One of the trickiest questions Emma had to answer was whether the actor was aware of his illness and how it was progressing, to which he answered that “it’s hard to know.”

“I don’t want there to be any stigma associated with her father’s diagnosis.”

Her mother has resolved the issue by clarifying that this is indeed the case “a very honest and open family”. “The most important thing is to be able to say what the disease is, explain what the disease is because when you know the disease from a medical point of view, everything makes sense.”

“That’s why it’s important for us to tell them what the disease is, because, you know, I don’t want there to be any stigma or shame associated with their father’s diagnosis, or any form of dementia,” he explained.
