Bruce Willis is lighting up social media with his megawatts smile as he and his family recently enjoyed a final Splash Mountain experience.
The Hollywood veteran needs no introduction as one of the industry's living legends with stellar achievements. The 68-year-old is best known for his alpha male character John McClane in the "Die Hard" franchise.
Last year, the Idar-Oberstein native's reign ended after he was diagnosed with aphasia before receiving a second diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia in 2023. Despite his condition, the entertainer continues to thrive, as seen in his wife, Emma Heming Willis's latest update.

The "Red" star's wife shared a video of the Willis clan's recent trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, California on her Instagram page. The outing featured the entire family, including the Hollywood sensation's three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore.
The clip was set to the iconic children's song "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" by Anthony the Banjo Man and Musicale Mark and His Pedaling Piano. In the opening scene, viewers saw an image of the theme park's Splash Mountain attraction alongside a picture of Bruce's brood from his first marriage.
In the snap, Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout Willis were seen posing in a log-shaped boat traveling down the water ride. Then came a video of Emma filming the family as they enjoyed the attraction while wearing matching white tees illustrated with Disney's iconic mascot, Mickey Mouse.
Seated behind the brunette was her husband and one of their daughters. The "Death Wish" star looked healthy and happy, giving off bright smiles for the camera while flaunting a stunning white beard.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame honoree was in full daddy mode throughout the video, using one arm to form a makeshift seatbelt for his daughter. In the passing scenes, the "Tears of the Sun" actor told the little girl to "smile" for the camera, wiping water off her face and laughing together as the ride progressed.
"You better watch out. I think we're going to go again," the TV personality said, shielding his daughter's face with his free hand while allowing her to use his other arm as a safety belt.
In other shots, Emma sat with her two daughters, Mabel Ray and Evelyn Willis. The little girls wore headphones and baseball caps as they enjoyed the water ride with their mother.
The joyful video ended with a shot of the family in the last phase of the attraction, riding off the mountain for a final massive splash. The Willis clan visited Disneyland before the famous attraction's closure on Wednesday, May 31.
Paying homage to Splash Mountain for the fun memories, the "Wrong Place" actor's wife noted the family would return after the ride's scheduled renovation. "You bet this family will be back for more fun and laughs when you reopen as Tiana Bayou!" the model raved.
"Thanks for all the memories Splash Mountain. #SplashMountain #DisneylandLove," the brunette concluded her caption. Naturally, her followers were excited for an update on the Hollywood icon, and they expressed their gratitude with sweet comments.
"Love seeing Bruce smile and with his family! Thank you for sharing," a fan penned. "That is what life is all about, making memories to last a lifetime," another chimed. Others were touched by Bruce's parental instincts, with someone writing: "I love how he's protecting her with his arm! Dad instincts, so sweet."
The Legendary Actor Received Sweet Tributes From His Loved Ones On His 68th Birthday.
Months before the Willis family visited Disneyland, the clan united to celebrate their patriarch's 68th birthday on March 19. This age milestone marked the entertainer's first trip around the sun after announcing his health issues.
Scout began the tributes to the "Midnight in the Switchgrass" star by sharing a throwback picture of herself as a child with her father alongside a lengthy caption. The 31-year-old lauded her father with praises, describing him as "the master of duality" who was an "action hero icon and "gentle girl dad."
Following the same trend, Tallulah shared a series of throwback pictures of the "Cop Out" star with the touching caption: "Happy birthday to my numero uno Bruno!! Feeling awash with all the good energies and love headed this Willis way! I love him, and he loves me – what a delight!"
In her tribute, Willis's oldest daughter shared a video of the family serenading the patriarch with a happy birthday song in his home. The celebrant appeared in good spirits, smiling brightly as he enjoyed the love.
