Antoine Fuqua and the legendary actor hated each other during the filming of this movie

The last cowboy of action movies retired two years ago. Bruce Willis He abruptly ended his career due to aphasia, a disease that affected his ability to express himself. Months later, it was learned that he also suffered from some serious frontotemporal dementia. Bruce Willis, who began acting to overcome his stutter, is no longer able to speak or read. Detective Knight: Last Mission It was Willis’s bittersweet farewell after acting for Tarantino, De Palma, Shyamalan and McTiernan. It can be rented in Spain on Apple TV+.

Bruce Willis was one of those names on which commercial cinema of the eighties, nineties and early two thousand was built. His assault on the skies of Hollywood caught him working as a waiter, when he showed up to audition for Moon spell. They were looking for a kind of Cary Grant on parole. To a sex bomb whose “I love you” were as plausible as his “You, I’ll wait for you outside.” Cybill Shepard He remembers that the first time he saw him, he felt his temperature rise several degrees. “Is this”.

Shepard and Willis’ relationship suffered ups and downs: They went from kissing at the actress’s house to yelling at each other on set. When Moonlight aired, Willis acknowledged that, by then, he and Shepard were not “getting along very well” and would never work together again. It was not Willis’s last brush with a filming partner, as he well knew. Antoine Fuqua when he rolled with the action hero The sun’s tears.

What happened between Bruce Willis and Antoine Fuqua?

If there is a man in Hollywood who has been in as many shootouts, fights and impossible missions as Bruce Willis, it is Antoine Fuqua. Him, however, on the other side of the camera. Director of Training day, The Equalizer either shooter rolled The sun’s tears with Willis in 2003. And the experience was not very satisfactory.

The movie, available on Apple TV+ and Rakuten TV for rental and sale, is not the most brilliant title of either of the two involved, who did not collaborate again. Its box office fell below expectations and negative reviews intensified, whether due to the hackneyed nature of the proposal (by the 2000s, Bruce Willis had already saved the world too many times) or due to the alleged right-wing nature of the message.

In 2014, Fuqua described Willis as “the biggest headache” of his career. Although she acknowledged that, off camera, they had a good relationship, The sun’s tears He separated them. Willis’s notoriously indomitable character did not harmonize with Fuqua’s prominent personality. In this fight, no one made concessions, and filming moved forward in fits and starts. The tension reached such a point that, to reduce it as much as possible, both made a pact: they would never work together again.

From there, they relaxed enough to finish the movie. In fact, the greatest tragedy of The sun’s tears It was not the friction between Willis and Fuqua, but the death of a stuntman. The specialist was supposed to parachute onto the coast, but a miscalculation placed his landing on the high seas, and he drowned.
