It's hard to picture someone else playing the role of John McClane in Die Hard, but Bruce Willis wasn't actually the first choice for the role. When production of the film—which is based on Roderick Thorp's novel, Nothing Lasts Forever—began, it was none other than Frank Sinatra who was asked to play the lead.
Interestingly, Willis wasn't even the studio's second choice for the role, which was offered to several other actors before him.
By November 1987, production had inked a deal—to the tune of $5 million—with Willis and was ready to bring Nothing Lasts Forever to the big screen. Eight months later, the film saw incredible success at the box office, grossing $143.6 million worldwide.
Die Hard is still considered a classic action film and has been named the "greatest action thriller" of all time.
