Here's what happened: Mr. Die Hard Franchise seems to be maturing into a cranky old man. Apparently he was offered $3 million dollars for four days of work on Expendibles 3 and that wasn't good enough.
Sources who worked on the production told The Hollywood Reporter that Willis said he would drop out if he didn't get $4 million dollars. (He was getting $3 million dollars for 4 days of work and he wasn't happy...can you imagine what he's like at home?)
Meanwhile Mr. Rocky Franchise seems like he's been putting up with Willis' sh-t for years because faster than you can say, "Yo Adrienne!" he reached out to his buddy Harrison Ford.
Ford, by all accounts, is a nice guy and dream to work with. He signed on and Willis received his walking papers. Willis was surprised that he was so quickly replaced. (Cue "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce) Meanwhile Stallone, bless his heart, made time in his busy schedule to throw social media shade at Willis. He took to Twitter and wrote:
"WILLIS OUT . . . HARRISON FORD IN!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!," Stallone gleefully tweeted, then added, "GREEDY AND LAZY . . . A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE."
Stallone is correct.
Ordinarily, someone losing a job would be a sad thing but it appears Willis had it coming. He must have some fast-acting karma because earlier in the week he was super arrogant to a nice reporter at the press junket for Red 2.
Maybe it's time for Bruce to start a gratitude journal.
Wow, I'm always amazed at how much money actors make. I think some fans will be shocked at his attitude, but on the other hand, people worship actors like idols and sometimes get their feelings stepped on when one falls from the pedastle they've been set up on. I'm sure Bruce will get another job.
