Bruce Willis Does Bondage Shoot, Talks New Marriage In W

Bruce Willis and his new lingerie-model bride Emma don kinky boots and play bondage in the July issue of W Magazine.

Inside the action star and Demi Moore-divorcee talks about his recent nuptials and the provocative (and topless) photo shoot.

On marrying 32-year-old Emma Heming in March '09 after dating a string of models ..."I went from 'F--- love' to 'Love is truly the answer. I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy. In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer. I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself. Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier."

On how he, Emma, Demi, Ashton, and the kids (Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah) ALL GET ALONG...We've become like a tribe. It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that. Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together. I still love her, and I have a lot of respect for how she lives her life."

On modeling with Emma for W's photo shoot for the July issue..."Oh, it was awkward. We did stuff that I know a lot of other actors would not have done. Had I done it with another model I don't know that I would have been as into it."

On how he now prioritizes his personal life over his career..."I hear so many people in relationships say, 'I just need a couple of days away, or even an hour away. But I don't want to be away from Emma at all. It's the most singular relationship I've ever had in my life."

I think the narrative in these photos is powerful and the shots are quite beautiful (in a provocative way, which is consistent with W). Saying bondage is "old" is a bit like saying any other form of sexual expression is "old" - true but missing the point. The way the artist tapped into the relationship the two models were discussing thru these pics is fascinating. It's weird that a website with so many alleged "open minded" or "tolerant" or "progressive" members has so many narrow minded, ageist, sexually repressed posters...

Did they bring those costumes from home?
Can I get an EEWWWW!

Bruce looks like one of those Galapagos turtles without a shell. Creepy, actually.

[zest]

Isn't this fetish stuff supposed to be behind closed doors?

[maceov]

Enough already Bruce, you're just doing this because Demi and Ashton talked about posing nude. Nobody wants to see an OLD musket... Alright???

Somehow I don't think the courthouse where I work would allow me to wear those boots in front of the bench. Just a thought...­....

... are now in their 40's. Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo di Caprio, Brad Pitt, etc. etc.

He's an old man now. Really, most of the most well-known male actors are now old men. When is the next generation going to be given a chance? Even Matt Damon and Johnny Dep

[mairs]

A chance to do what?

[TigersEye]

Your definition of "old" is ........in­teresting.

[Bitsko]

Wake me when Pulp Fiction 2 comes out.

I see fetish gear but not much bondage. Where are the ropes?!

[mairs]

Are those Pony Girl boots?

This is a rare incident of celebrities as role models. By that I am referring to Demi and Bruce, and how lovely they have been to each other and to other's new partners, since their divorce. It's a rare find, and I very much admire them both for it.

He's one year younger than me. He gives me hope that somewhere out there a 32 year old will want to tie me up. just be careful Bruce - No vacation trips to Bankok!

If you have as much money as Bruce Willis it should be no problem.

[profounddogs]

Yuck.

[ReneeZ]

Can't help it, but I had to LOL reading and seeing this... Silly old man.

[mairs]

I don't know... he's not my favorite but there's something sexy about him.

[furey]

A little less degradation, a little more "action", Bruce.
