Willis Got Big Role Thanks To Kids
Actor Bruce Willis has his kids to thank for his iconic role in Pulp Fiction - he met director Quentin Tarantino through them.
The action-hero superstar wasn't considered for the 1994 Academy Award-winning film until a fellow Hollywood father suggested him to Tarantino.
He recalls, "I got that part because of my kids! Harvey Keitel (co-star in the film) came to pick up his daughter from my house. One day, he mentioned that Quentin was over at his house and I should meet him.
"That's when he offered me the role."
