Feuds between superstars don’t surprise people anymore. Fans try to look for how two mega stars are with competing each other. There was a time when Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone were one of the most famous lead actors in Hollywood and people went gaga over their films. When the two actors joined hands to star in the action series Expendables, Stallone and Willis’s fans were more than excited. In The Expendables 2, the Pulp Fiction actor played the character of Mr.Chruch. When Willis was offered the action movie once again the Die Hard actor charged a massive amount for his part. 

Reportedly, the makers and the Rocky Balboa actor were ready to pay $3 million to the Red actor to shoot for 4 days. But Willis demanded $4 million and this disappointed Stallone very much. In one of the Tweets, the actor wrote, “Greedy and lazy…. A sure formula for career failure.” The Creed II actor’s spokesperson confirmed that the Tweet was for the Glass actor. Willis was later replaced by Harrison Ford and many people were happy as another legend entered the action series.
