With his career as an A list actor, it's hard to imagine that Bruce Willis once suffered from a debilitating stutter.
But the Die Hard star has revealed that he was once so badly affected that he saw himself as 'disabled'.
He told the March issue of GQ: 'I had a terrible
stutter.'
SCROLL DOWN FOR TRAILER
It's not easy being green: Bruce Willis suited
up in stonewash and green velvet for the March 2013 issue of GQ, and
shrugged off his repeated Oscar snubbing
But the Looper lead discovered that theatre helped him work out his childhood stammer.
'I did some theater somewhere, probably in high school. And when I memorized words, I didn't stutter, which was just
miraculous,' he explained.
You get it for novelty, for being
fascinating to watch in some character role. But the Die Hard stuff and
Dirty Harry are all fraught with the same thing that every story is
fraught with.'
For the cover, shot by photographer Mario Testino, the chrome-domed star donned a grey suit over a chambray shirt and tie.
Merci beaucoups! Willis might have evaded Oscar
glory, but he was honored in Paris on Monday with the Commander of the
Arts and Letters for his contribution to cinema
Yippee-ki-yay: The father-of-four has been in
the French capital promoting A Good Day To Die Hard, which premieres
Valentine's Day
Inside the issue, Bruce propped his
leg up while clad in a green velvet suit over a stonewash shirt and tie
as eerie fog bellows around him.

Off the wagon: The formerly sober star, who used
to front Seagram's Golden Wine Cooler products in the 1980s, admitted
to GQ that he now indulges in a glass of wine 'mostly when I eat'
The Jersey-bred actor admitted he always found it difficult explaining what he does for a living to his children.
'I can't even figure my job out. I
can't figure out the proper metaphor to try to explain what it is I do,
even to my kids,' said the 12 Monkeys star.
'I can't get it into a nice, cozy box
— "This is what I do, and this is why." I still like it — you can't
beat the dough. But I'm sure there will be some kind of penance.
'The Catholic side of me — not that I
am Catholic, but — just assumes that there's going to be a bill to pay.
I don't know, maybe I should be doing something else, but I don't know
what it would be.'
Clowning around: Bruce joked around about
becoming the new Pope with David Letterman on his Late Show with David
Letterman on Tuesday
