He sometimes embarrasses you in public
Bruce’s daughter Rumer was at a nightclub opening in LA a few years back when in walked her dad with a blonde on each arm. She was so mortified that she had to leave.

There was also the time he wore these red shorts. Rumer threw herself to the ground in a tantrum (Albrect Gerlacht/EMPICS Entertainment)
He’s grumpy
Look at him. Giving out yards about the price of the drinks. And look at his Dad-tastic runners (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill)
