Everything Bruce Willis needed to know about love, he learned from daughters Rumer, 21, Scout, 18, and Tallulah, 16.
“I would step in front of a car for them,” the actor tells Men’s Journal.
“I’ve peeled every layer off and come to the bright core: it’s just a light … it’s when you can put someone else’s welfare ahead of yours. I can look at how I interact with my kids and say, ‘This is love. I know what it is. I got it.’”
When his marriage to the girls’ mom, actress Demi Moore, collapsed in 2000, Willis — pictured here with new wife Emma Heming — says that they made a conscious choice to stay friends for the sake of their daughters.
Noting that “you can’t spend a decade with someone and raise kids with her and come away unfeeling,” he recalls,
“I just put my head down and said, ‘The kids come first. And we’ll do whatever it takes and maybe even laugh about it’ … Once you start putting the kids first, it isn’t uncomfortable. Bravery is stupid a lot of times, but there’s nothing stupid about this particular subject.”
