He made an almost disastrous appearance on BBC’s The One Show on Wednesday evening, causing him to be labelled ‘ignorant and incoherent’.
But Bruce Willis brushed off the torturous interview and set about promoting his latest movie, A Good Day To Die Hard, on Thursday once more.
The actor was the A-list guest at the London premiere of the film at the Empire in Leicester Square.

Despite a previous awkward TV appearance, Bruce Willis attended the premiere of “A Good Day To Die” on Thursday night, accompanied by his wife Emma.
And he seemed to have put the TV appearance behind him as he happily posed for pictures smiling widely at the screening.
He walked on the red carpet with his wife, Emma Heming, who looked glamorous in a bright orange frock.
For a while at least she seemed to take the heat off Bruce as she showed off her slender physique in the get-up.

Emma stepped out in the drizzly weather, flaunting her legs in stylish metallic heels. Initially hesitant due to the cold, she kept warm with a silver jacket draped over her shoulders.
But she soon took it off ready to show off her ensemble to the waiting photographers and fans.
And one thing’s for sure, she didn’t seem to have minded Willis’ awkward interview just 24 hours earlier.

The Hollywood star faced criticism from BBC One viewers after seemingly ignoring questions from hosts Matt Baker and Alex Jones during an uncomfortable interview meant to promote his latest franchise film.
The actor gave short answers and repeatedly shrugged his shoulders in the promotional appearance described as ‘torture’ by viewers.
Willis’ interview on the show was likened to the now infamous Michael Parkinson interview with Meg Ryan back in 2003, which was described at the time as the most awkward 10 minutes of veteran presenter’s career.

Bizarrely, the only time Willis, 57, did open up during the live interview was to criticise the name of the film – which he insisted didn’t make any sense.
While Baker was in the middle of praising the film, Willis only seemed interested in criticising it.
Cutting him off, Willis said: ‘Let me ask you guys, what about the title? Are you confused by it?’
Jones admitted she did think the name was strange, with Willis then responding: ‘I don’t understand it. ‘It’s a Good Day to Die Hard’? No, I’m still working on it.’

Following the excruciatingly awkward interview, viewers were quick to comment on the BBC’s Points of View forum.
One wrote: ‘It’s not often that I feel sorry for Matt and Alex but this was torture. They desperately tried to ask questions and get something of interest out of him whilst he mumbled and hesitated and was generally incoherent.
‘They obviously thought that they had a major coup getting a Hollywood A list star on the show but Willis showed himself to be little better than a mumbling moron.’

Another described the star as ‘ignorant’, adding: ‘What was his problem because he was not interested at all why bother appearing like an idiot.
‘This was a shameful appearance and full credit to the presenters who did a great job with an ignorant couldn’t care less man.’
But it didn’t stop a host of stars turning out to see the film and support him at the London premiere on Thursday.

The reality star couple were joined by by ex-TOWIE star Harry Derbridge and the trio posed together on the red carpet outside the Empire cinema.
The event proved to be an attraction for former reality stars and Harry’s cousin Amy Childs also attended the screening with boyfriend David Peter.
Georgia Salpa also showed up, wearing a similar bright orange dress to that of Bruce’s wife Emma.
While Lizzie Cundy, Khloe Evans, Amy Wilerton and Amelia Lily rounded up the other guests of the night.
