Yesterday Sylvester Stallone tweeted that Bruce Willis left “Expendables 3″ because he was “greedy” and “lazy”.

While TMZ await confirmation on those claims from Demi Moore, The Hollywood Reporter has done some digging and discovered the details of Willis’s sequel snub.

According to a source, Willis wanted one million dollars a day to reprise the role of ‘Church’*.
Willis was offered $3 million for four days of consecutive work on location in Bulgaria for the film, but he balked at the offer. “Yippee ki-ya-Mother-will-shoot-’er!”.

Rather than cave in and pay Willis what he wanted, Stallone rang Harrison Ford who agreed to do it for that price (and Stallone cemented the deal with an offer to be his bodyguard at any forthcoming ‘Star Wars’ press days; agreeing to get ‘messy’ with 300-pound Admiral Ackbar’s if they asked anything Ford couldn’t answer). Ford signed on less than 72 hours after Willis dropped out. Quick turnaround.

Still… I’m offended that they’d call Bruce Willis lazy and greedy. I saw “Die Hard with a Veteran” and I think he was worth the entire 120 million. Hume Cronyn couldn’t have played that part better.

*If they want someone to play a Church, why not just go Wayne Knight? He’d be cheaper and more credible.

Willis was awful in the new Die Hard movie, and not a great deal better in Red 2 or GI Joe. I don't think he gives a shit anymore, so good on Stallone for booting him.

I'm conflicted, as I know they have the money to spare. That franchise is a cash-cow.... but I don't like Bruce Willis....

3 million for 4 days fucking work and the prick said no, what a serious asshole he is.

Sly hit the nail right on the head. Willis is a greedy pig. I like him as an actor, but I don't like him as a person. It's not like Willis needs that kind of money to survive he's already loaded.

He's been very shitty in his recent movies, and I wasn't a fan of "It's A Good Day to Die Hard" either. He's only being greedy because he wants to act like he's still got the game in him and he's worth every penny for it.
