Hollywood action hero
No one brings hard hitting action to the screen like Bruce Willis, and the now-retired actor has starred in plenty of memorable cinematic hits over the past few decades.
From thrillers like The Sixth Sense to Tarantino blockbuster Pulp Fiction, sci-fi favorite The Fifth Element, and all-time classic Die Hard, it's fair to say the action genre wouldn't be what it is without Bruce.

Bruce isn't the only famous Willis sibling: brother David has also had a hand in the showbiz industry. The well-seasoned film producer has worked on several of Bruce's projects, including Die Hard: With a Vengeance, A Good Day to Die Hard and The Who Nine Yards.
He's also found success outside family lines, with movies like Hostage, Hudson Hawk and Bandits. David even took a turn on screen in comedy The Return of Bruno.

Unlike Bruce, the actor's only sister Florence likes to keep a low profile. Born in 1956, she is just a year younger than the Die Hard star.
At 23 years old, she married Daniel Rogers and the pair have welcomed four children. Per IMDb, Florence worked as a narrator and starred as herself in 2022 short film The Dormant Language of Love.

Bruce sadly lost his younger brother Robert on June 26, 2001. The website designer had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just six weeks prior. Bruce flew back and forth from rehearsals for True West in Idaho and Robert's home in Massachusetts to spend time with his brother in his final weeks.
After Robert passed, Bruce recalled his courage to the New York Post, explaining: "'He said, 'Look, this does not scare me. I accept this, and I know that you guys are going to grieve, but don't grieve too hard. It's a good message to people – to live it up, you know."
