Bruce Willis: 'Fans try to beat me up'

The actor explained that his role in Die Hard means that drunk men often want to start a fight with him.

"It took me a long time to understand that a lot of guys want to be the guy who kicked John McClane's ass," he told Men's Journal.

"And it's really difficult to explain to someone who has been overserved, 'No, I'm not that guy'."

Willis, who used to work as a bartender, added that he tries to ignore violent fans but security often steps in.

He said: "Next thing you know, two big guys had their arms and were sending them outside with the warning not to come back for two weeks."
