1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: The Fred Show is on Fred's fun fact Fredwaun learn

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: so much? All right, guys, so this is interesting. Bruce

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: willis okay. When you think of Bruce willis, what do

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: you think of first die Hard? Yep, so, Bruce, have

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: you ever seen Diehard? I know the answer. I know

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: that that he was. I knew what you were gonna say.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: I could read your mind. Bruce Willis played the legendary

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: John McClain in the die Hard film franchise. Right, but

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: before he landed the role in the Action Pack movies,

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: the part was offered to Frank Sinatra, who was in

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: his seventies at the time. And that may sound strange,

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: but it had to do with illegal obligation. I never

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: knew this, by the way. The movie was based on

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy nine Roderick Thorpe novel Nothing Lasts Forever,

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: which was a follow up to nineteen sixty six The

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Detective I Guess not Removed in nineteen sixty eight, or

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: excuse me, that was a novel. In nineteen sixty eight,

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: that novel had been made into a film starring Sinatra,

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: not as Jean McClain but as Joe Leland, a former

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: New York cop who becomes a private investigator. So when

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Sinatra signed up for that movie, it was in his

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: contract that the studio had to offer him the main

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: part in the sequel, but when that eventually happened, he

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: turned down the role. But can you imagine Diehard without

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Bruce Willis? No one with a seven year old Sinatra?

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine Bruce Willis with a Diehard? No? And

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: is it a Christmas movie? Oh God, here we go.

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 1: I don't have time on more fresh show next
