Bruce Willis plays an over-protective father in his new movie Live Free or Die Hard. He told reporters on Friday at a press event for the movie that he can relate to the movie and his character.

"I'm not hard at all," he said with a smile. "I just tell [the boys] I want to meet them – that's the only thing I ask for. I just give them that look, that little look."

"I always put one of them in charge," he said. "If they bring a little group of guys over to the house to have a pool party or whatever, I just say, 'Dude, what's your name?' and he says, 'Uh, Cinjun.' I say, 'Cinjun, you're in charge.
