Bruce Willis Celebrates His 60th Birthday With A Blast

Bruce Willis celebrated his 60th birthday at Harlow in New York City, surrounded by his family and celebrity friends. On Saturday, Willis and his wife Emma Heming stood side by side during the celebration, even joining the fun of taking pictures in photo booths and blowing the candles on the chocolate cake prepared for the celebration. According to Yahoo Celebrity, Heming herself shared the photos on Instagram and labeled it “Bee Dub’s 60th” and captioned it, “It’s fair to say, the birthday boy had a great time.” A romantic dance was also said to have been captured by a friend during the birthday celebration. Present during the celebration was Tallulah Willis, who accompanied Heming in preparing the special occasion. Rumer Willis, his eldest daughter, wasn’t able to attend the party because of her “Dancing With The Stars” engagement in Los Angeles where she practices with her partner Val. It was during Rumer’s debut on DWTS that her parents got back together to support her, including the rest of the family. According to Rumer in her appearance on Larry King, “They always made an effort to do all the family events still together and made such an effort to still have our family be as one unit, as opposed to two separate things, which I think really made an impact.” Scout Willis posted a tweet on her account expressing how much she’s proud of her dad and how glad she is to call him her dad. In a report made by the Daily Mail, other celebrities in attendance include Tony Bennett and Keith Richards, both of which made their own marks on the music industry. The birthday celebration was even made special because it was also the couples anniversary and the 36-year old British model didn’t pass the chance to greet his husband on Instagram, captioning a picture of them, saying, “Happy 6th anniversary to the man that still makes me feel like a newlywed.”
