This news from Hollywood comes as a surprise: “Die Hard” star Bruce Willis is retiring as an actor. The message was announced by Rumer Willis, the eldest daughter of the 67-year-old actor, on her Instagram profile. Her sister Scout, as well as Willis’ wife Emma Heming-Willis and his ex-wife Demi Moore also shared the news.
