star had a horrible experience with star during an interview.
The star confessed that one of his worst interview moments ever actually happened live on-air, when the Die Hard actor appeared on back in 2013 to discuss his film A Good Day to Die Hard.
Speaking to The Telegraph about the encounter, Matt said: “[My worst celebrity encounter was] Bruce Willis on The One Show. He’d been totally lovely in the green room beforehand and then we went on the show and this weirdness just descended.
“We were talking about his movie A Good Day to Die Hard and he went off on one about how bad the title was and he just wouldn’t answer the questions.
“It went on and on and when we rolled the first VT, his PR people rushed over and said, ‘Bruce, you do realise this is live.’ He’d thought it would all be edited down. He apologised.”

On the programme, Bruce admitted: “It’s a difficult title.” When Alex Jones chimed in to offer: “I suppose it’s because you had kind of a good day and if you would have died, well, so be it. Is that it?”, Bruce half-heartedly agreed: “That’s right.
“That’s a good question. Have a sandwich and let’s go shopping. Die hard. It makes about as much sense. Or maybe there is a good day to die hard?”
Fans have suggested it could have been Bruce’s aphasia which caused the blunder – though he didn’t reveal his diagnosis publicly until 2022. A year later in 2023, his family confirmed he was actually battling frontotemporal

The family said: “Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.
“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know.”
