Did Bruce Willis meet his new wife on the casting couch?

Many people were surprised by Bruce Willis’s weekend nuptials to Emma Heming. I looked at the story with an “oh, I bet she’s knocked up” sort of attitude. The celebrity weeklies and gossip sites are scrambling to find some dirt on this girl. And what they found is a little funny, because I seem to recall a similar story being told about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Apparently Bruce met Emma on a “casting call” for his 2007 film Perfect Stranger. Casting call, eh? Sure it wasn’t the “casting couch”? OK! has more:

It’s always been a bit unclear as to how Bruce Willis met his new wife, model Emma Heming. Reps for the actor have said the pair have mutual friends, but a new story has a slightly wilder tale to tell.

A story from Wednesday morning’s NY Post alleges that the Die Hard superstar actually met the 30-year-old beauty when he was casting for lovely ladies to star in his 2007 erotic techno-thriller flop Perfect Stranger.

“He personally went through head shots and when the girls were called in to ‘read,’ he was there in the meeting,” the Post quotes a source as saying. “It was odd for the star of a movie to do so, but at the time he was single and I guess he needed a date.”

Though he didn’t begin dating Heming right away (that honor went to another actress, Tamara Feldman), she did score a minor role in the movie. The story claims that Willis eventually began dating both Emma and Tamara until he ultimately made his choice. Not surprisingly, Bruce’s rep had nothing to say on the claims made by the newspaper.

Emma didn’t even get the part! That girl doesn’t know how to work the casting couch. Or maybe she does – why put the “work” into getting the part, when you could just snag a rich husband. Am I right, ladies? Seriously, am I right? I have no idea how any of that “snagging a rich husband” stuff works, or else I would be drinking pina coladas on some tropical island right now. I’m so jealous of Emma. She’s a lot smarter than me.

    Somewhere in a Vegas strip club, Sarah Larson (George Clooney’s ex) is fuming! Lol

    I’ve heard of this Emma model before. She use to date Brent Bolthouse. After hooking up with Bruce, she also landing some lingerie modeling contract much in the same way the Larson girl landing that Christian Audigier modeling contract after dating George. The only difference is that Emma’s contract was real.

    But hey, don’t be jealous of Emma, CB. Would you rather be known as a talented writer or be known for sleeping with rich men. ;-P

    Sounds likely. It’s funny timing that just as Bruce marries someone 20 yrs his junior, Demi’s 12-yr-old husband twits a photo of her bottom for the world to see. Think there’s a message in there somewhere…

    Is the marriage even valid ? they got married in the Island of Turks A lot of wealthy men do this ( Mick Jagger ) get married on a Island but the marriage is not recognized as valid in the USA.
    why is anyone surprised on the casting couch thing? they all do it same thing with showing up a runway shows its a chance to pick up on skinny good looking women.

    He is happy and she is happy… so who cares? He got a young chick she got a rich older man. Everybody wins!

    @BeautifulNahl you hit the nail on the head…:)

    demi’s butt does look great for 44,i must say. i know,i know,she’s had all kinds of surgery,and has the time and money to do the way healthy lifestyle thing…but still…

  10. lrm says:

    oh,and Emma is 32,not 22. She’s a full grown woman,and it IS possible at their respective ages,to actually enjoy one another’s company. The age gap does close for a period in the m iddle there,i think. Now,if he were 72,that’s another story. but 54 and 32,and women are notoriously more mature.[sorry,but we are,as a general stereotype]…so it’s prob. more like 36 and(: 44.

    @BeautifulNahl – 100%!

    People still talk about how Demi ‘robbed the cradle’, but old smarmy Bruce is just ‘lucky’..oh brother. Remember when he used to be considered good looking? Me neither..

    I can’t wait for Willis to Twitter photos of his wife’s ass in a bikini…or maybe a thong…

    This match looks like father and daughter to me. –Demi and Bruce’s oldest daughter. She should hook up with Ashton.
