Many men grow up worrying about losing their hair. If you know someone who's worried about it right now, show them this picture. Bruce Willis just looks weird with hair. Without it, he's an all-action tough guy. It's not just what's on top of his head which makes the young Willis appear a little odd here though; why can't he bring himself to look at the camera? Is there something fascinating going on in the corner of the room? Maybe he's just seen a mirror.
Willis grew up with a stutter, but is yet another example of a performer who took acting classes to get over it, and then progressed from there into becoming a professional actor. His career-defining role was John McClane in 'Die Hard,' (a role he's still threatening to come back to), but he also famously chilled us all when he worked with a little boy who could see dead people in 'The Sixth Sense.' He has something of a reputation for being difficult to work with, but it hasn't stopped him from becoming a legend.
