00:00 Bruce Willis is feeling the love on his birthday.
00:03 The diehard actor celebrated his 69th birthday on March 19th, and his wife, Emma Hemming
00:09 Willis, took to her Instagram to share a throwback picture of Bruce appearing to hold one of
00:14 their two daughters, 9-year-old Evelyn or 11-year-old Mabel, as a baby.
00:20 Just like you, we simply adore him.
00:22 What you might not know, but maybe you could imagine, that being wrapped in his arms is
00:26 the safest place in this whole wide world.
00:29 He's a true gentleman, with so much love to give and share.
00:32 That's what I get to see, his true core.
00:36 I can tell you it's so pure and ever so good.
00:39 Happy birthday my love, you are the gift that keeps giving.
00:42 The Coco Bhabha founder penned in the caption.
00:45 Bruce's 30-year-old daughter Tallulah, who he shares with ex Demi Moore, commented on
00:50 the sweet post.
00:51 I love you so much.
00:53 I love him so much.
00:54 Our Pisces King.
00:56 The Sixth Sense star's eldest daughter, rumor Willis, also took to her Instagram to share
01:01 a sweet tribute.
01:02 Penning, "Oh daddy-o, to be loved by you is such a gift.
01:06 You are the funniest, most tender, charming, out of this world, silly, talented and magical
01:11 papa.
01:12 Looking through these photos this morning, I am just filled with the deepest gratitude
01:16 that we chose to spend this life together.
01:18 I am your first baby and man, sometimes I wish I could be tiny enough to just cozy up
01:23 on your chest again and laugh and cuddle you.
01:26 I love you so deep in my bones, I don't know how my muscles hold them.
01:29 You are the greatest papa I could ever hope for.
01:32 Thank you for your generosity, your silliness and heart.
01:35 Lou loves you so big.
01:37 Happy birthday daddy-o."
01:38 Last year, on his 68th birthday, Demi, who Bruce has remained close with since their
01:44 2000 divorce, shared an adorable video to her Instagram of their blended family, including
01:49 the former couple's other two daughters, Brumer and Scout, singing "Happy Birthday."
01:56 "Happy birthday to you.
02:03 Happy birthday dear daddy-o.
02:10 Happy birthday to you.
02:17 Happy birthday to you.
02:24 Happy birthday to you.
02:31 Happy birthday to you.
02:37 Happy birthday to you.
02:43 Happy birthday to you.
02:49 Happy birthday to you."
02:52 This is the former actor's second trip around the sun, since his family announced he had
02:56 been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which can affect movement, speech, and executive
03:03 functioning.
03:04 Emma loves using her social media to spread awareness about Bruce's condition, and she's
03:08 been extremely open about being his caregiving partner, noting back in August how she tried
03:13 to prioritize her own needs with so much going on in her life.
03:17 "Hi, so I finished my hike and your pictures are making me so happy.
03:23 So why am I asking you to do that?
03:24 I'm asking care partners to send me photos because I just think it's so important for
03:30 us to sort of break up our thinking, which can feel for me very much like doom and gloom.
03:37 So I know it looks like I'm out living my best life.
03:41 I have to make a conscious effort every single day to live the best life that I can.
03:49 I do that for myself.
03:51 I do that for our two children and Bruce, who would not want me to live any other way.
03:59 So I don't want it to be misconstrued that, like, I'm good, because I'm not.
04:08 I'm not good.
04:10 But I have to put my best foot forward for the sake of myself and my family, because,
04:17 again, when we are not looking after ourselves, we cannot look after anyone that we love.
04:25 So it's really important.
04:26 And like I said, this is a conscious effort.
04:28 It does not come to me easily.
04:31 But I am just doing the best that I can always.
04:37 So your pictures are making me happy.
04:39 I just want you to take a moment out of your day.
04:45 And I know that your day is stressful.
04:47 And I know that your day is hard.
04:49 But I just want you just to break it up for a minute, just for a second, and just look
04:53 for something beautiful.
