Hey guys, I spoke with a friend working on a film with Bruce Willis. According to him, the production company had planned to invest $40 million in Denzel Washington, but when Denzel left for Broadway and Bruce Willis came on board, they decided to decrease the budget to $20 million.
Do you think Bruce Willis is worth half of Denzel Washington?
I don’t think Denzel is necessarily worth more, but as a top African American actor, he likely attracts a lot of Black viewers, boosting box office numbers. Denzel is a fantastic actor and appeals to both black and white audiences.
He is also still seen favorably by women. Denzel is getting old now but he was a sex symbol. Willis? Hmm mm. Nope
Currently, Denzel Washington is worth more, with a net worth of about $300 million compared to Bruce Willis’s $250 million. Willis appears less engaged in his recent roles, which is noticeable in his performances. This likely explains the disparity in their market value.
