Bruce Willis has ‘impromptu jam session’ amid aphasia diagnosis

Bruce Willis won’t let his aphasia diagnosis bring him down.

The 67-year-old actor played harmonica along with musician Derek Richard Thomas in an Instagram video that his wife Emma Heming Willis posted Monday.

In the black and white video, Bruce wore a checked shirt as he sat at the bottom of the stairs while his friend sang and played the guitar.

Emma, ​​44, described the moment as an “impromptu jam session” between the two music lovers, adding: “Their talent speaks for itself.”

Bruce appeared to be in a good mood in the video, which was filmed nearly five months after he was diagnosed with aphasia.

In March, Emma — along with Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore, and their children Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 28 — revealed that the “Die Hard” actor quit acting after being diagnosed.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the disease affects people’s ability to communicate, including a person’s ability to speak, write and understand both verbal and written language.

Since then, Emma has been candid on social media about her husband’s “trust” amid his health concerns.

“My motto is: don’t let fear hold you back. Why? Because fear is constantly holding me back “Which is another reason I fell for my husband has never held him back,” she wrote on Instagram in June, alongside a video of Bruce singing with The Temptations in 1987.

Though the Emmy-winning actor gave up on his big screen days, it seems he’s fallen back into his love of music.

Bruce had a brief stint in the music industry from 1987 to 1989 when he released two albums, “The Return of Bruno” and “If It Don’t Kill You, It Just Makes You Stronger.”
