Difficult Actors to Work With3 of 48
Bruce Willis
Was known for being difficult and grumpy throughout much of his career.
Willis' behavior was one of the many problems posed during the extremely tumultuous production of The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990). He was rude to nearly everyone on the set and would regularly challenge Brian De Palma's direction.
Willis was also famously very difficult and hostile during the filming of Cop Out (2010). He constantly clashed with director Kevin Smith and refused to take any direction, with Smith claiming he "wouldn't even sit for a fucking poster shoot". Smith described working with Willis as 'soul-crushing' and also said that, were it not for co-star Tracy Morgan, "I might have killed either myself or someone else in the making of fucking Cop Out." At the film's wrap party, Smith said, "I want to thank everybody who worked on the film, except Bruce Willis, who is a fucking dick".
Willis was also fired from The Expendables 3 (2014) due to his demands for a salary increase, with Sylvester Stallone calling him 'greedy and lazy'.
