Bruce Willis & his dubbing voice Manfred Lehmann

Walter Bruce Willis spent the first two years of his life in his birthplace in Rhineland-Palatinate. He later lived with his family in New Jersey, where he also completed his acting studies. 

 

Bruce Willis was married to actress Demi Moore from 1987 to 2000. They have three daughters together. Willis has been married to model Emma Heming since 2009. They also have two daughters together.

 

In 1988, he had his international breakthrough with the movie "Die Hard" in the role of John McClane, which he also played in the four sequels. Since then, it has been impossible to imagine Hollywood without the action hero, who has appeared in more than 140 productions.

 

After the first two parts of the "Die Hard" series, the next box office hit was a few years away. It was then Bruce Willis' portrayal of a broken boxer in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", which was highly praised by critics. From then on, productions that achieved worldwide fame followed every year: "12 Monkeys", "The Fifth Element" and "Armageddon", for example. In addition to action thrillers, audiences were also able to see him in dramas (e.g. "The Sixth Sense", "Unbreakable") and comedies (e.g. "Death Suits Her", "R.E.D."). 

 

After Willis was diagnosed with the brain disease aphasia, his family informed fans in early 2022 that he would be retiring. He shot his last film "Assassin - Every Body Is A Weapon" in 2023.

 

22 awards & 53 nominations
