AceShowbiz - Bruce Willis and Kevin Smith first worked together for "Live Free or Die Hard", in which the latter had a small role. The "Mallrats" director got a good impression of the German-born actor at the time so that he wanted to work together again with him. But he changed his mind after they reunited for "Cop Out", which Smith directed.
Not one who is good at keeping things private, the filmmaker/comic book writer aired out his frustration of Willis' work ethic in his memoir "Tough S**t", describing the actor as a deeply unhappy lazy-a** who "fostered an unpleasant and unproductive working environment whenever he was on set." In 2019, however, the two ended their feud after they talked on the phone.
