Arnold Schwarzenegger was reportedly the intial choice of Bruce Willis

As Die Hard's 35th anniversary passed, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turned down the John McClane role, gave a piece of advice to Bruce Willis.

Nick de Semlyen, who wrote The Last Action Heroes: The Triumphs, Flops, and Feuds of Hollywood's Kings of Carnage, revealed the 75-year-old had a strange encounter with the Red star in a Santa Monica eatery after the 1988 action flick debut.

"Know why you'll never be an action star?" The Terminator star shouted to the now-retired actor having dinner on the opposite side of the restaurant.

"No, Arnold, why?" the 68-year-old asked.

The former governor of California pointed to his bulky arms and said, "Toothpick arms."

Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger and Willis shared a strong bond as the former paid a moving tribute when the latter called it quits from acting due to a diagnosis of aphasia.

"I think that he's fantastic. He was, always for years and years, is a huge, huge star,"

"And I think that he will always be remembered as a great, great star. And a kind man. I understand that under his circumstances, health-wise, that he had to retire. But in general, you know, we never really retire. Action heroes, they reload," the Austrian actor told Cinemablend.
