Die Hard – Bruce Willis

“Die Hard”? Indeed. But did this movie really take a toll on Bruce Willis’ life? At the time, Willis was a television actor, and his involvement in this film solidified his position as an action icon. Even today, passionate debates erupt about whether “Die Hard” qualifies as a Christmas movie.

While “Die Hard” undeniably catapulted Bruce Willis into a cinematic career, the journey came with a significant sacrifice: his hearing. A mishap during filming resulted in partial deafness in his left ear. While the role of John McClane held immense significance for Willis, the loss of two-thirds of his hearing in exchange for stardom likely proved to be a steep price.
