Bruce Willis
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
“I think I am Bruce Willis incarnated. Therefore Bruce Willis has gone over the limits of existence, and the existence of being is the most hypocritical thing I've ever heard. Still, Bruce never fails to astonish me!”
“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, but just like dawn, Bruce's eyes always met light after darkness.”
“Found out Bruce Willis was dead at the end of Sixth Sense and I..jizzed...in..my...pants!”
Broccholeo Maria "Bruce" Willis, born in March 19th, 1950, american actor and singer. Bruce Willis is most known for the Die Hard films and his unique mix of humour and dead-face seriousness. His interpretation of the character John McClane is counted as one of the genuine symbols of the 80's as well as the whole action genre itself.

[edit] Early life
Bruce Willis was born in the small village of Glekenhoumen in Germany, where his parents worked as actors, but the family soon moved back to New York to let Bruce have an american education and upbringing. At the age of five he was introduced to the scene by his mother, and his first role was baby Jesus. After this, he says, the branch got him hooked.
At the age of nine his older brother Ken died in a car accident. This had a huge impact on Bruce. He struggled alot with the loss. He started to skip school, and his grades sunk fast. Drugs and alcohol was often a part of Bruce's life in his teenage years, and acting became more and more something that was linked with his brother, and something he could not bare with. Fights with his parents and the teachers, gangs and violence was, as he told the Rolling Stone magazine in 2006, a natural part of his life.
In 1968, the classic summer of love, he met with Allen Krouger, an young avantgarde art student, who would change his life. Allen introduced Bruce to the works of writers such as Edgar Allen Poe and Lord Byron, and his beatnik manners and hippie ideas would have an enormous impact on the 18 year old Bruce Willis. And most of all, despite Bruce's contempt for the idea, Allen Krouger brought him back to the theatre.
[edit] The life at the theatre
Through the 1970s Bruce Willis played endlessly many roles, and had a steady job as an actor at the local theatre. And he could be seen playing everything from slap-stick humour in the tradition of The Three Stooges, Charlie Chaplin in a epic story of his life (later made into a movie, with Robert Downey Jr.), Hamlet, Monty Python-esque reels, musicals, but most of all, his praised interpretitions of the works of Bertold Brecht. In 1978, after almost ten years in the theatre, Bruce was offered a movie contract. The role was once again Jesus.

[edit] The rising movie career and the returning drug abuse
Bruce rolled in to Hollywood in a Greyhound bus, and with only a suitcase in his hand and a hat on his head, his new life begun. The role of Jesus payed him 12 000$, and he was doing good. Though the movie, called "Beverly Hills Messiah" never hit the big time, many in the branch knew about it. And Bruce got more offers. He worked with Mick Jones in two of his films, playing a bus driver in both of them. These were only smaller parts, but they payed off pretty well, and would also introduce him to his lifelong friends Harvey Keitel and Sophia Loren. As times got better and he got richer and richer, the problems of his past would still be reminded. With the tragic death of Allen Krouger in 1981, Bruce fled into the haze of cocain.
Through the 1980's Bruce Willis did not really have a home. He slept at friends' couches, roamed the streets of Los Angeles, restlessly he demolished his creativity and mind. The cocain took the over hand. He was arrested numerous times, but time after time, after pleading and crying, he got out the legal problems with help from his famous friends.
[edit] Jane Glosson
Jane Glosson, then only 16 years of age, met Bruce in 1984 in one of the boulevards of Hollywood, while he was on another drug haze. They talked the whole night until dawn, she recalls, "... and since then, Bruce would come to that bolevouard at the exact same time every night, and I would meet him there. Always." Their friendship was, according to biographer Bob Maldoldydob, what changed Bruce Willis' life forever. The coming of Jane took Bruce by storm, and shook his very foundations. Jane asked him to leave the drugs behind. Bruce signed in to rehab the next day.

[edit] Moonlighting
Fresh out of rehab, a friend of his, the soulsinger James Brown, got him the part of David in the series Moonlighting. A show he would stay on for the following four years. As a thank you gesture to Brown, Bruce got him to make a singing guest apparence in the show.
[edit] Die Hard
Bruce audotioned for a role called John McClane in 1987. "I didn't think much of the script back then, and even less of the character John McClane" he later said. The role stood between him and the not-yet-famous actor Steve Buscemi. Bruce got the part, after that Buscemi fumbled with the words "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" and started yelling at the assistant. Success was a fact. And Die Hard was Bruce Willis' first big movie. Afterwords nothing would be the same. Die Hard had many sequels and Bruce decided to shave his head bald for them. He played against many stereotype "terrorist" type characters like the guy with the bad German accent, or the guy with the bad Dutch accent, different European stereotypes were used as terrorist gangsters in the film and Bruce felt that it was racist in some way. After "Die Hard VI: Differn't Strokes" Bruce was paired up against Gary Coleman and then Bruce decided that it was a negative racist portrayal of African-Americans and short people, so after that he quit the Die Hard sequels and Steve Buscemi took over in the next ones, but those next movies were not as good as when Bruce played the troublesome security guard / shoeless police officer John McClane.
[edit] The marriage with Jane
In 1990, just after the second Die Hard film topped the charts, Bruce was out walking with Sharon Stone, wich he had a short relationship with, he spotted a girl sitting in raggy clothes with a beggercup. As he looked closer, he saw it was Jane. Jane, the girl who befriended him when everyone else turned their backs. Jane, the girl of the streets. Jane with the golden heart. Now begging for survival. An angel forced into humiliation. "... Jane? Is that you?". Becouse of fear of catching deceases, Sharon Stone kissed Bruce goodbye, and ran back to her clean home. Once again Bruce's and Jane's destinys brought them together.
They married in 1993, he was 43 and she was 25. They were wed by composer Burt Bacharach and rapper Fresh Prince, good friends of them both. As the sun cracked through the clouds and shined down on the two in a very godlike way, Burt said "... And may God bless these two souls, who found eachother despite all odds." And he sure did, as Bruce later told Rolling Stone magazine.

[edit] Death of Jane and the quest for spirituality
In 2003, Jane Glosson Willis died of breastcancer. Bruce was left alone with their kids Nicky and Jesse. Devastated, he searched for answers. He found religion. Back in the days with Allen Krouger he had learned about Teeism and cults such as Jizzlam, but now he needed something bigger. Once again Jesus would change his life.
[edit] The music
He stepped though the doors of the the Baptist Church in December 2003. The harmony from the chior, with almost only people with shining black in it, "soothed my stormy soul" as he described it. "I needed that, ecpecially in that certain time of my life". And with the powerful singing of these overweight women, his spirit was filled with love. He became a regular there. Praying and singing. As an opnening for baryton came up, he would immediatly apply. He got his purple robe, and within six months he got his first solo number, in their version of Toto's Africa. Nervous at the beginning, the "power of Jesus made me stronger and gave me the voice." he later said in an interview, and the song soon became a synonym with him.
The Georgeian Baptist Choir toured the world in 2005, and Bruce got to visit Japan, Europe, Australia, Africa and many other different places. Bruce often pushed Reverend Bob Johnson to adapt the message of the choire into a film that would remind of Sister Act starring Whoopie Goldberg.
Although that film never came to be, he would focus on the spirit and message of Christ in all of his later movies. Under his psuedonym Badfinger John he has collaborated with actors such as Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz.
In October 2009 The Georgian Baptist Church went on a second world tour.
