Today, this actor is known and popular around the world. His participation in films is a guarantee of the success of the picture. The images created by him are natural and realistic. This is a universal actor who can handle any role from comic to tragic.
Childhood
The future actor, producer and businessman was born in March nineteen fifty-fifth in the very small German town of Idar-Oberstein, which is located between France and Luxembourg. The father of the future actor is an American. In those days he was a military man, but he got into this town on business affairs, and there he met his wife.
Bruce's mom is German. Her name was Marlene. At that time, she served in the local branch of a large bank. Willis's parents divorced in nineteen seventy-two. When the child was two years old, the family moved to the United States, the city of New Jersey. Together with Bruce, a sister and two brothers grew up, one of whom died at an early age. Bruce Willis, whose photo you see in this article, grew up the most ordinary boy, who was no different from his friends. Almost nothing. The fact is that in childhood the boy stuttered very much and was very complex about this. He had to endure a lot of ridicule from peers and classmates. Despite this flaw, Bruce began to attend the school drama theater and was surprised to notice that on the stage his stutter disappeared in some miraculous way. So the young man became interested in theater and music. Then it seemed to Bruce that this was just a hobby, an activity that gives him pleasure.
In the eighties, he recorded two country music solo albums. I must say that today the famous actor did not abandon his youthful hobby - he is part of the main group of The Accelerators, which mainly performs the blues.
Carier start
Despite the reverent love for the theater, the young man never connected his future profession with creativity. Yes, and in his surroundings no one could have imagined that in just a few years everyone would be watching with enthusiasm a movie with Bruce Willis. After graduating from school, the guy worked at a chemical plant, served as a security guard, worked as a driver. So began the work of Bruce.
When he entered Montclair College, he had the opportunity to play on the stage of the student theater. It was then that Willis thought about the career of an actor. The young man went to New York. Here he began to take part in Broadway musicals, to appear in commercials. I really wanted to act in films, and he was offered to advertise jeans.
Bruce Willis did not leave his dream to become an actor, so he regularly went to auditions, offering his candidacy for various roles. At that time, the young man still could not say in which films he would like to star in comedies, tragedies or action films. One day, luck smiled at him, and he was selected from more than three thousand applicants for the role in the series, which was destined to become one of the most popular at that time - "Detective Agency" Moonlight ". It was the role of David Edisson. The series was released in 1985. His show ended only in 1989. Throughout the world, this film has become incredibly popular. Actor Bruce Willis, whose filmography begins with this picture, bathed in the rays of world fame.
After the series, experts unanimously recognized that Willis is an excellent comedian, and his role is comedy.
Bruce Willis: Die Hard
In 1988, a very famous actor received an invitation to a major role in an action-packed action movie. Bruce Willis, whose filmography at that time was just beginning to take shape, after this picture became a world star. Since then, the actor has received an Emmy Award several times. His star took her place of honor on the famous "Walk of Fame" in Hollywood.
There are not many actors in the world today who are as popular as Bruce Willis. Filmography (a list of films with his participation) has more than a hundred paintings. However, the image of a lone hero from Die Hard is considered by many to be the most successful. His actor has used in his career more than once. For example, in the movie "The Fifth Element" by Luc Besson.
... and not only
The best films with Bruce Willis are always remembered for a long time. Regardless of when a particular picture was shot, it can be reviewed endlessly. This is a special acting talent, which undoubtedly possesses Bruce Willis. “Baby” is a comedy released in 2000. It belongs to family cinema, and if today you review it with your family, you will surely get real pleasure.
Recall the earlier role that Bruce Willis played. "Jackal" is a thriller, thriller. In this tape, the actor acted as an elite killer. He is very inventive and cunning. It is almost impossible to neutralize. This picture is able to keep in suspense until the last minute.
Another outstanding role played by Bruce Willis is a loner. We are talking about the 1996 film "Single Hero", in which the actor brilliantly played the main role - the tramps of John Smith. The latter is hiding from law enforcement and is in the city of Jericho, where two gang groups are operating.
The Hostage (2005)
Of the later works, one more action movie should definitely be highlighted, where the actor played the main role. Probably, many have already guessed that we are talking about the film "Hostage". Bruce Willis played the role of negotiator Jeff Talley, who is being transferred to the province as a sheriff.
Red (2010)
Listing the best films with Bruce Willis, one can not stop at this comedy thriller. In it, the actor played the main role. I must say that in recent years, Willis has increasingly begun to talk about being tired of the roles of supermen. He would like to work more in comedies. Perhaps this is why this film, combining both a detective story and a comedy, pleased the actor. What attracted him to the film "Red"? Bruce Willis appreciated the subtle and very kind humor of this picture.
Recession period
Today it seems that Willis has always been popular and in demand, but this is not so. His career also knew periods of decline. For example, in the early nineties he did not have interesting roles. During this period, Bruce Willis could already afford to choose from the proposed roles those that were closer to him. We can distinguish only “Pulp Fiction” (1994) by K. Tarantino, in which Willis once again proved that we have a completely unique actor. In this film, he appeared before his fans in a slightly different role, far from the established image of the savior of mankind. However, this role has long pursued the actor, not allowing him to reveal himself in a new capacity. In the famous movie "The Fifth Element," Bruce again has to save the world. After this work, there was a prolonged pause, which was interrupted by the picture “The Sixth Sense” in the year nineteen ninety-nine. In this tape, he managed to perform in an unexpected role. Bruce played a famous psychologist trying to help a boy who sees the dead. The picture was very warmly received by fans of the actor, and severe critics.
Personal life
Probably, it is not necessary to say that this talented actor and chic man never suffered from a lack of fans. He had beautiful novels with Maria Bravo, Emily Sandberg, Brooke Burns. But it is quite obvious that the inimitable Demi Moore left the most vivid and unforgettable mark in his life.
The star couple met in 1987 on the set of the movie "Police Post". At this time, young people were both treated in rehabilitation clinics for alcohol dependence. Soon the wedding took place. Three daughters were born in the marriage - Talula, Scout, Rumer. For thirteen years, this couple seemed the most stable in the Hollywood environment, but in the two thousandth year the marriage, and unexpectedly for many, broke up. Former spouses managed to maintain good friendly relations. Demi Moore once again married a talented American actor who was much younger than her - Ashton Kutcher.
Bruce once admitted that he and his ex-wife and children go on vacation. Yes, and they live in the neighborhood - Willis just cross the road to see his girls.
The actor met his new love in 2009. She became Emma Hamming. This is a famous fashion model who is twenty-three years younger than her husband. In 2012, she gave birth to a daughter, with which you can congratulate the spouses. In early May, two thousand fourteen, the good news came from the United States - Bruce became the father of another daughter, who gave birth to Emma in Los Angeles. The girl was given a beautiful name - Evelyn.

Bruce Willis: filmography-2013
This year, the actor starred a little less than in the previous one, two thousand and twelve. First of all, “Throw Cobra-2”, where he played the role of General Joe Colton, should be mentioned. This film belongs to the genre of science fiction. Then he played the main role in the long-awaited continuation of the picture that everyone loved - “Die Hard-5”. In addition, the actor starred in the sequel to the action movie "RED-2."
Secret of success
Many are interested in the question: why is a movie with Bruce Willis so popular? Unlike the heroes of Stallone or Schwarzenegger, who almost never smiled while holding a machine gun, the heroes of Bruce conquer the viewer with their sense of humor. They are not averse to "joking", but on occasion, and recall how cool they are, in between cases killing villains and villains. It should be noted that even the on-screen murder that Willis commits is always accompanied by the catchphrase of the famous wit.
In addition, we must pay tribute to the courage of this man - he is never afraid to experiment with his image. He enjoyed working on roles that were very far from the image of a “tough” guy.
Despite the incredible popularity of this actor around the world, he does not have the awards that almost all representatives of this profession dream of. On its shelves there are no Oscars, and the walls of the luxury house are not hung with diplomas and diplomas of film critics. This fact does not bother the Hollywood star at all (in any case, he says that). Enormous spectator love and large fees are enough for him.
Bruce Willis, whose filmography includes more than a hundred works, today is full of strength and creative plans. Once the actor said that he would play his best role in the interval between forty and sixty years. So his fans expect new and interesting works from their idol.
