WTF Happened to Bruce Willis?

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question of where these fine folks went, how they got there, and where you can find 'em now.

There's no doubt that Bruce Willis ranks with the greatest movie stars of all time. From his time as the fast-talking private eye on "Moonlighting" to his breakthrough in DIE HARD, through his more dramatic turns in PULP FICTION, THE SIXTH SENSE, and more, he's the best of the best. But, in recent years his output has been filled with disposable, DTV junk where his roles are supporting at best, and often unworthy of his talent, a fact he seems to realize given his listless performances. So let's take a look at how Willis got here, and how despite everything, there are still flashes of the old Bruce Willis in movies like GLASS and LOOPER.
