Bruce Willis in High School

As a child, Willis had a stutter so severe, he told GQ, "I thought I was handicapped. I couldn't talk at all."

Acting is what eventually helped him overcome the stutter: "I did some theater somewhere, probably in high school. And when I memorized words, I didn't stutter, which was just miraculous."

Despite his early affinity for acting, he didn't try for a career in it right away; he initially worked as a security guard at a power plant and attended college before dropping out to try his luck in the New York theater scene.
