12 Iconic Movie Characters Who Aren't As Cool As You Remember

10. John McClane - Die Hard Series

He's divorced and lost custody of the kids who hate him - and working on Christmas eve, too! As cool as Bruce Willis' John McClane may appear to be at first glance, ask yourself: would you want to be him? A lonely man who fights terrorists who are a lot cooler than he is (who wouldn't want Alan Rickman's voice?!) and recites his own cheesy catchphrase, even when there's no-one else around to hear it? Nobody, that's who. Not only this, but McClane has already overstayed his welcome by at least two Die Hard movies, and it wouldn't be surprising if he pushed on for another. You know those people who used to be fun, but then keep relying on the same one-trick that they have whenever you see them, thus diluting the fun? If you don't have friends like that, it means you're John McClane - and that might not be a good thing after all.
