Bruce Willis smiles in rare sighting as he dons Dodgers cap on drive with bodyguard in LA amid aphasia and dementia battle

Bruce Willis smiled during a rare sighting on a Sunday drive in Los Angeles, as the actor continues his health battle with aphasia and dementia.

The Pulp Fiction actor, 69, was seated in the passenger seat of a black vehicle clad in a black Los Angeles Dodgers mesh ballcap, as the hometown team holds a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the ongoing World Series.

Willis wore a black zip-up hoodie jacket with a white T-shirt on the autumn day in Southern California.

The Die Hard star appeared relaxed and in an upbeat mood amid the daytime trek.

The Sixth Sense actor is father to five daughters: Mabel Ray, 12, and Evelyn, 10, with wife Emma Heming Willis, 46; and Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with ex-wife Demi Moore, 61.

Willis' outing came less than two weeks after Heming took to Instagram with a retro shot of herself and Willis, captioning the image, 'Doing selfies before they had a name.'

In September, Moore, 61, updated fans on her ex-spouse's health during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, saying that 'given the givens, he is in a stable place.' 

Moore, who had been wed to Willis from 1987-2000, opened up on how she has advised her children to deal with the yearslong family health crisis.

'What I say to my kids is you meet them where they're at,' Moore said in the appearance. 'You don't hold on to who they were or what you want them to be, but who they are in this moment.

'And from that, there is such beauty and joy and loving and sweetness. When I'm in LA, I go over every week, and I really treasure the time that we all share.'

In an August 22 post on Instagram Stories, Rumer Willis shared an image of herself holding her father's hand while answering a question about how the actor has been doing amid his health woes.

Rumer said, 'He is great. I love him so much. Thank you.'

In May, Rumer said on the Today show that her father had been doing 'good' and was bonding with her one-year-old daughter Louetta, who she shares with ex Derek Richard Thomas.
