Bruce Willis has revealed that he plans to leave behind the character of John McClane in the next couple of years.
Willis is all set to reprise the role of the cop who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time for a fifth movie and the actor admits that he is hoping for a sixth film before calling it a day.
Speaking to FHM the actor said: "In the next few years they could easily find a replacement for me or call the character someone else.
"But for me, I want to do Die Hard 5, then one final Die Hard movie - Die Hard 6 - before finally hanging that white vest up for good.
"At the moment, I can run and I can fight on screen. But there will come a time when I no longer want to do that. That's when I'll step away from the Die Hard films."
And Willis has revealed that he was the one who came up with McClane's most famous line.
"Take the first Die Hard - I was the one who came up with the line, 'Yippee ki-yay motherf**ker!' The producers were trying to give me their take on how I should say a certain line at that point in the movie, and I disagreed.
"So they said, 'You do it'. So I did. Yippee ki-yay was some goofy thing that cowboys used to say in those movies, so I added the 'motherf**ker' bit as I thought it was a nice, contrasting combination of the two images. And it worked. That expression's really stuck around, that's for sure."
Willis will be back on the big screen later this year with Red, which sees him join forces with Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman.
He has already completed work on Catch.44 and is currently filming The Cold Light of Day, which also stars Sigourney Weaver.
