Liam Neeson has had Bruce Willis on his mind. The actor is starring in his latest action movie titled "Memory," which opens on April 29. In it, he plays a deadly assassin as he faces Alzheimer’s.
There’ll never be another action hero like Bruce Willis

Die Hard. Ol’ Blue Eyes had first refusal as he’d been the star of 1968’s The Detective, which like Die Hard was based on author Roderick Thorp’s thriller novels. When the 70-year-old crooner confirmed his terrorist-fighting days were long behind him, producers went straight to the most obvious candidate: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Terminator, Commando and Predator star said no, preferring to try his hand at comedy alongside Danny DeVito in Twins. The rejections kept coming: Richard Gere, Burt Reynolds, Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Nick Nolte, Don Johnson and Mel Gibson all passed. Way down the list was Bruce Willis.
He passed too, citing commitments to Moonlighting, the private detective TV show in which he starred opposite Cybill Shepherd. Then, the fates aligned. “As it turns out, a miracle happened,” Willis told Entertainment Weekly in 2007.
“Cybill Shepherd got pregnant and they shut down the show for 11 weeks – just the right amount of time for me to run around over at Nakatomi Tower. ”Willis’ blockbuster turn as John McClane didn’t just change his own life, transforming him overnight from a likeable TV favourite into a bankable A-list movie star, it also redefined what it meant to be an action hero. Before the dawn of Willis, stars of gung-ho Eighties movies had been built like invincible monoliths.
His appeal was different: funnier, more vulnerable, more human. He ended up more than earning the $5m Gordon and Silver paid him. “In this crazy world we live in, Bruce was worth the money, every penny,” Gordon told The New York Times in 1988.
