rumer Willis, Scout Willis and Tallulah Willis, whom he shares with Moore, and Mabel Willis and Evelyn Willis, whom he shares with Emma, ​​have since shared several updates on his health online and during public appearances.

During her own appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show Last November, Tallulah, 30, told host Barrymore that Bruce “is the same, and I think I’ve learned in that regard that’s the best you can ask for.”

“I see love when I’m with him, and he’s my dad and he loves me, which is really special,” she added at the time.
