Bruce Willis built his Hollywood career around a quality that became almost synonymous with his screen presence: confidence. Whether delivering a sharp one-liner in Die Hard , commanding a scene with effortless charisma or turning an ordinary character into an unlikely hero, Willis had a way of making even the most difficult moments appear manageable.
Long before becoming one of Hollywood's most recognisable stars, Willis was a bartender from New Jersey who had struggled with a childhood stutter. Acting eventually helped him overcome the difficulty, paving the way for a career that would span television, action blockbusters and critically acclaimed films.
