Maybe Stallone was right.

Bruce Willis is "bored" of shooting action movies but likes the money they generate, the Hollywood star has reportedly told a Spanish magazine.

The 58-year-old star of the Die Hard series, who is currently promoting comic-book action movie Red 2, said explosions were "one of the most boring parts of my job", adding: "When you have seen a few fireballs, it's not exciting any more. I know part of my audience enjoys the explosions, but to be honest, I'm a bit bored of it now."

He reportedly added: "I am very clear with who I am. I work in all sorts of films, but the action movies are the ones that generate the most revenue. I like to earn lots of money from those, but I do all types: small productions, mega-projects, medium-sized, even science fiction." Nevertheless, Willis said he did not "dance for joy" upon receiving movie pay cheques and was not "someone who spends the whole day counting bank notes".

Willis came close to appearing even more bored during a recent video interview to promote Red 2 with Magic FM, his disinterested veneer contrasting with the cheery prattle of the easy-listening station's interviewer Jamie Edwards. Highlights include Willis telling Edwards – without apparent prompting – that he is not acting right now, but merely "selling" the film ("that fun part happened while we were making the movie"), and responding to a query about his fondness for cars with the line: "I'm thinking about driving right now – I can hardly keep my mind on this interview."
