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'm so officially creeped out now. YUCK!

The cover shot looks more like fetish wear the type that the high fetish fashionestas were to the various Rubber Balls and Fetish Balls that are in the USA and Europe.

Not much bondage going on in this picture...­Very glam and edgy fashion ah al Matrix....

[hdj8501]

I'm sorry but that picture is gross! Bruce Willis looks dead already!

[tora]

What Bondage!?!?!?
It's Siouxsie and the Banshees!

[jneems]

Ahhh Bruce Willis in love. Just kind of gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?

I'm sure his children are thrilled by these pictures.

Kind of reminds me of a movie scene.....­.........

" Bring out the gimp"

" The gimps sleeping"

" Guess your just gonna have to go wake him up now, won't cha "

That's your desperation talking, Bruce.

[wltdnfaded]

Might be someout there who would call that codependency.

[wltdnfaded]

Aw, that was low. Nah, I'm happy for him. But I do have one complaint, or rather just a wistful wish...

Wouldn't it be awesome if a big Hollywood star didn't marry a model, but an average-looking person? I would love to see that someday.

[LeBelAge]

Like I want to see an old bald greasy conservative dude being portrayed in any sexually explicit fashion. I just lost my lunch!

[indiamerican]

Poor man! Money and fame has given him no happiness. Just weird taste and ugly style. My sympathies to his family.

[jeliz]

I kinda like it. Reminds me of the Matrix.

[PuddinPie]

OMG! Bruce Willis married a Real Doll!

[Blueline]

LMAO! Good one.

I'm super shocked...­but in a good way. I'm totally surprised at how brave he was to do this kind of photo shoot. I mean, I've always believed that Bruce Willis has been unerrated and that there's so much more for him to do as an actor. But, the photos so blatantly depict him as a strong submissive, and I find it incredibly brave of him to just go for it. And I don't get the feeling that the photos are playing out their private lives, but I've got to give it up to BW for following that artistic vein to its natural conclusion.

I do kinda wish either she weren't naked at all, and/or that he was naked.

Personally, for all of BW's success, I think that Hollywood still hasn't gotten him yet.

Bruce Willis was dead at the end of Sixth Sense, and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

[vagabondvet]

I never thought I'd be on a boat.

[booboo111]

Other than Mel Gibson, is and John Voight, is there a bigger celebrity a-hole than Bruce Willis?

[LeBelAge]

Steven Baldwin!

Bruce Willis doesn't even make the top 100, in my book.

There used to be a time when kink wasn't mainstream and those who wanted to access it could - now we're all exposed to it whether we want to be or not. I find that annoying. I don't wanna see it and it's in a lot of mainstream stuff now. on magazine covers and on tv - there's no way to stop it so I'm not sure how that's fair to everyone.

Anyway - I think he looks rather femenin in that photo, which I find kinda odd or is that all part of the kink thing. Whatever, it's unappealing.

"There used to be a time when kink wasn't mainstream and those who wanted to access it could - now we're all exposed to it whether we want to be or not."

You articulated something there. I could not put my finger on why most of what passes for mainstream now troubles me. Now I can. It's the ease and the in-your-face availability of it to people that may not want to see it, not that it exists. Bruno's ass in Eminem's face notwithstanding, maybe I would feel differently if I thought it to be an attractive photo; it's not.

[rr00]

Yes, there is a point to how he (and she) appear in the photos.

Good for BW -- I'm in that post-divorce "alone but not lonely" phase myself, and it was nice to hear him express how I feel.

There used to be a time when gay wasn't mainstream and those who wanted to access it could. Now we're all exposed to it whether we want to be or not. It's not fair to all of us straight people who don't want to see homosexuality that gay people don't have to hide in the closet anymore.

As someone who likes this kind of stuff, I think it's cool that it's going more mainstream. Hopefully more people will learn to appreciate the beauty of human diversity, even if such diversity does not appeal to those people.

[SuesW]

As someone who's gay I find your analogy ridiculous.

[Darsan54]

Man, how does anyone walk in those shoes she's wearing?

[SuesW]

I don't think they're meant for walking.
