2. He And Em Ratajkowski Are Actually Long-Time Friends
Contrary to the reports, Bear-McClard and Ratajkowski were friends for years before becoming a couple. They even belong to the same circle of friends.
“We knew each other for a long time before and he likes to joke ‘yeah everyone thinks we got married quickly, but you vetted me for two years, so…” Ratajkowski revealed in an interview on Busy Tonight.
They dated for a couple of weeks before getting married in a private ceremony attended by few friends at New York’s City Hall. Ratajkowski was previously with music producer and ex-boyfriend Jeff Magid for a few years until their breakup last year.
3. He Proposed To Emily Using A Paperclip Ring
Not only was their wedding unusual, so was the proposal! In an interview on Tonight With Jimmy Fallon, the 28-year old model and actress revealed that her husband proposed to her without a ring – and she rejected him at first. But then, the filmmaker took the paperclip from a bill, shaped it into a ring, and asked for her hand again. She called the moment romantic and was immediately swept off her feet.
4. He’s Best Friends With Internet Star The Fat Jew
When the news of their surprise courthouse wedding broke out, fans and press alike saw a familiar face amongst the wedding guests. The Fat Jew, whose real name is Josh Ostrovsky, has been best friends with Bear-McClard since they were kids.
He was invited by Ratajkowski to the wedding to act not only as a witness but also as a ‘decoy groom’ to ward-off the paparazzi. He told MailOnline that witnessing the marriage of his best friend and Em Ratajkowski made him believe in love again.
5. He’s Won A Lot Of Awards For His Films

6. Filmmaking Is In His Blood
Bear-McClard’s mother, Liza Bear, is a renowned filmmaker, activist, and writer who is known for the film Force of Circumstance. She also founded two magazines, Avalanche and Bomb. His father, Michael McClard, is an artist whose work has been exhibited at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
7. He’s Super Affectionate
Even before the wedding, it was pretty common to spot Bear-McClard showing his affection to Ratajkowski when they went out together in public. Unlike most men who are uncomfortable with displaying their lovey-dovey side, he has no problem showing the entire world how much he loves his wife – even after he managed to win her heart and hand in marriage.
There are lots of photographs of him hugging and kissing his wife in public, totally not minding the paparazzi lurking about.
8. He Started His Career As An Editorial Assistant
