Bruce Willis’ 2010 film, “Cop Out,” was a box office success, bringing in over $55 million, according to The Numbers. But that’s not to say the vibe on set was always, well, a vibe. In fact, the film’s director Kevin Smith has previously spoken of it being a challenging experience, thanks to his rocky relationship with Willis.
The details of their rift are a little murky, however. Despite rumors that he called Willis a “f***ing d***” at the film’s wrap party, Smith told Vulture in 2009 that there hadn’t even been a wrap party. That said, Smith referred to Willis as having “darkness” about him his 2021 autobiography, per People. “I love making movies and he does not, at all,” Smith wrote. Willis, meanwhile, has stayed mum on the matter, telling TimeOut in 2013, “I’m never going to call him out … in public. Sometimes you just don’t get along.”
Whatever really transpired on the set of “Cop Out,” it appears all has been forgiven in the wake of the Willis’ diagnosis — from Smith’s side, anyway. Taking to Twitter, Smith apologized for speaking ill of Willis in the past, writing, “Long before any of the Cop Out stuff, I was a big Bruce Willis fan – so this is really hard to read…I feel like an a**hole for my petty comments from 2010. So sorry to BW and his family.” Hopefully, this will mark the end of their feud.
