Bruce Willis later replied to Stallone’s tweet by sharing it with Express that he is a ‘bit bored’ with the ‘explosions’ he does, “Explosions are one of the most boring parts of my job. When you have seen a few fireballs, it’s not exciting anymore. Part of my audience enjoys the explosions but to be honest, I’m a bit bored with it.”
The Cobra star shared “I’ve worked in all sorts of films, but the action movies are the ones that generate the most revenue. I like to earn lots of money but I do all types: small productions, mega-projects, medium-sized, even science fiction.”
Though, both the stars ultimately made the amends where Sylvester Stallone even wrote on social media that he had made up with ‘Bruce Willis’ and accepted his mistake.
He will be appearing in the upcoming Amazon movie Samaritan which is scheduled to be released on August 26, 2022, while Bruce Willis will be appearing in Die Like Lovers which is set to release in September 2022.
