How Old Bruce Willis Was In Every Die Hard Movie

Bruce Willis was well into his career when it took a major upturn with the first Die Hard movie, and it’s interesting to see how old the actor was then compared to his age by the franchise’s end. Mostly known at the time for playing the wise-cracking Detective David Addison Jr. on Moonlighting, Willis made the jump from TV comedy to blockbuster action movies when he got the opportunity to play the heroic cop John McClane in 1988’s Die Hard. Indulging in realistic stunts and delivering instantly quotable one-liners, Willis became the face of a new kind of everyman-driven action cinema just before hitting middle age.
