Die Hard 4.0 premieres in U.K.
Last night in London the Die Hard 4.0 premiere took place. Bruce Willis who plays the main character told reporters that with the age it’s becoming very hard for him to play an action hero.
The launch of the latest Die Hard film comes 12 years after 52-year-old Willis was last seen as wise-cracking cop John McClane.
It is almost two decades when the first part of Die Hard was screened and made Bruce Willis an A-list actor.
In the latest film Willis’ character is seen battling to save the world from cyber-terrorists, but the actor acknowledged that playing the New York detective wasn’t quite as easy as it used to be.
In an interview outside the Empire cinema in London’s Leicester Square, Willis joked: ”I used to bounce off the concrete a lot easier than I do now. There were a couple of weeks where from my hip to my ankle I was black and blue. I got knocked out, I got some stitches. I wish I’d kept a scrapbook of it all”, he added.
Die Hard 4.0 which in America is known with the title Live Free or Die Hard is to open for general release in U.K. on July 4th.
Meanwhile, although Willis may be struggling to maintain the image of a tough hero on screen, he has clearly not been put off the challenge of fatherhood.
In a recent interview the actor who has three daughters from his previous marriage with ex-wife Demi Moore revealed that he would love to have a son but haven’t met the right woman yet.
“That’s the good thing about being a guy - it doesn’t matter how old you are”, he said.
