Bruce Willis CONFIRMS ‘Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie’

The 63-year-old action star is best known for the Die Hard franchise, but since the 1988 original’s release fans have been debating if it’s a Christmas movie or not.

After all, it’s since it’s set at Christmas but isn’t about Christmas.

Well now Willis himself has given his own verdict as the film marks its 30th anniversary, claiming that it is not.

The actor made the shocking revelation at his very own Comedy Central Roast.

Right near the end when he had a chance to respond to those who have been roasting him for the entire programme, Willis stood up and made the announcement.

According to the Hollywood Reporter said: ‘Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.”

Afterward the actor was asked how fans would react to this, Willis replied: “We’ll see.”

It’s not entirely clear if the actor was winding up fans on purpose or if he was being serious, but it’s quite the statement nonetheless.

Last year YouGov polled UK movie fans on whether Die Hard was a Christmas movie or not.

Of the 5000 polled just 30% voted Yes, while 52% voted No and 18% said they don’t know.

This followed an earlier YouGov poll which asked: “Do you consider a movie that takes place at Christmas time, but is not about Christmas itself, to be a Christmas movie?”

While 50% voted No in that one, even asking specifically about Die Hard in a follow-up poll wasn’t enough to see the film officially stamped as a Christmas movie.

Nevertheless, we still think it absolutely is in our seven reasons the Yippee-Ki-Yay classic is the most festive.

Earlier last year it was confirmed that Bruce Willis will return for Die Hard 6.

Titled Die Hard: Year One, the part-prequel, part-sequel will see flashbacks to a younger John McClane as an LAPD cop.

The Roast of Bruce Willis will air on Comedy Central on July 29.
