Kevin Smith - Willis Intimidated Smith

Filmmaker KEVIN SMITH has branded BRUCE WILLIS the "most intimidating" actor he's ever worked with.

Director Smith recruited the actor for his upcoming cop movie A Couple of DICks and the pair sparked speculation of a falling-out over Willis' demands to add his own creative input to the film.

The Die Hard actor brushed off reports of a feud, but Smith insists he did struggle to direct Willis on set.

He explains, "Bruce Willis is probably the most intimidating actor I've ever worked with. I find him - and I don't mean this in an insulting way - undirectable.

"He has all sorts of range, but what he's predominantly known for is playing the guy who holds his gun down by his side and saves people. How do you tell Bruce Willis to be Bruce Willis?"
