Supermodel, Super Sporty, and Super Spiritual: Bruce Hulse!!

Cornell (thank) U Season 4 Episode 196

You’ve heard of triple threats — but none quite like Bruce Hulse: a Cornell two-sport athlete, a globetrotting supermodel, and a lifelong seeker of spiritual truth.

We talk to Bruce about his evolution from athletic star to one of the most recognizable male models of the 1980s and beyond. With a modeling career spanning over 40 years, Bruce has worked with icons like Bruce Weber, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren... and Cindy Crawford. He's also an incredible surfer — and yes, he was naked on Cornell’s campus… more than once.

We hear about the devastating losses he experienced during the LA fires, and how his deep spirituality is helping him through it.

Plus, the full-circle moment of watching his daughter graduate from Cornell, just steps away from where he once trained as an Ivy League athlete.

Bruce is a model in every sense of the word — of style, resilience, and living a fascinating life with grace and humor. We LOVED him. And yes, we’ll be posting photos.

Big thanks to our Peter Kaplan for introducing us to another phenomenal guest.
