Bruce Willis Replaced on The Expendables 3
So it seems that the growing noise about Bruce Willis being a bit of a tool isn’t without reason, as Sylvester Stallone recently took to Twitter to announce his delight at replacing John McClane with Han Solo:
“WILLIS OUT… HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!”
Stallone then went on to say the following about Bruce Willis:
“GREEDY AND LAZY …… A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE.”
This isn’t the first time that there have been rumblings about the actor not being willing to put in a shift: Kevin Smith famously was very disappointed when working with him on Cop Out, calling him a ‘Pay Cheque Player’ and ‘someone… who didn’t want to be there.’ Many people unfairly dismissed this as Kevin being unhappy with the lack of success for the film, but there have been other hints as well, such as with the below, cringe-inducingly awful interview Bruce gave to Magic 105.4 during the the Press for RED2:
It seems that sadly, the actor who many geeks have grown up with as a staple for awesome kickass roles is tiring of the industry, or simply of having to be nice to people.
