'Armageddon' producer recalls Bruce Willis' 'extra' generosity on set

Bruce Willis was super nice to the people working on the production of Armageddon in 1998.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently told PEOPLE magazine that the 69-year-old actor would give money away to the crew to make sure they had some “nice extra cash at the end of the week.”

“Bruce is such a good guy. He was so generous to the crew. They’d have [cash giveaway] drawings, and he’d throw a lot of money in the hat, and the crew members would always take away some nice extra cash at the end of the week, whoever won,” he spoke of the actor who played the character of Henry S. Stamper.

Moreover, Jerry also shared that when the Michael Bay movie was still filming, the crew had a weekly cash pot at the end of each week which Bruce would contribute extra generously to with his own money.

In May last year, Arnold Schwarzenegger also spoke of the actor highly, claiming that he’s “fantastic.”

“He was, always for years and years, a huge, huge star. And I think that he will always be remembered as a great, great star. And a kind man. I understand that under his circumstances, health-wise, that he had to retire. But in general, you know, we never really retire. Action heroes, they reload,” he had said.
