A related topic, Pulp Fiction, is currently nominated on WP:IDRIVE. Vote for this article.-- Fenice 06:51, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
why is there no mention of his music [3] anywhere? -- 213.66.39.247 00:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Should Bruce Willis's strong ties to the Republican party be mentioned?
This article contradicts itself. Quoting Bruce Willis saying he's not a Republican, and in the Trivia it says he is a Republican.
I don't think anyone doubts that Willis is a Republican, however as he has said he isn't then we can't really include that.
"Frequently supports" would be better, as he supported the Republican presidential candidates in 1992 and 2000.
The trivia section had an entry saying "Is an avid collector of My Little Pony figurines." .. is this true ? any references ? sikander 02:13, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I just caught a rerun of Moonlighting on late night cable, and it seemed to me that his nose was much straighter/more pointed than I remembered from more recent movies. Some pictures from < http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000246/> seem to show a difference in profile, but they're all publicity shots or movie posters. I've done some googling but come up with nothing. Has anyone else noticed any changes to the actor's nose, or am I just imagining things?
It says he was discharged from the military in 1957. That can't be right... if he was, he would be two years old in the army. Jedibob5 12:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
This is the name that appears under the photo. Is the "Ashton" part real or is someone messing with the page? I haven't found support for that name in other documents.
I have tentatively deleted the word "Ashton." Please advise if this is actually part of his name--I found no proof that it is.
More confusion: in the intro it says he was born Walter Bruce, but in the Early Life section he was originally named Bruno? Lottie 09:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Many sites on the web give his birth name as Walter Bruce Willison (eg http://movies.msn.com/celebs/celeb.aspx?c=84313 and http://movies.nytimes.com/person/76618/Bruce-Willis/biography) NevarMaor ( talk) 15:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Found vandalism. Deleted "He is a white. Bruce Willis is Homosexual from Birth"
A few other things:
Also it says that Bruce has come out as being gay, though i have seen no evidence of this.
I suggest we lock this page. The vandalism is annoying, Check out previous versions for proof.

Is this section even necessary? It seems like "Oh, Bruce Willis said something, lets put it up here." sono_ryuu_sochi 1:36, 9 May 2007 (MTZ)sono_ryuu_sochi yes its damm well manchurian candidate 11:11, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I just nominated the article for GA, if anybody wants, take a look over the article and see if there are any errors in the article before it gets reviewed. -- Nehrams2020 01:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Wasn't he born in Germany, where his father was stationed? (There are no (and have never been any) American military bases in Sweden.)
An excellent article that easily meets all the GA criteria. After wading through some of the articles on GA nomination trying to reduce the backlog it was a relief to come across one that was in great condition. Very little work to do on this article really - there's some slightly clumsy language in the lead paras that could do with being polished (eg beliefs -> belief, and "In motion pictures... his films" is redundant), but overall sails through the GA criteria, someone has put a lot of work into this article. I was impressed particularly with the density of citation as well as the neutral treatment of several potentially flammable issues. For the record I'm something of a snob and don't even like pop-culture articles and it still impressed me! - congrats. PocklingtonDan ( talk) 11:30, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Some one take care of the Ryan Seacrest comments in the Personal Life Section
I recall seeing a clip of Bruce posing as lead singer cast in a band playing at the original Woodstock festival. It was done so well that I was able to convince several of my friends that he actually did, in fact, actually perform there. I have been unable to locate the clip since. Any help would be appreciated. 68.198.252.99 17:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)G.
I've read on an article that the name of the woman he was dating was Tamara Feldman, but I've also seen the same article saying it was Karen McDougal... That's the name I always assumed in the first place... 70.55.114.188 09:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Second para under "Early Life" it says:
"After graduating Penns Grove High School, Willis farmed sheep in a mining village in Alabama, transporting work crews at the DuPont Chambers Works factory in Deepwater, New Jersey."
While I don 't know whether he ever farmed sheep in Alabama, I DO know that the sentence doesn't make logical sense and is therefore likely to be one more little act of vandalism specifically designed to escape notice.
Before I or somebody changes it (and we'd have to go looking at old edits to even figure out what it's SUPPOSED to say) I thought I'd bring it up here... -- starfarmer 06:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Found it! It was the handiwork of 80.43.17.4 in the revision of 2007-02-03T20:27:59.Funny thing, the original vandalism was both ungrammatical and nonsensical. Subsequent users, rather than excising it altogether *instead* simply made it grammatically correct, allowing it to settle in for a nice winter's nap.
It is now fixed.-- starfarmer 09:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
The article says at the top that he is interested in "several conspiracy theories" yet the article only mentions one under "cospiracy theories" is there something missing? SGGH speak! 17:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it does, but I'm not entirely sure on it, so who knows. I have a problem with this: "Organized religions in general, in my opinion, are dying forms", he says. "They were all very important when we didn't know why the sun moved, why weather changed, why hurricanes occurred, or volcanoes happened", he continues. "Modern religion is the end trail of modern mythology. But there are people who interpret the Bible literally. Literally!" he says incredulously. "I choose not to believe that's the way. And that's what makes America cool, you know?[28] Um... Isn't that called Christian Liberalism/ Liberal Christianity/ Liberation theology? I mean, he's never said that he wasn't Christian/Lutheran anymore, just simply that organised religion is pretty much a failure (which I can agree). I don't know, maybe I'm over thinking this. ¤ IrønCrøw¤ ( Speak to Me) 03:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Since when has Bruce been 73? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.147.219 ( talk) 19:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Per the user request, I did not add that Bruce was in the new Gorillaz STYLO video without having evidence to support it. I found such evidence on the respectable BILLBOARD.com, which included a picture of Bruce IN THE Music Video. My question is, why was this removed from the page? Bruce Willis was in a music video, I find that interesting and valid considering this is the BRUCE WILLIS wikipedia entry. Am I missing some guideline/not understanding? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomUsedToBeRob ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
His mother is German and his father was American, therefore making him German - American. Why is it changed to american all the time? Norum 22:38, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
1. In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. (Note: There is no consensus on how to define nationality for people from the United Kingdom, which encompasses constituent countries. For more information, please see the essay "Wikipedia:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom" and the talk page archives.)
2. Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities and/or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.
This means that we do not refer to Willis as "German-American". Please stop inserting that into this article. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 00:39, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Well, then look the entry for Joe Pesci. It clearly states that he is Italian - American and he is even less Italian than Willis is German, because, unlike Willis, Pesci was born in the US. So either insert here that Willis is German - American or remove that Pesci is Italian - American. And to add to this, true, Willis was born to an US serviceman stationed in Germany and such people are not referred to as Germans. But the fact that his mother is German, makes him half German. So check other examples before you say anything. Norum 01:39, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
No German-American does not mean dual German-American citizenship it means an American of German descent. Thing is, Willis's father is an American of English ancestry from Idaho, and yet he is not labeled as being of English descent. What gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.94.47.16 ( talk) 04:02, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Seems to get vandalized a lot, not sure what the policy is but perhaps one of those little locks would be in order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loempia ( talk • contribs) 15:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
