We break down Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' relationship over the years.
She recalls that Willis was completely focused on her that night, prompting Estevez to tell her, 'He's all over you, like a cheap suit in the rain.'" "Bruce -- who'd been a bartender in New York City before he became a television star -- was showing off behind the bar that night, tossing the cocktail shaker in the air, the kind of thing that seemed cool in 1987 but sounds cringeworthy now, and Emilio had a point: Bruce was looking at me a lot as he went through his bar moves," Moore writes.
"He was so attentive as the evening progressed, I was stunned to find out later that he'd actually been on a date that night with another woman."Time Life Pictures/DMI/The LIFE Picture Collection via Getty Images "I'd never encountered treatment like this before. Bruce was so gallant -- in his own boisterous way, a real gentleman," she shares."When I said it was time for me to go home, he offered to walk me to my car. He was so eager about it -- like a little boy who didn't want to miss the ice-cream truck. When he asked for my number, I felt a wave of schoolgirl flutters. 'Do you have a pen?' He checked his pockets and came up empty. 'Don't leave!' he said, and went skittering off to get one. Then he wrote it on his arm -- a sight I'd see a million times over the years; Bruce was always writing things on his arm. But that first time, I noticed that his hands were shaking. He was so vulnerable in that moment: all of the bravado was gone." Willis was all-in from the get-go, coming with Moore the very next day to visit her aunt. From then on, it was a whirlwind romance. "It's hard not to feel good when someone showers you with that much attention," she explains in her memoir."I think Bruce saw me as some kind of angelic savior when we first met, maybe partly because I was sober and not a party girl. .... Bruce insisted that he thought everything about me was beautiful: he wrapped my fear and anxiety in his love."She also says the two bonded over difficult childhoods. "When Bruce and I got together, our traumas met," she writes."Like me, Bruce had had a difficult childhood: he was a stutterer, which had the positive side effect of getting him into acting. ... So Bruce and I had both grown up performing, role-playing for survival." The two later married at the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 21, 1987 -- just four months after meeting -- after Willis convinced her to tie the knot on a weekend trip they took while he had a break from filming the now classicLater, the two had a much more lavish ceremony, which was paid for by film studio TriStar due to the massive amount of publicity it would generate. The late Little Richard officiated the ceremony, and Annie Leibovitz was the photographer.
