Bruce Willis is one of the most recognizable and revered action stars in the history of Hollywood. He's starred in some of the most iconic films the genre has ever seen, including Die Hard and The Fifth Element.
For a long time, Bruce thought he had it all but the one thing he was sorely missing in his life is the one thing that we all aspire to have and hold — love. Now, after waiting 57 years, Bruce finally feels as if he's on the precipice of the greatest love story of his life.
Ever since his breakout role as John McClane in Die Hard, Bruce has been revered as one of Hollywood's favorite action heroes. His work in decade-defining films such as Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense helped to solidify his status as a bonified movie star.
It all started when Bruce met Demi Moore at a LA movie screening. At the time, she was engaged to her St. Elmo's Fire co-star, Emilio Estevez.
Four months later, Demi and Bruce were wed. Over the course of the next six years of marriage, they had three beautiful daughters together.
However, as the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving. After trying in vain to repair their broken relationship, Bruce and Demi released a statement in June of 1998 that their marriage was over.
It didn't happen overnight, but after a while, something strange started to happen — Bruce and Demi became the best of friends.
That is until 32-year-old model/actress Emma Hemming came into the picture. "I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy," Bruce told W magazine.
"I would say, ‘I’m alone, but I’m not lonely,’" Bruce explained. "But I was just kidding myself."
“I went from ‘F— love’ to ‘Love is truly the answer," Bruce said with an emphatic smile. Then, in 2009, Bruce and Emma decided to give their love a chance and were married.
It's no exaggeration to say that Bruce Willis is surrounded by women on all fronts, and he couldn't be happier about it.
"Women are much smarter than men — I conceded to that a long time ago. Women should be in charge of everything — they should be the presidents of every country in the world."
Their marriage is living proof that love can happen at any age, so long as you leave yourself open to the possibility of it finding you.
