He’s going to need a long stay in the burn ward after this.
Later this month, Comedy Central will be airing their Roast Of Bruce Willis, which hosted by his younger-self Looper co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt and features some big names who have worked with Willis over the years.
It is essentially an excuse for famous people to make fun of other famous people with zero repercussions, and sometimes they’re great (David Hasselhoff) and sometimes they’re not (Donald Trump).
This one looks set to be an all-timer…

The show recorded earlier this month, and some very lucky people got to attend the roast, and while the entire line-up was pretty much announced beforehand, one person did arrive out of the blue to the shock of the audience and proceeded to torch the place down with her epic burns.
Willis’ ex-wife Demi Moore.
There were plenty of zingers across the night, but this is the one (via Entertainment Weekly) that had us running for the fire blanket:
“I look at our marriage like The Sixth Sense. You were dead the whole time. I was married to Bruce for the first three Die Hard movies, which makes sense because the last two sucked. Bruce considered the end of our marriage his biggest failure. Bruce, don’t be so hard on yourself, you had much bigger failures. Planet Hollywood, Hudson Hawk… campaigning for Michael Dukakis, turning down Clooney’s role in Ocean’s Eleven to focus on playing the harmonica.”
Not to be outdone, Willis serves it back quite nicely:
“Joseph Gordon-Levitt played a younger me in Looper. He couldn’t pull it off. There is one actor who successfully played me. It was Demi Moore.”
BUUUUUURRRRRRRRNNNNN!
The Comedy Central Roast Of Bruce Willis will air on Sunday 29 July.
