Bruce Willis: Back In Action

Bruce Willis: Back In Action

Aidin Vaziri | Let's face it: Bruce Willis does his best work with a gun in his hand and fresh wounds on his forehead. "Die Hard"? "Pulp Fiction"? Good. "The Kid"? "Look Who's Talking"? Not so good. So the action hero's fans have reason to cheer his latest motion picture, "Hostage," in which he plays besieged Los Angeles Police Department negotiator Jeff Talley -- a role that allows him to shoot people, swear and strip naked. With Willis, who turns 50 on Saturday, it frankly doesn't get any better.

Q: I know this was a way for you to show your sensitive side. But don't you think having a recipe for corn bread pancakes on your Web site and admitting you watch "SpongeBob SquarePants" already does the trick?
A: You can't combine the two things. The Web site stands for itself and has very little to do with "Hostage." But you should try that corn bread recipe. It works well if you follow the instructions.
Q: I don't know. You suggest microwaving a cube of butter and pouring whole milk over the pancakes. Haven't you killed enough people in the movies?
A: Don't judge it until you try it. The milk brings out the flavor of the corn cakes.
Q: I also noticed you carry a T-Mobile Sidekick. What would one find if he hacked into that?
A: He would mostly find e-mails between my kids and me, which is why I use it, to stay in touch.
Q: I was hoping to see the video where your dog farts and you try to wave it away with a blanket and a model of Saturn falls off your ceiling and hits your head .
A: That's a true story, but it happened a couple of years ago.
Q: Now that sounds like a good movie.
