8 Huge Movie Stars We Wish Would Disappear
8. Bruce Wilis
How has the John McClane managed to plummet from the heights of Nakatomi Plaza to the depths of the bargain bin?
Bruce Wilis managed to make a good name for himself in the mid 80s as a comedic lead in the series Moonlighting. It seemed that romantic comedy roles would be his lot, which isn't a bad way to do it. But, the man turned into a legend after being cast in Die Hard and becoming an action icon.
At first, people laughed at the idea of this everyman being an action hero, but he proved the doubters wrong and ended up moving the genre away from the burly likes of Stallone and Schwarzenegger in favour of more relatable heroes. He even broke typecast with some critically acclaimed dramatic performances. But would you look at him now?
The modern Bruce Wilis is a man who stars in a drove of discount DVD action flicks with nothing to distinguish between them. Sure, a man's got to make a living, but surely there are ways for him to do it without sullying his star-studded reputation.
In 2022 alone, the man has eleven of these movies ready to come out - a ridiculous number that's sure to ensure his filmography is eventually weighted more towards the bad than good.
It's sad to see the former Hollywood megastar in such a position, which is why his fans would rather he took off and left his legacy intact.
