In Four Rooms, Quentin Tarantino starred and directed a segment and asked his friend Bruce Willis to appear uncredited.

While Willis does not appear in Tarantino's portion of the Grindhouse double-feature, [Death Proof](https://collider.com/tag/death-proof/), Tarantino did produce the double-feature. The last official collaboration between Willis and Tarantino was the 2007 double-feature combo movie, [Grindhouse](https://collider.com/tag/grindhouse/), their combined [ode to low-budget grindhouse cinema](http://collider.com/grindhouse-15-years-later-death-proof-planet-terror/).

Chester is the main center of attention in the segment as he rants and raves to Ted. Apparently, Willis wanted to portray the role of Vincent Vega, [but Tarantino had already promised that role to John Travolta](http://collider.com/john-travolta-pulp-fiction/). There are quite a few memorable appearances by notable talents throughout Four Rooms, such as [Madonna](https://collider.com/tag/madonna/) in "The Secret Ingredient" and [Antonio Banderas](https://collider.com/tag/antonio-banderas/) in "The Misbehavors," but Bruce Willis was probably the biggest star to appear in the film.

To this casual observer, Bruce Willis was an almost invincible force, vigorous, vital, one of the "immortals. What's especially tragic for performers like Willis is the loss of the verbal fluency required for delivering one's lines. We tend to characterize dementia as the erosion of memory, but FTD is more characterized by the loss of control over emotions and other cognitive functions.

Bruce Willis was successful in leaving a great impression, as Emma Heming expressed that she was mesmerized by his charm on their first date.

After expressing her love through a heartfelt message on Bruce Willis’ birthday, Heming opened up about the hardships of taking care of her partner, who is currently suffering from frontotemporal dementia. That was my first thought of you.” Following his charming personality and extremely good looks, The Sixth Sense actor was able to leave a long-lasting impression on Emma Heming during their initial interaction.

The sweet video showed the Willis clan celebrating the actor's first birthday since announcing his shock dementia diagnosis.

It’s love, it’s grief, it’s sadness, it’s joy - it’s human and it’s OK”. Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes — we all feel them,” Moore wrote in her caption. “It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us. “He is pure love. “And for those of you who have been fortunate enough to not have any personal experience with FTD, we hope that you will take the time to learn about it, and support AFTD’s mission in whatever way you can.” “So, I’m going to take my five minutes and I’m going to turn it into 10 because I’m always going to advocate for my husband.” He is so loved. Love you and love our family. The model says raising awareness for dementia has become her “mission” and she will continue to advocate for her husband’s welfare. Heming Willis added she was “also raising two kids in this, so sometimes in our lives we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it” - a reference to her two children with Willis. She said she believed it was important for viewers “to see all sides” of the family’s struggle. Also to post was Heming Willis who began one of her Instagram videos by sharing that on Willis’ 68th birthday she “started the morning by crying, as you can see by my puffy eyes and swollen nose”.

Last year, the family of Bruce Willis announced he'd been diagnosed with aphasia, which is the loss of the ability to understand or express language.

Roubleau said intensive speech therapy can help someone with the language or aphasia variant retain language for a longer amount of time. "It also affects the temporal lobes. "So, you’ll see less brain volume on the sides where the temporal lobes are and on the front where the frontal lobes are." Roubleau explained about the progression of FTD. "You can imagine, if someone says something to you, asks you a question, a person with aphasia, they can’t receive that information and make sense of it," he said. "If you look at a brain, you’ll see space, more space than you should, in the front and on the side," explained Dr.
