Perhaps he’ll be choosier now that he and his wife have both decided to cut back on work. “The thought of him going away for three months to shoot a film—I’ve had relationships like that in the past, and it’s not stable,” says Emma, who won’t confirm that babies are in their plans, though she offers that it’s possible. “Where my first priority used to be work, it’s now my personal life.” Bruce has adopted the same policy. “I hear so many people in relationships say, ‘I just need a couple of days away, or even an hour away,’” he says. “But I don’t want to be away from Emma at all. It’s the most singular relationship I’ve ever had in my life.”
There he goes again with the “sickening” stuff. Bruce is hardly oblivious to the fact that it’s a bit much, but he’s unapologetic. Joy is one emotion he’s not going to try to temper. “It wasn’t always like this for me,” he says. “What you’re seeing now—I’m just very happy. I’m at peace.”
