🌟 SPOTLIGHT ON THE CAST

Bruce Willis
Everyone knows John McClane, but it’s still tough processing his retirement due to FTD. By 2025, his family is keeping his legacy alive while he stays private. Did you know he actually lost part of his hearing while filming the table scene in the movie? It was way too loud on set!

Alan Rickman
The late, great Alan Rickman defined the villain role as Hans Gruber. It’s wild to think this was actually his first feature film role ever! While we lost him back in 2016, his diaries published recently gave us a cheeky look into his mind—apparently, he wasn't always thrilled with the script.

Bonnie Bedelia
She played the tough-as-nails Holly Gennaro. Fun fact: she’s Macaulay Culkin’s aunt in real life! While she hasn't been in huge blockbusters lately, she’s still acting. As of 2025, she looks incredible and is mostly doing TV work and attending the occasional convention to chat with Die Hard fans.

Reginald VelJohnson
The guy who played Al Powell is basically the cop of the 80s and 90s. He loved the role so much he reprised it for Family Matters! He’s still kicking around Hollywood in 2025, doing voice work and commercials. Rumor has it he still has the Twinkies from the original set somewhere.

Alexander Godunov
He played the terrifying blonde henchman, Karl. Before Hollywood, he was a massive ballet star who defected from the USSR in a huge international scandal. Sadly, he passed away way too young in the 90s. His intense performance is a huge reason why the action scenes still hold up today.
