If he feels okay... if there's anything that we could do to support him better. I would really love to know that," she said.

Bruce Willis' Quietness Was One Of The First Hints That Something Was Wrong
Reflecting on the early signs of the disease, Emma explained that changes in his communication were among the first indications that something was wrong.
"For someone who was very talkative and very engaged, he was just a little more quiet, and when the family would get together, he would kind of just melt a little bit," she recalled. She added that she noticed the Sixth Sense star "felt a little removed, very cold, not like Bruce, who is very warm and affectionate, to going the complete opposite of that was alarming and scary."
