WTF Happened to BRUCE WILLIS?

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question of where these fine folks went, how they got there, and where you can find 'em now.
There's no doubt that Bruce Willis ranks with the greatest movie stars of all time. From his time as the fast-talking private eye on "Moonlighting" to his breakthrough in DIE HARD, through his more dramatic turns in PULP FICTION, THE SIXTH SENSE, and more, he's the best of the best. But, in recent years his output has been filled with disposable, DTV junk where his roles are supporting at best, and often unworthy of his talent, a fact he seems to realize given his listless performances. So let's take a look at how Willis got here, and how despite everything, there are still flashes of the old Bruce Willis in movies like GLASS and LOOPER.

#BruceWillis #WTFHappenedToBruceWillis #DieHard
Bruce, you were an icon for generations. People loved, laughed, cried and were at awe at the movies you were in. Now go enjoy your retirement. Thanks for being the awesome Bruce Willis we had, have and always will aspire to be ourselves.
Sincerely,
The entire action movie fandom.
What do you mean "were".
you actually think he still has the cognitive capacity to comprehend your message?
thats just mean.
Kevin Smith ended up being a super douche. Cry baby ruined he man than blamed the fans.
Bruce Willis was my first movie star idol. I adored the guy, loved his 'acting', and still love most of his good movies, but now I see what gets most actors down - their ego. I wanna make a movie about a grumpy old action movie star who gets to do one last action movie, but he can't because his wife got him banned from acting.
A lot of actors from Bruce Willis' era have been relegated to similar fates; starring in cheap VOD movies made by incompetent people who can't get jobs elsewhere. It's part of the consequence of Hollywood consolidation, i.e. studios investing big in only 3 or 4 tentpole films a year now and abandoning original mid-budget content altogether -- where most of these actors, Willis included, thrived. And I think guys like him have kind of accomplished and achieved as much as they were ever going to, so they don't have anything left to prove and I think that puts them on an autopilot. Also see Robert De Niro. It's really sad but getting older and being phased out of your own business can lead to this kind of terse indifference.
Yeah, it's especially tough for these guys who've become associated with almost entirely with action roles. Willis has done impressive work in "non-genre" movies, it's true.... But these non-genre roles were mostly in flicks that have gone largely unseen
This. Folks just don't understand the business of Hollywood. I won't go into it in detail, but basically, we know who a lot of these A-List actors like Bruce WIllis are because of their work in 80's and 90's Mid-Budget films. These movies made so much money because they cost so little to make--well, so little to make compared to Tentpole films. Willis has a few hits in that category post 2000: Hostage and 16 Blocks comes to mind. Hostage was him doing his normal thing. But 16 Blocks--this video doesn't do it justice. He actually plays against type in that film. He's actually trying in that one.
Bruce Willis should see about making a move to an Amazon series or something if he wants to get that sort of thing back. He maybe doesn't want to put in the work, though. He has nothing else to prove. That said, I'd love to see him play something like a Columbo or a Perry Mason. Not those exactly. Just something like that. It would be good for him in his Twilight years.
But not many had the same range as Willis did or the ability to branch out in to other genres. Arnie did some comedy, but drama was never his thing. Sly did some drama and shines as a writer, but I never saw much from him on the comedy front.
Wills showed he didn't need to be type cast as an action hero, but kept taking the paychecks from roles that made him appear that he could only do one thing.
Liam Nesson still does small budget to mid budget films that are released in theatres.
Stallone is from Bruce's era but he seems to have maintained enough studio power to pursue his own projects.
Hudson Hawk was amazing, I loved it.
Also, I never knew there was a sequel to "a whole nine yards" so thanks for choosing what I'm going to search for next.
I'm sure you've watched it by now. It sucks.
Sad but it really does
Moon lighting. I loved that show when I was a kid and Bruce and his co star actress chemistry I couldn't get enough of those two characters
He isn’t just bored, he’s got dementia
I know you usually only cover actors on WTF Happened, but I'd really like to see one about director John McTiernan. He may not be a household name but his films basically _defined_ the action genre.
Nah, not really. Die Hard, Predator and at a stretch Die Hard 3.
When I saw how long this videos lasts, my first reaction was "That's a long ass video."
Then : "Makes sense though".
And that’s when I found out JoBlo was from my home city.
Excellence.
Same, that was an interesting thing to know
Isn’t Blo from Medellin?
That's cool but the Spurs still suck
Yes
Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors.
Fifth element and die hard with a vengeance are my two favorite BW films
amen
A coworker worked security during the Atlanta Olympics at one of the celebrity entrances. Bruce, Demi and their kids arrived. Bruce shook his hand and asked for his name while Demi and their kids on the other hand were horrible. Bruce even apologized for them.
Now you have your answer.
Must admit i stopped watching anything Bruce Willis about 10 years ago. Love his 80 stuff though and what i call him to my sis Bruised Willy...
I love Bruce. He is such a wonderful actor!!!
Bruce Willis is a true inspiration to all actors, if he can become a star: anybody can.
Bruce Willis is hot. He is so man. And he has one of the sexiest voice ive ever heard
I'm pissed that you just glossed over Blind Date. One of the funniest 80's movies ever!
you're actually being serious, aren't you..?
@@stefanforrer2573 yes. That movie cracked me up. It had John Larroquette in it. He always made me lose my mind laughing. And I thought Bruce was funny too.
I agree very funny indeed with the perv from Night Court. The Asian guy with his Geisha girl was hilarious.
Oh. Didn't know I was engaging with the Woke. My apologies. Lighten up. You repel people this way.
@@Ponzotopia You've got it all wrong, I like the dude from Night Court. I am not repelling anyone. All the characters were epic. No wokeness here Bubba. Chill out!
Fun fact: Live Free or Die Hard was not filmed as a PG-13 movie. Filming had already started when Fox told Wiseman that the release date was being changed for 4th of July weekend and they wanted it to be PG-13 for a bigger box office. Wiseman continued filming a rated R movie and left it to the editing team to handle. That's why the unrated version flows so well and isn't just deleted scenes.
I still maintain that "Hudson Hawk" is a work of genius.
Agreed, I love that movie!
Hudson Hawk is a classic
I like how we both had the same movie experience with split, except the people in my theater who asked me why I was losing my mind actually got hyped to go watch unbreakable such a great night
WTF Happened to Bruce Willis?
Basically Hollywood gave up with him
no, he gave up on hollywood.
I liked seeing Bruce in Gorillaz's music video Stylo. As for his movies, i have some favorites that i stick to and that's it.
I had no idea what the Sixth Sense was gonna be about when I saw it in theaters when I was in 6th grade. My brother and our cousin were really the ones who went, I just tagged along. Bruce Willis was the only reason I was slightly interested. When the big reveal happens around the half way point, I remember being more scared then I've ever been watching a movie. I think being in the theaters is what helped. Say what you want about that movie and the effects; it was the most scared I have ever been during a movie. People don't seem to remember what it was like when this and The Ring came out and we had no idea what it gonna be about. It's weird to think about because they are both dated and iconic now, but not knowing what those movies were gonna be about and just watching them was most scared I have ever been. Still have yet to watch Heredity. haha.
It says a lot about Bruce Willis that it seemed easy for you to make a 41 minute video about him. Made me reameber how awesome he was.
Well, as we know you were wrong and it wasn't boredom, but a brain disorder health problem diagnosed as aphasia, which affects his ability to speaking, reading, and memory issues. It had been going on for years, but was publicly first caught in the movie Glass, when he had such trouble remembering and speaking his lines. In previous movies, he had trouble with hitting his cues with action movies, and he later stated he had struggled for almost 20 years. People with aphasia tend to start to become more bored looking, having trouble expressing their emotions, even though that isn't the case. He is retired now officially, but it was good having him while we could.
Jo Blow, you really do blow man. I never seen a vid on youtube with so many ads. Easy guy...easy.
I didn't realize he was in so many movies. I've never heard of 85% of these. Probably for the best.
They are probably not the typicl genre that you prefer.
Sometimes the RUclips algorithm is a win. These WTF Happened to videos on this channel are GOLD JERRY! GOLD!
Ocean’s 12 was SO horrible. One of the few times I walked out of the movie theatre halfway through.
This needs a revisit
I caught my Bruce Willis bug with 'Moonlighting'. Absolutely adored his sarcastic yet charming character. Bruce was my fav 80/90' action film star. Don't get me wrong the mass slaughter in Arnie movies was a fun ride (sitting with my brothers and assessing what was the body count in 'Commando'), but yes - the relatability factor of an almost regular guy was more entertaining.
man hudson hawk was a great family movie. back in the days, I dont know when my dad bought the VCD version of it. I watched it so many times. and I enjoyed it.
He followed the Arnold Schwarzenegger route. Arnold wanted to do one comedy after every action movie to round things out. Critics told Arnold it wouldn't be possible for him to play a comedy.
12 Monkeys "best of credits" - Right, right, and right again. Nailed it.
I will say that to this day, Die Hard, the first film, is still probably the best action film I have ever seen. And it still holds up extremely well to this day. The only franchise to come close to that first film is John Wick. But they are two different films.
Met Bruce once at a nightclub in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I said hi to him he came over and talked to me for a few minutes and was very nice. He was making the movie striking distance -at the time. He asked me if I was one of the directors on his movie. I said no, maybe he was going to fire me up. I asked him if he knew a friend that played In the touring co. Of - Bye bye Birdie.? He said yes . Awm
RE: Vengeance…. My FOREVER favorite line was them driving thru Central Park.
Jackson: Are you AMING for these people.
Willis: NO
Well maybe that mime!
I saw this man in the airport when I was like 9 I thought that the movie with elements was all real and he really was his character lol I went crazy when I saw him he was super cool my favorite actor back then
he got old and filthy rich! -the answer to every single one of your WTF videos! don't get me wrong, I love your videos. ;-)
You had me at the very beginning, he's a different Bruce almighty 👍
A new video has been posted titled "Thank You, Bruce Willis!" that should be watched now that we know the reasons behind Bruce's acting for the past few years.
He was amazing in so many classics, Bummer he became bored.
12 Monkeys is one of the best movies ever and the TV series is also golden.
[Title] WTF Happened to BRUCE WILLIS?
38:09 "Bottom line: Bruce is bored. Bored with success. He is just do it for the money."
People near him indeed managed to kept his aphasia issue secret.
Wow a whole 40 minutes to figure out what happened to him
*end of the video "he stopped giving a shit!"
ramona leiter bro, is a very well made, narrated, edited video of his career, you see every his movies and flops. And only in the end what happened to him
Daayyyyumm!! Stallone calling him out online!! Sly must’ve been pissed to air that out publicly!!
Hope you can do a Bruce Willis's from Worst to best film
Bruce Willis is too lazy, greedy and expensive and is why he don't get any good roles anymore. He charges 1 million $ for every day he is i front of camera.
Bruce Willis is in Burt Reynolds territory until some young star tags him to be in a movie much like “Boogie Nights” or “The Longest Yard”.
The news about Willis' condition and his resulting retirement don't make his many direct-to-Disc/VOD-Flicks better... but it makes his involvement in them much more understandable at least.
0
yeah it was not that he stopped caring or that he was a washed up actor he was just a sick man, thank god
Sad
There's lots of people who probably still can't stop laughing thinking about him dealing with it haha, the man's a dickhead
*does not
Damn, I'll never forget the first time I saw Die Hard. Totally changed how I viewed action movies going forward. Still in my top 5 favorite movies of all-time.
Bruce gave the characters realism.
Exactly. The entire cast was perfect. I watch it today and bring back all the great memories of the 1980s! Way to go Bruce!
Agreed. It’s in my top five too
You have poor taste
That’s how I felt first time I saw the matrix and The first Lethal weapon.
His retirement almost feels like funeral in our hearts for all the action he gave us
Willis is surprisingly at his best when he plays vulnerable characters
He’s got more range than people realize…. He was great in that show moonlighting…… early ‘80s pre Die Hard.
Lol, as well as that movie “blind date.”
He has had really weird career likely due to his own decisions. It's like he knows he can pull off more interesting nuanced characters and does it now and again. But he can't help but want to do more "tough guy bad as*" movies which inevitably leads him to misjudge projects and pick some real crap scripts that end up putting him on the downswing. Especially in the last decade or so. He seems way to wrapped up in being a crotchety "tough guy". Probably doesn't help that it's all he's done for awhile now and it's his legit real life personality, so those are the only roles he gets offered anymore.
Because of his voice
Like with Unbreakable or The siete sense
He hated movies so much he made directors hate making their own film, that’s some skill
He is notorious for shadow directing.
I think Wes Anderson is doing alright, and he directed Bruce on Moonrise Kingdom.
Yea a stupid and useless skill if you never want to act again. These actors sabotage their own careers they think they are making some kind of statement, but no one cares and they end never acting in this town again. They forget the everyone is replaceable, fact.
He is very difficult to work with to as several actors and directors said they would never work with him again particularly Richard Gere hated Willis when worked together on The Jackal and Director Kevin Smith said working said something along the line that working with him was destruction to the soul and would never work with him again.
@@scottknode898
I found out everything I needed to know about him when he did an interview for BBC Radio 1 a few years ago to promote a movie.
The DJ even had to explain before they played the recording that they are aware that for a celebrity to sit in a hotel room all day long doing long strings of press interviews to promote movies can be exhausting and boring for them so to try and lighten their day they always go into the interview with a set of questions that are fun and have almost nothing to do with the movie at all. The celebrities usually get it immediately and are really thankful to not have to answer the same questions over and over.
Anyway they played the interview, he seemed completely uninterested. They tried to make him laugh, he didn’t take the bait. They tried to get him to have some fun, again, no dice.
Afterwards the guy who interviewed him said yeah he was NOT in a good mood. He said the second I walked through the door he was like “oh god not another one”. But that’s not the most frustrating part. So usually with a celebrity interview, just before we leave we ask them very kindly for a quick soundbite for the station. Usually we just get them to say something short like I’m Bruce Willis and whenever I’m in the UK I listen to BBC Radio 1 or whatever. They’re always happy to do it because they’re advertising whatever it is they’re trying to sell for free on our show. Well this is what happened when we asked Bruce for a soundbite...
“Just before we go could we ask a huge favour and get you to quickly quote a soundbite for us into a mic?”
*Bruce, very seriously: “Sure. That’ll be a million dollars.”
(At this point the interviewer is audibly uncomfortable and makes a lighthearted joke about maybe doing the recording first and negotiating the money later.
“Nope. You want me to advertise your radio show you gotta pay me a million dollars. Cut the cheque, I’ll say whatever you want”.
Jesus, the guy was the biggest douchebag ever to walk the planet. I think he turned a lot of people against him that day because they were NOT nice about him at all and their (national) breakfast show was easily the most listened to radio show in the whole of the UK at the time. They would regularly pull in like 6 or 7 million listeners on an average day.

The Fifth Element featured the best kind of Bruce Willis. Half invested and half interested.
Exaclty, a bit cheesy but fun
And he never meets gary Oldman
@@eddead4235
Good point
And one of the greatest character actors of all time. Brion James RIP
@@Locadel2003 Cheesy but good cheesy. Not cringeworthy cheesy.
his movies are a dime a dozen now like steven segal and nick cage. thats what happened
Segal was never really that good of an actor...and Cage has tax problems...so I kinda understand those two...Willis...he just started giving no fucks
Nicholas Cage is like if Johnny from Airplane had a cocaine addiction.
@@thecunninlynguist segal looks like leather face
Bruce Willis & Nicolas Cage are better better actors than Steven Seagal.
sadly jean claude has gone the same way with his movies
He retired an hour ago is what happened. Brain performance in his Left hemisphere is causing difficulty processing language.
So, his daughter spoke for him online stating his retirement and moving forward with family and fans
He realized the best days of Hollywood movies are long gone. But he doesn't want to sit at home all day. Might as well keep the paychecks coming.
He only works one day per movie, so it's not to get out of the house. The paycheck is probably it.
Yea, that is why he gave up on Hollywood, he realized what it has become, and he probably wants no part of their insanity anymore.
It will be a sad sad day when Scorsese and Tarantino retire
@@jeffreymcgillivray5408 Hollywood. Full of millennials remaking classic great movies rather than creating anything new, inserting as many virtual signals and box ticking as they can thereby destroying anything that actually made the original great. I used to go to the movies every week 5-6 years ago. Last 6 years there’s barely a movie that has raised my interest.
@@andyrob3259 why are you guys acting like there are no good films anymore when that’s not the truth. There many great films being made. There will always be great movies directors and actors forever. Maybe blockbuster movies are shit sure I mean a lot of em are just remakes and shit. But there’s a lot of small independent films that are really really fucking good
He's the quintessential accidental actor. Everytime his career starts going down he gets hit with a hit and that gives him a tailwind to survive till the next dip. Enjoyed this episode immensely. Get the idea you're enjoying yourself making them.
This just in Bruce Willis was recently diagnosed with Dementia. As someone who’s Grandmother has it, I wish the best to him and his family through this.
Well this aged…. Just aged.
The subtle ego of Tarintino: I can take a waffling actor and bring them back to life, like Frankensteins Monster
Yeah it’s funny Bruce is the big man until he’s put in the position of having the chance to work with a truly great director who he admires and then he’s like a puppy who tries really hard
@@j74s98 well, I like Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs (a little bit of Pulp Fiction) but about the others ... nah
Thats not ego. Thats a fact 😍
@@sam_the_man Considering Pulp was supposed to go to Rourke, Bruce is damned lucky to have been cast. I love his performance, but the guy seems like an unprofessional ass.
@@essecara3275 We all have our "taste" I guess, lol.
The 90's were great to bruce, 2000's not so much, 2010 onwards, who cares. happens to all actors, very rare for an actor to be at the top of their craft all their career.
You are wrong. What about Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Denzel Washington, mark whalberg, Tom Cruise, Liam neeson, will smith, brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, Jackie chan, Robert Downey jr, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman they are still around with good movies and performances
@@Locadel2003 I can't agree that all of these actors are still killing it but there is one you missed, Anthony Hopkins, who has aged like a fine wine and never fails to deliver.
@@Ausare911 I feel like Hopkins hasn't aged since SOTL.
Unless you're handsome and are Tom Cruise.
The best.
I worked on striking distance And was around Bruce & Rowdy for about 90% of 1st unit shooting. There were no blowups or major disagreements on set between them... I don't know about any discussions that were out of the crews view... Bruce was very pleasant to the crew . Even when he and SJ got into a political discussion things were very civil... I worked 93 days on that movie and I was with 1 unit about 90% of that time. Now I don't know if Bruce's hand picked associate producer Carmine had too much pull behind the scenes. But on set there was no apparent issues..
“DH with a vengeance “ is probably my favorite Bruce’s movie. I made my wife watch it for the first time a few weeks ago and she loved it! It still holds up really well.
Yes it did.
Awesome movie. Sam Jackson and Jeremy Irons were also good in it.
Agreed. Usually overlooked too.
“The black man is walking towards me”
@@silvervalleystudios2486 I think Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson needs to do one more Die Hard movie before they retire.
He is 65 years old. He has made millions on his movies and at the time of "Die Hard" he was the highest paid action hero becasue no one would do that script and he took a chance of killing his career. So the point is at 65 some people just slow down and want to just take the money they earned in life and spend it. Have a little fun. We call that retirement and every once in a bit he might do a role here and there that takes no effort on his part just to keep busy.
He doesn't care. He doesn't have too. The video summed it up or at least Bruce Willis did.
He's become lethargic and lazy. He's done these action roles 100 times over. Wether serious or spoofed.
When he has a good role he puts in the effort, when it's just pay check after pay check, he's literally checked out.
I hate seeing him in movies that are straight up trash. I won't watch them. It's clearly evident he doesn't care about them so why should i and that's the point.
@olskool71 Or do what Paul Hogan did just do a film that he liked every 3-4 years?
Sean Connery was 65 when he made The Rock and he was fantastic in that. Willis just takes the fun out of every movie he's in post Sixth Sense. Possible exceptions are Looper and the Wes Anderson films he's in.
He has vowed to quit action movies several times and came close to escaping the action hero stereotype when he did The Sixth Sense but he always returned to action movies.
@olskool71 Jack Nicholson did not want to retire actually. He was having trouble remembering his lines. Hackman just decided to step out of the spotlight, like Sean Connery. In fact on the last installment of Indiana Jones they offered Connery a boat load of money, more than even Ford at the time to come back. He said that if there was any movie that could bring him out of retirement one last time, it is Indiana Jones, however retirement is just too much dam fun.
I heard what happened to him is that he's become a grumpy old man.
He was born grumpy, dear lord...
He got married and has two more daughters. His first wife lives close by, and everyone gets along. They all live in Idaho, most of the time. Must not be too grumpy.
@@lindah5011 I stand by my comment grumpy old man plus they say he's hard to work with.
Sounds like a remake of a movie of the same name “grump old men”
The guy got old. I am 45 and I feel tired and old.
So sad now 😢
That’s crazy...I love The Last Boy Scout
Was my favourite action movie as a kid
Just watched it on Netflix 👌🔥
NO, Die Hard 2 does not get skipped when binge watching the franchise. But of course you skip the last one because c'mon. Who even owns that one?
Internet Tough Guy The 5th one sucks but the rest are good.
@@MrHuck i didnt like the 2nd one much either, i mean it was ok but its one of the weaker entries imo.....the 1st and 3rd are awsome and 4th and 2nd was decent....yeah dont get me started with 5🤢
The first 3 Die Hards are all great.
@@stavros693000 First and third are my two faves as well!
up until about 5 minutes ago I thought the 4th Die Hard was the bomb that killed the franchise...I had no idea they made another one that by the looks of it...finally did it in. I think ill just stop watching them at Die Hard With a Vengeance and think of it as a great trilogy.
M Night Shyamalan needs to make a video where it turns out that all the roles Bruce ever played are all just figments of Bruce's imagination.
Nice..
The ending needs a re amp. Seeing how he was in last years explains where a lot of how he became to be, you will be missed bruce Willis!!!
I second that, perhaps when all his movies currently in post-production have come out?
He isn't dying.
@@jackbrown4120 who said he was? Idiot
@@jackbrown4120 Aphasia is only a symptom of what is likely early onset Alzheimer's/Frontotemporal Dementia. As sad as it is, he is likely dying.
The video is now irrelevant with the announcement of Bruce Willis' retirement as a result of Aphasia which fully explains his decline.
Can we talk about how adorable Mary Louise Parker is in that interview in which Bruce Willis is acting like an ass and she's trying to save it.
She’s wonderful
"Last man standing" is one of my favorite movies.
I watched it and it was actually very boring, not much action
Me too! I also really like Last Man Standing... It always reminds me of the game Mafia. Ooh, and let's not forget Christopher Walken (one of my all-time Favorite actor) - I loved his portrayal of an unhinged madman, shooting everything simply if someone gave him a wrong look haha... And I like the slow pace of the movie too; nowadays, movies are so fast-paced and bloated with CGI that it's absolutely disgusting... For me, the ultimate cinematography era is from the mid-70s up until the end of the 90s (not only for American movies, but also for European movies as well as the Soviet movies too) - BAR NONE!
Agreed! Loooooove how stylized the whole thing was. Also, the movie it's based on ("A Fistful of Dollars") is also amazing.
My favourite 80's actor. Thanks so much for all your hard work on putting this together it was a joy watching.
Some of my favourite Bruce Willis films were Die Hard with a Vengeance, Die Hard, The Fifth Element, Pulp Fiction, Death Becomes Her, Loaded Weapon 1 (in a fun cameo), Unbreakable's good too.
"It's ok... It's ok...".
Then they proceeded to the other trailer. Was it? :D
And Last Man Standing
The Last Boy Scout is his best film in my opinion, Then Die Hard and then Pulp fiction.
Joe Hallenbeck !!!
Last Boyscott is a go to from his collection and him and Keenan Ivory Wayne's were both at the height of their career and you can feel the mutual push back.
I tried to like boy scout and loved the trailer. I just did not feel for it. So sad.
Shan Howerton no worries it’s just like a lethal weapon rip off with the music and wannabe gritty setting still love it
"Just once I want to hear you scream."
"Play some rap music?"
I think "Last Boyscout" and "Hudson Hawk" are two of my favourites. I must have seen them a dozen times each.
This video didn't age well.
Bruce being sick is supposed to take way from all these Bad Movies????🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
@@allengreene9954 I'm referring to the criticism he's received over the last 10 years for being a "jerk", and not putting any effort into interviews, and seeming like he's bored.
I fell in love w Bruce when he was on Moonlighting. He was funny, smart and sensitive. Since hearing about the aphasia I’ve rewatched all the episodes and love him all over again. Get well Bruce. You’re my hero.
4got to mention that his birth name is Walter. Blind date btw is a 80s classic absolutely funny along with John Larroquette & a smoking Kim Basinger.
He stopped caring in the nineties... I think he's last good movie was Red...
I'd say the 00's...he still had that BW charm up to the late 90's
What about looper and moonrise kingdom of 2012🤔
I read recently that Bruce Willis became a bitter a-hole because he wanted more from his career, he also wanted to be a singer besides an actor. After Hudson Hawk (which I don't think is that bad) there was a change on him. Now he just doesn't care anymore, in fact I think he ruins the movies he is in.
@@ViktorKruger99 I don't see how he could have wanted more, he was one of the biggest actors at the time.
looper
Death Becomes Her and Mortal Thoughts are great films, and he's great in them!
I remember really liking "Mortal Thoughts" although I haven't seen it since it landed on VHS. The cast were great.
"Now I'm not sure what day IS a good day to die hard but everyday is a good day to not watch this movie" Iconic.
Dutch scientists have determined that Wednesday is the best day to Die Hard.
I gotta say that I've seen just about every Bruce Willis movie and the man definitely has range. He can be an action, comedy, drama, and even thrillers. He was probably one of the best actors I grew up watching without a doubt.
I loved Split and that cameo ending had me screaming too. Same situation, even. No one understood why I was getting so excited but I couldn't contain myself.
The Expendables scene being the way it was, was for 2 reasons:
Schwarzenegger was still governor and couldn't afford to do much more.
Bruce Willis was cast at the last moment, after other actors couldn't/wouldn't take the part.
"Come out to the coast... We'll get together, and have a few laughs..."
Very tricky with that accent Hans. You ought to be on f%&*#n TV with that accent.
Die Hard with a vengeance opening scene was perfect remember
Simon Says was supposed to be Brandon Lee's vehicle. Lee had signed a 3 picture deal with first being Rapid Fire, Rapid Fire 2 and Simon Says. I think at one point Brandon Lee was supposed to play opposite Bruce Lee for Simon Says/Die Hard with a Vengeance but sadly passed away in 1993.
I loved the video. Most of our thoughts about Bruce Willis is the same. From 1995 to 2005 I watched all of his films and loved most of them. After 2000s his films became worse and worse. It was getting much hard to watch them. I think this is not only his fault. Hollywood films are getting worse and worse. Not only he bored, we bored of Hollywood films.
Giving this a thumbs down due to the 10 adds. I mean really?
There were some 'mercials, yo.
You need to pay for RUclips premium. No ads
@@bmcgrath45 or I can not watch videos with to many adds. I don't mind a few adds but ten? No thanks.

Stop complaining for what's free for you in the first place 🙄
Hudson Hawk is one of my Guilty Pleasures, the movie is a mess though, a remake with just the catburgler-comedy/crime drama focus would be sweet
12 Monkeys is my favorite movie. Wow that was a good one. 😉
Me too. I was wondering where it fell in the time line of his career.
Great flick.
That was probably his best acting
me too I love the hell out of that movie and Bruce Willis is one of my all time favorite actors..I don't think 12 monkeys is my favorite from him but it never gets old..I remember first seeing it when I was 11 in 96 and it confused the hell out of me but I'm a sucker for time travel and I kept watching it over and over and finally when I was like 23 I began to understand it..mostly at least..some things I'm still confused about
Bruce Willis is what happens when actors start believing they are as badass as their movie characters
I don’t think he ever believed that at all, especially alongside Arnie & Stallone as the Hollywood Action stars of their day. His insecurity is pretty plain to see however.
@@southlondon86 actually he is not just insecure but he is a real true asshole prima donna!
i disagree,
this is more like what happens when actors are badass before they are movie characters,
because ,you see when you are a badass before becoming an actor, it is then easier to act badass in movies.
its a confidence thing i think, and one needs lots of confidence to become an actor.
atleast thats what im guessing he thinks lol
Mercury rising was great movie did you watch it ? Best Willis movie
That rather applies to Seagal, Willis simply went on full Marlon Brando after his 50th birthday.
I actually worked on Die Hard 3 and the story was that Bruce had loudly complained that unions and crew wages were the reasons that more films weren't being made. This didn't sit well with workers making a tiny fraction of his multi-million salary and at the end of the day Bruce found his car coated with spit and and urine.
As a union employee, I applaud his sentiment.
So a die hard 3 staff meeting kicked off.....lets put willis car into a mess....the best you could do,,,was spit...and urine....lol...he probably didnt even notice it.....In Ireland......he wouldnt find his car.
He was probably right, though. Unions always screw things up.
At least you can order your own food still
@@abubaca2683 "I wonder why nobody likes unions"
I seriously think the great Josh Hartnet deserve this video treatment.
Admit it, you only even remembered him because this video mentions "Lucky Number Sleven".
ADMIT IT!
Exaclty. I don’t remember a one movie by him since 2006
Josh Hotnett
@@thevisionary2007 he was also in Sin City, two movies with Bruce and something intersting is that he was a selling point of the movie even when he was just in two scenes in the movie
@@Gottico69 Yep, Love Sin City, and the sequel, even though it wasn't as popular.
At first, I thought you were referring to Willis, then I saw which thread this was on.
Yes Hartnet bookended the movie. And the opening scene wasn't just a selling point for the audience, it was the big selling point to Frank Miller to get the movie made in the first place! So happy that it worked!
But "Sleven" was Hartnet's biggest movie that I can think of, and super awesome!
"Nobody should care who bruce willis vote's for"..
He played a good villian in The Jackal
"You just got to have a little faith."
One of my Bruce Willis fav role.
He finally made Jack Black shout up.
@@mitch45ac that shook me tbh, I wasn't ready for that
Oh yeah, he certainly did. Very good performance!
You better Edit this now. We know now wtf happened with Bruce. Truely sad. As he said in one of his lastet interviews, he just wanted to do as much as he could, and have fun, while he still could.
