Bruce Willis was a variety of iconic movie characters over his long career. But the one that is most well-known is Die Hard’s Jack McClane. Many will remember the moment when the police detective met terrorists in 1988’s blockbuster. Just as iconic as the character himself, though, is the film’s infamous, fictional setting: Nakatomi Plaza. Willis visited the Los Angeles skyscraper 34 years ago. There’s even footage from the sweet trip, which is sure to give fans all the feels.
The sweet moment was captured by Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, who shared a clip to her Instagram account. Bruce stands at the top of Fox Plaza in black-and-white and looks out over the surrounding area. There are also snippets taken from the Fox Plaza. Die Hard itself. See the post below.

Reginald VelJohnson, OG Star, has weighed-in on the matter, and he does indeed believe that it’s a legitimate holiday film. (And if I’m being honest, I completely agree with him).
While this recent post is likely to stir up good feelings (and maybe even more debate) amongst audiences, it’s hard not to think about the time at which this moment arrives in Bruce Willis’ life. This was earlier this year. Willis has officially retired from acting due to being diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disease that affects one’s ability to comprehend or articulate language. Emma Heming Willis admitted that it’s been a struggle to care for her husband during this time. Bruce seems to have a solid support system and she and Bruce seem like they are making the most of sweet moments, such as this trip at Nakatomi Plaza.
