DEMI MOORE 'ROASTS EX-HUSBAND BRUCE WILLIS

-

Actor Bruce Willis became the latest target of annual roast special hosted by an American channel, with his ex wife turning up to join in on the abuse.

After enduring jokes from roasters like Kevin Pollak, Edward Norton, Cybill Shepherd, Lil Rel Howery, and Martha Stewart, Willis got an earful from Moore, who was brought on as a surprise guest for the roast that was taped at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, USA, reports ew.com.

Moore seemed to enjoy making fun of her 12-year union to Willis while their three daughters — Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah — clapped and howled from the audience.

“I was married to Bruce for the first three ‘Die Hard’ movies, which makes sense because the last two sucked,” Moore quipped. “Bruce considered the end of our marriage his biggest failure. Bruce, don’t be so hard on yourself. You had much bigger failures. Planet Hollywood (a restaurant co-founded by Willis), Hudson Hawk (1991)... campaignin­g for Michael Dukakis, turning down Clooney’s role in Ocean’s Eleven (2011) to focus on playing the harmonica.”

Roast master Joseph Gordon-Levitt kicked off the show with a few witty remarks. “Bruce can play anyone from an a**hole cop to an a**hole ex-cop,” he said.

A number of jokes involved US President Donald Trump, as well as producer Harvey Weinstein and actor Kevin Spacey, who are facing sexual harassment allegation­s, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“If you were to do American History X (1998) today, not only would you win the Oscar, but also a Cabinet position,” Pollak joked to Norton.
