Speaker 1 (00:01):
In the nineties, there was no bigger star than Bruce Willis,
and nowhere for him to go where he wasn't treated
like Hollywood royalty. But almost by accident, Willis found his
escape a tiny town called Haley, Idaho. I've never been

(00:26):
one who's star struck. I wouldn't walk across the street
to meet a movie star. I love die Hard and
some of those other movies at all. Bruce Willis as you,
that's kind of fun. Soon the sight of Bruce Willis
tending bar or pulling lumber became surprisingly normal. So he
was just there. You'd see him driving around town. But

(00:53):
pretty quickly the people of Haley's started feeling suspicious. We
kept hearing a corporation named Ixnay was making offers to
buy some properties right on main stream, and we couldn't
find out who was the force behind icks May. It

(01:13):
turns out Bruce Willis didn't just want to live in Haley.
He wanted to transform it, to remake the town in
his own image. And that's when Haley became something else entirely.
Haleywood is a story of big dreams and even bigger tempers.
And he said, they smashed my club roughed me up,

(01:37):
so they told me to get that out of town.
What happened when the world's biggest movie star took over
a tiny old mining town. He was flying a G
two G twos where the noisiest aircraft, and he would
fly on at two o'clock in the morning. That woke
you up. It's a tale people close to Bruce Willis
had never been keen on telling a thousand of us.

(02:00):
There's a handful that were just a complete nightmare. Bruce
was one of those nightmares. But it's a story the
people of haley are recounting in detail. For the very
first time, something went sour, and if it goes sour
with Willis, you're likely to lose. Join me Danish Sports
as we transport you back to the nineties, to the

(02:21):
mountains of Idaho, where the glitz and glamor of Hollywood
collided with the small town values of Haleywood. You can
listen to Haleywood starting October on the I Heart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you find your favorite shows.
