One Of Bruce Willis’ Directors Gets Real About What It Was Like Working With Him Given His Reputation: ‘I Had Heard All The Stories’

Throughout his illustrious career, Bruce Willis made a name for himself as a premier movie star. Not only that, many have since lauded Willis for his generosity as a performer and person. The A-lister also, however, earned a reputation for being somewhat headstrong when it came to working with certain directors. Filmmaker Rian Johnson had the opportunity to work with Willis on the acclaimed sci-fi film "Looper," and he just opened up about what it was like working with the beloved star. "Looper" is easily one of Rian Johnson’s seminal films, and it not only struck gold at the box office but also received critical acclaim. (The film even influenced Denis Villeneuve’s "Arrival" when it came to time travel.) A lot had to come together for the ambitious film to get off the ground, of course. During a recent chat with Rolling Stone, Rian Johnson recalled making the flick and explained just how crucial it was for the "Die Hard" icon to sign on.
