20 Things You Didn't Know About Die Hard

1. Bruce Willis Doesn't Think It's A Christmas Movie

Last year, Bruce Willis was the recipient of a Comedy Central Roast, and during the show he went on the record to say that he didn't believe Die Hard was a Christmas movie.

Willis said, "Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It’s a god damn Bruce Willis movie!"

The debate over whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas film has raged for literally decades, especially in recent years where it's practically evolved into a meme in its own right.

Willis is clearly wrong, of course - his wife's character is even named Holly, for God's sake - but it's interesting to hear Bruce's own, admittedly ego-driven, perspective on the issue.
