Kevin Smith Slams Bruce Willis in Interview

Director Kevin Smith has an opinion of Bruce Willis, and he's not holding back.

According to the Daily Mail, Smith recently went on the 'WTF with Marc Maron' podcast and slammed Willis' committment and attitude while shooting 2010's 'Cop Out,' which Smith directed.

Smith claims the actor neglected to promote the film, contributing to the movie's lackluster performance in theaters. 'Cop Out' grossed just $44 million in North America.

"It was difficult," Smith said. "I've never been involved in a situation like that where one component is not in the box at all. It was f***ing soul crushing."

The director continued on his rant, adding that Willis was difficult on set and refused to pose for promotional photos.

"I had no f***ing help from this dude whatsoever," Smith said.

Though Willis wasn't on his best behavior while shooting 'Cop Out,' the opposite can be said about his co-star Tracy Morgan, according to Smith.

"He's a f***ing dream," Smith said of the '30 Rock' actor. "Tracy Morgan, I would lay down in traffic for. Were it not for Tracy, I might've killed myself or someone else in the making of that movie."
