Bruce Willis and his lingerie-model bride Emma Heming don kinky boots and play bondage in the July issue of W magazine. He had these revelations:

• On his new marriage: “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. … Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier.”

• On how he, Emma, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and the kids (Rumer, Scout and Tallulah) 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.”

• On modeling with Emma for W: “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.”
