Don't Ever Tell Bruce Willis to Shave His Beard



Here's a video clip of the movie, What Just Happened? which is based on the book by the same name by Art Linson.The movie, due out Oct. 3rd, is a Hollywood tell-all about movie stars and what it's like in the industry.

Ain't It Cool reveals..

The above video is an actual beard-shaving tantrum depicted in Linson's book - which went down on the set of Lee Tamahori's THE EDGE - is so much funnier. The particulars: Baldwin shows up to the set of THE EDGE sporting a full beard, which he deems appropriate for his character; the studio, already cheesed at shelling out $5 million for a non-bankable "star", flips and demands that he shave; Linson, facing the possibility of replacing Baldwin with the less physically intimidating Bill Pullman (hot off of ID4 at the time), girds for war and, roughly, the following blow-up occurs

Not to self.... never work with Alex Baldwin. He's the modern-day, male version of Joan Crawford (as told in the movie Mommy Dearest). I'm afraid that if he looks in my closet he'll see I ONLY have metal hangers. He'll scream in that Baldwin-esque rage... "NO METAL HANGERS EVER!!!" while beating my face to a bloody pulp.
