Bruce Willis is not a hero; he just plays one in the movies. That didn’t stop him, of course, from offering up a million dollar bounty for the capture of Osama Bin Laden, but hey, at least he’s staying in character during his off time. Perhaps his extreme patriotism is due to the fact that he was born on a military base, in West Germany to be exact, in 1955. Only two years later, Bruce’s father was discharged from the military and the family was moved to New Jersey where he spent a majority of his childhood. After graduating from high school, where he was a member of the drama club, Bruce worked at a factory and played several bars with his R&B group Loose Goose. It was many years before he would actually return to acting, but when he finally did, it didn’t take long before his career skyrocketed.

Hollywood actor Bruce Willis has no deal with his age, because the same thought of worrying adds wrinkles.

Upon reading that movie-star-of-the-internet-people Bruce Willis had virtually kneecapped Armageddon director Michael Bay ("Bay...Would have ruined DH4. Few people will work with him now, and I know I will never work with him again.") while communing with his fans on the AICN message boards, we had a feeling it wouldn't be long before Bay used his own online forum to retaliate against his mouthy ex-collaborator. With an emotional mixture of hurt, disbelief, and defiance far more complex than any moment in one of his movies, a wounded Bay responds: more

Bruce Willis hit it big in 1988 as a scrappy action hero John McClane in the terrorists-in-the-skyscraper film Die Hard. Willis grew up in New Jersey and began acting in college. Partnered with Cybill Shepherd in the TV detective romance Moonlighting (1985-89), Willis became a TV star. During the show's run he made the leap to the big screen, starring in Blind Date with Kim Basinger before his turn as disillusioned cop John McClane in Die Hard. The film was a smashing success and spawned three sequels, Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990), Die Hard With A Vengeance (1995, with Samuel L. Jackson), and Live Free or Die Hard (2007). Willis followed up his Die Hard success with action films good and bad (including the notorious 1991 flop Hudson Hawk) and his 12-year marriage to Demi Moore was constant fodder for the gossip sheets.
