The actor’s Bible always recommends avoiding movies with children – they’ll steal every scene they’re in.

Distancing himself from this golden rule, Bruce Willis has always interracted well with his younger co-stars – notably in “Mercury Rising” and “The Sixth Sense” – whilst never being overshadowed. Sixty last year, the actor would be wise to ditch the formulaic actioners, and consciously seek scripts with real human interest. He’s really rather good at it.

In a 2013 interview with the Spanish magazine XLS, the actor whined about the worst part of his job. He told the publication, “Explosions are one of the most boring parts of my job. When you have seen a few fireballs, its not exciting anymore. I know part of my audience enjoys the explosions, but to be honest, I’m a bit bored of it now.” Mounting evidence therefore, of increased frustration with the whole ‘action hero’ genre, a point he would ram home by pulling out of “Expendables 3” at the pre-production stage.

Bored with most of his work yet consumed with the large pay cheques. It’s an artistic cul-de-sac and an issue he needs to address once and for all; those rambling disinterested interviews he gave to British audiences in 2013 winning him few friends.
