The March 2022 announcement that Bruce Willis was retiring was met with widespread shock. The "Die Hard" and "Pulp Fiction" star had just been diagnosed with aphasia, which severely impacts communication, although it later emerged that his struggles had for years been a source of gossip throughout Hollywood. In this 60-minute ABC News special, Emma Heming, Willis' wife, opens up about the family's new reality to Diane Sawyer.
Here's how to watch "Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" from anywhere with a VPN.
'Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey' streams, release date
"Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" premieres on Tuesday, August 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
• U.S. — ABC via Sling TV / Fubo | From August 27 on Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• Watch anywhere — try Norton VPN risk-free
A year later, Willis' family revealed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which can cause personality changes, memory loss and physical difficulties. Heming, who's been married to Willis since 2009 and shares two daughters with him (Willis also shares three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore) has been refreshingly honest about the toll it has taken on her.
She's since become an advocate for support workers, who were hailed as heroes during the pandemic — albeit without any meaningful financial reward — and have since been marginalized once more.
The special will also see Sawyer speak to dementia experts to learn more about the condition, and to offer advice to the millions of support workers and carers who don't have a platform or outlet for sharing their harrowing experiences.
Read on to see how you can watch "Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" from anywhere in the world.
Watch 'Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey' from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the Diane Sawyer special on your usual subscription?
You can still watch "Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business wanting to watch their usual streams.
Norton VPN is among the best out there:
Exclusive deal
Already well known for its excellent antivirus, Norton also has a speedy, secure VPN with an array of handy features and server locations around the globe. You can try it absolutely risk-free thanks to its generous 60-day money-back guarantee.
And the great news is that Tom's Guide readers get an exclusive discount on its VPN! (North America and Australia only)
– Get Norton VPN in U.S. & Canada from just $2.49/month with this deal
– Get Norton VPN in Australia from just AU$2.49/month with this deal
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select a U.S. server from the location list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your streaming service app — Hulu, for example — and watch "Emma and Bruce Willis" online from wherever you are.

"Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" premieres on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday, August 26.
If you don't have the channel on cable, you can get ABC via a cord-cutting service like Sling TV or Fubo — more details below.
Alternatively, you can tune in from Wednesday, August 27 on Disney Plus and Hulu.
Hulu offers new subscribers a 30-day FREE trial, but you'll get better value from the Disney Plus and Hulu bundle, which costs just $10.99 per month. Alternatively, the Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Select bundle costs $16.99 per month, and the Disney Plus, Hulu and Max bundle costs $16.99 per month.
Traveling outside the U.S.? You can always use a VPN — we recommend Norton VPN — to watch "Emma and Bruce Willis" from anywhere on the planet.
The Sling TV Blue plan, starting at $50.99 a month, will let you watch "Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" on ABC in select markets.
If you love TV, you'll want to check out Fubo. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay upfront and has dozens of top channels, including ABC, NBC, USA, CBS, FOX, FS1 and ESPN via its $84.99 per month Pro Plan.
Watch 'Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey' around the world
There's no word on an international release for "Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" at the time of writing, but the special will likely stream on Disney Plus in territories outside the U.S. very soon. Come back here for details.
The Disney Plus price starts from CA$7.99/£4.99/AU$13.99/month.
Visiting any of these territories from the U.S. right now? Access your usual ABC streaming service by using NordVPN.
