In a live discussion moderated by Alina Cho, Moore shared that Bruce, 69, is "stable" amid his battle with FTD, a diagnosis revealed last year after his previous aphasia diagnosis in 2022. Reflecting on the situation, Moore expressed her acceptance of the disease, stating, "The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he’s at, he is stable."
She emphasized the importance of meeting her ex-husband where he is in his journey with the illness. “What I always encourage is to just meet them where they're at. When you're holding on to what was, I think it's a losing game," she explained. "But when you show up to meet them where they're at, there is great beauty and sweetness."
Moore, who shares three daughters with Willis—Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30—recently spent time with Bruce alongside her granddaughter, Rumer's toddler, Louetta. “Being able to share with whatever we have, for however long we have it,” she said, underscoring the value of those moments together.
Elsewhere in the discussion, Moore reflected on her career, reminiscing about the many highlights that were showcased in a reel of her films, including Ghost, Indecent Proposal, and G.I. Jane. Watching the reel backstage, she was struck by the passage of time. “I felt like I was watching a lot of life,” she said. “Actually feels like lifetimes, because the gift is that we get to keep changing and growing. What I was thinking is, ‘Thank God I kept getting opportunities to get better.’”
Moore also touched on her latest film, The Substance, where she plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a woman who takes a black market drug to appear younger. The film, directed by Coralie Fargeat and co-starring Margaret Qualley, explores themes of body image and the pressures placed on women as they age.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Moore opened up about her relationship with her own body over the years, particularly the self-judgment she has experienced. “We’ve all had moments where you go back and you’re trying to fix something, and you’re just making it worse," she said. "We’re seeing these small things nobody else is looking at, but we’re so hyper-focused on all that we’re not. If we start to think our value is only with how we look, then ultimately we’re going to be crushed.”
Through her work and personal reflections, Moore continues to be a voice for embracing change and acceptance, both on and off the screen.
