Let me set the scene. It’s a small local pub, lots of regulars who turn up each week for the pub quiz.

There’s always a picture round first. 20 pictures of famous people, 20 minutes to name them all Host isn’t apposed to some controversy. The man, in full knowledge, used a rather sub parr Waxwork of Emma Watson as an answer once. He’s a brave man.

This week, the attached image is one of the answers. No idea who it is, no one knows. Random guesses from across the pub. When it’s time to read out answers, no one expects “Bruce Willis”.

I know what Bruce looks like. He doesn’t look like a friendly local accountant turned MP. Controversy ensuse. No one is convinced that this is Mr.Willis. We know there wasn’t a final Die Hard film where he ways up his pension options and had a mid afternoon nap.

So – who even is this? No one knows. We all leave having our confidence rocked. Not knowing which was is up or down (that could be the beer though).

Appreciate any guesses as to who this Gentleman may be

  1. I feel really sad now, as I’ve just read that Bruce Willis has dementia.

    I don’t think this is Bruce, as have you ever seen how much work he had done on his teeth?

  2. Looks more like Jeffery Wright but can’t get who it is.

    Certainly not Willis.

  3. Looks like a Greggs- Gregg Wallace and Greg Davies.  
    Or Nuno Esprito Santos.

  4. Looks a bit like Phil who runs the Tombola down the Legion on a Friday evening.

  6. I’m thinking it’s a mixture of Bruce and Samuel L Jackson from Die Hard with a vengeance

  9. I think the regulars should start demanding that the quiz host provide sources for his images as there’s no way that’s Bruce Willis.

    I’ve tried to find out by asking Google to analyse the photo but even Google doesn’t know who the fuck that is.

  10. All i can say is i feel your pain.

    I once put scarlet macaw for an answer in a picture round but was told I was wrong as the answer was red parrot. 

  12. Could it be A Bruce Willis, just not The Bruce Willis? Be a tad mean of the quiz master.

  13. That’s Bruce Willis’s image on the Turin Shroud. I’d no idea he was that old.

  16. I hope this leads to a lot more pub quiz contoversies posted here. Once had a question about a sculptor. Our team said Rodin, which was correct. No other team got it right. We didn’t get the point because we didn’t put in his first name.

  20. My favourite wrong picture answer was when the print out was terrible and in black and white.. and I guessed it was Usher, and the answer was Craig Revel Hallwood. Me and my friends still guess Usher to everything haha

  21. It’s A Bruce Willis, not THE Bruce Willis. That Bruce Willis does the bins round mine.

  22. All you can do is boycott the pub quiz.

    I’ll never forgive the quizmaster for the scene that ensued when our team missed out on a chance to win top prize because he took the answer for “Rome’s first emperor” to be Julius Caesar and not the correct answer of Augustus.

    Sometimes there’s no arguing with a clearly misinformed quizmaster.

  24. I once got laughed at by a pub for asking for clarification on a question.

    The question was “In The Wizard of Oz, what colour are Dorothy’s slippers?”

    I pointed out that the first book in the series had been reprinted as simply “The Wizard of Oz”, dropping the “Wonderful” from the title. I wanted to know if the question related to the 1900 book or the 1939 film, because the answer would be different.

    People booed me and called me a swot because I dared to have some trivial knowledge at a trivia night.

    PS: For those interested, the slippers in the book were silver. Ruby was chosen for the film to take advantage of the new Technicolor process.

  25. It’s British fashion designer Bruce Oldfield.

  28. Was at a table quiz once. Tables of 4 people.

    Our table only had 3 in it.

    About midway through the quiz, another table, who had 4 people at it, 3 or 4 of their friends arrived into the pub and sat down at their table. So they now had 7 or 8 people at their table, so therefore in their ‘team’ .

    We, a table of 3, came second by 1 point, to their table of 7 or 8.

    Quiz master said nothing, despite our protests.

    “Oh but it’s all for fun, and to raise funds for charity, stop complaining”

  29. Haven’t had chance to read the post

    But if you need some help with who that is, it’s Bruce Willis 👍

    Good luck
