ACTOR BRUCE WILLIS

Bruce Willis has appeared in over 70 films and is widely considered an “action hero”, due to his portrayal of John McClane in the Die Hard franchise (1988–2013) and other roles. He thus received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006. He also starred with Tracy Morgan in the comedy Cop Out, which was directed by Kevin Smith and two police detectives who investigated the theft of baseball cards . The film was then released in February 2010.

He appeared in the music video for the song known as “Pen” by Gorillaz. He also appeared in a 2010 cameo with former Planet Hollywood co-owners and ’80s action stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie The Expendables. He also played the role of the generic bald man “Mr. Church was the first time the three notable action movie actors had appeared onscreen together.

The scene with the three was short and it was one of the most anticipated scenes in the film. The trio filmed their scene in an empty church on October 24, 2009. He starred in RED, which is an adaptation of the comic book miniseries of the same name, where he portrayed Frank Moses. The film was then released on October 15, 2010. He starred with Bill Murray, Edward Norton and Frances McDormand in the Moonrise Kingdom (2012).

Filming took place in Rhode Island under the direction of Wes Anderson, in 2011. He returned, in an expanded role, in The Expendables 2 (2012) where he appeared with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the action film science fiction Looper in (2012), the older version of Gordon-Levitt’s character, Joe. Willis teamed up with 50 Cent in the David Barrett-directed film Fire with Fire, starring Josh Duhamel and Rosario Dawson, about a firefighter who must save the love of his life.

He joined Vince Vaughn and Catherine Zeta-Jones in Lay the Favorite, directed by Stephen Frears, about the Las Vegas cocktail waitress who becomes an elite professional gambler. Both films were distributed by Lionsgate Entertainment. He reprized his most famous role, John McClane, for the fifth time, in the film A Good Day to Die Hard, released on February 14, 2013.

In his interview, he said: “I have a warm spot in my heart for Die Hard…it’s just the sheer novelty of being able to play the same character for over 25 years and he was still asked if it was. was fun. It’s much harder to have to remake a movie and try to compete with myself, which is what I do in Die Hard. He tried to improve his work each time. He was hosted on Saturday Night Live with Katy Perry as a musical guest on October 12, 2013.

He also starred in the film known as the video game adaptation Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, named Kane & Lynch. He made his Broadway debut in William Goldman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Misery opposite Laurie Metcalf at the Broadhurst Theater in 2015. In 2018 it was announced that Willis would be the next to be roasted at Comedy Central. His feature films grossed between $2.64 billion and $3.05 billion at North American box offices, making him the eighth-highest-grossing actor in a leading role in 2010 and the 12th, including his supporting roles.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF BRUCE WILLIS

He owns homes in Los Angeles and Penns Grove, New Jersey. He also rents apartments at Trump Tower and also in Riverside South, Manhattan. Bruce and his business partner Arnold Rifkin started a motion representing production company Cheyenne Enterprises in 2000. He then left the company to be run by Rifkin in 2007 after Live Free or Die Hard.

He also owns several small businesses in Hailey, Idaho, including The Mint Bar and The Liberty Theater and is the co-founder of Planet Hollywood, along with actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. In 2009, he signed a contract to become the international face of Belvedere SA’s Sobieski Vodka in exchange for a 3.3% stake in the company.

BRUCE WILLIS POLITICAL VIEWPOINTS

Willis and his wife Demi Moore campaigned for the presidential candidacy of Democratic Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis. After four years, he backed President George HW Bush for re-election and was an outspoken critic of Bill Clinton. Bruce declined the endorsement of Clinton’s Republican opponent Bob Dole because Dole criticized Demi Moore for her role in the movie Striptease.

He was a guest speaker at the 2000 Republican National Convention, he supported George W. Bush that year. He made no public contributions or endorsements during the 2008 presidential campaign. In June 2007, he stated that he maintained certain Republican ideologies. In 2006, he declared that the United States should intervene more in Colombia, in order to put an end to the drug trade.

In his several interviews, he said he supported high salaries for teachers and police officers, and expressed disappointment in the United States for favoring the healthcare system as well as the treatment of Native Americans. He has also stated that he is a supporter of gun rights, stating: “Everyone has the right to bear arms. If you take the guns away from legal gun owners, the only people left with the guns are the bad guys.

Willis was in Manhattan promoting his film 16 Blocks to reporters in February 2006. One of the reporters tried to ask Willis about his opinion of the current government but was cut off by him mid-sentence: I I’m tired of answering this fucking question. He said he was a Republican – just insofar as I want smaller government, I want less government intrusion.

He wants them to stop shitting on my money and your money and the taxes we give 50% every year. Willis wants them to be fiscally responsible and I want those fucking lobbyists out of Washington. Do that and I’ll say I’m a Republican. I hate the government, okay? I am apolitical. Write that down. I am not a Republican. Bruce’s name appeared in the August 17, 2006 Los Angeles Times ad, which condemned Hamas and Hezbollah and supported Israel in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war.

BRUCE WILLIS MILITARY INTERESTS

Throughout his film career, he has portrayed in several military characters and films such as In Country, The Siege, Hart’s War, Tears of the Sun, Grindhouse, and GI Joe: Retaliation. Growing up in a military family, Willis publicly sold Girl Scout cookies for the United States Armed Forces. Bruce then purchased 12,000 boxes of cookies, which they distributed to sailors aboard the USS John F. Kennedy and other troops stationed throughout the Middle East at that time.

Willis traveled to Iraq as part of the USO tour, singing to the troops with his 2003 band, The Accelerators. He wanted to join the army and help fight the second war in Iraq, but he was discouraged by his age. He offered $1 million to noncombatants who denounced terrorist leaders Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi; in the June 2007 issue of Vanity Fair, however, he clarified the statement which was hypothetically taken literally. He criticized the media for their coverage of the war, complaining that the press was more likely to focus on the negative aspects of the war.

He then went to Iraq because of what he saw when there were soldiers, young children, mostly helping people in Iraq; help get the power back on, help open the hospitals, help get the water back on and you hear none of that on the news. You hear, “X number of people were killed today,” which I think is doing a huge disservice. It’s like spitting on those young men and women who are fighting to help this country.

BRUCE WILLIS IN POPULAR CULTURE

Bruce was a Lutheran at one time, but he no longer practices. In his July 1998 interview with George magazine, he said: that organized religions in general, in my view, are dying forms. They were all important when we didn’t know why the sun moved, why the weather changed, why hurricanes happened, and why volcanoes happened. Modern religion is the end of modern mythology. But there are people who interpret the Bible literally. Literally! he chooses not to believe that it is so. And that’s what makes America cool, you know?
