Willis Gets Honored in Hollywood

Posted Oct 16th 2006 7:16PM by TMZ Staff

Bruce Willis received the 2,321st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today in front of a crowd of fans, friends and family.

Willis' ex-wife, Demi Moore, was in attendance along with her husband, Ashton Kutcher, and Willis and Moore's three daughters -- Scout, Rumer and Tallulah.

"I used to come down here and look at these stars and I could never quite figure out what you're supposed to do to get one," Willis said. "And time has passed and now here I am doing this, and I'm still excited about it. I'm still excited to be an actor." Other celebs in attendance included Kevin Costner, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Don Johnson and Sylvester Stallone.

Willis rose to fame in the dramedy "Moonlighting" in 1985. He won the Emmy Award for outstanding lead actor in a drama series in 1987. And most recently, the star lent his voice to the character of "RJ" in Dreamworks' animated "Over The Hedge," the DVD of which debuts today.

Willis' broad resume includes such films as "Die Hard," "Pulp Fiction," "The Sixth Sense" and "Armageddon." The fourth film in the "Die Hard" series, "Live Free or Die Hard," is due out June 29, 2007.

1. Sad day when an arrogant, no-talent like Willils gets honored like that. Shows you how low we will stoop.. Sadly, his daughter Rumer looks just like him...same smirk.

2. It's about time! I think he's a great actor and considering his relationship with his ex-wife, he's a good person in general. To bad more divorcees can't behave this way.

5. GO BRUCE!!! Loved him since Moonlighting and never stopped....he and Demi's ability to put their differences aside after their divorce and become not only good parents but FRIENDS is a testament to his character.

I smell "political reasons" for anyone who puts him down.

6. #5ManBear...... there are other reasons. I've liked Bruce for the same reasons you mention. But there are some fruity California nuts, i.e. poster #1, who dislike almost everybody. Jealousy? Probably.

7. Bruce, glad you got your star. But it's got to hurt losing Demi to a young stud. Dating women half your age or almost your daughter age is really stupid. That's the problem with hollyweird. You guys think because of money and power you don't look silly, well you do. Look a Hugh Hefner, do you really think those girls really give a sh*t. Yes for the money.

8. He used to wonder what you have to do to get a star?

It's simple. You just have to buy one.

9. Some of you people are idiots. It's _never_ been _any_ kind of "honour"... no. Celebrity's (((PAY))) for them. Willis just figures he's washed up enough that (((BUYING))) a star on THWOF will make _him_ feel more secure in the thought that he won't be forgotten. lmfao Uh, too late, Brucie.

10. Congrats Bruce!

FYI....it is not as simple as buying it. You are nominated and yes, there is a fee but with all of the stars and wanna be stars around there are alot of apps put in. You don't nominate yourself either for this. They do decide who they want to give the star to so there is more to it than "you just buy one".

Bruce has earned this in more ways than some others on the walk.

13. Lucky # Slevin was a great movie!

Anything Ashton has been in has been ok at best. Ashton is cute and all but seems like a boy compared to Bruce.
