Bruce Willis appeared on "Friends" for free after losing a bet to which cast member?
Fresh off "The Sixth Sense" and a decade of eight-figure paychecks, Bruce Willis was one of the highest-paid actors on earth in 2000. So when he turned up on "Friends" for a three-episode arc and didn't keep a dime, it was only because he was settling up a wager. Which cast member on "Friends" did Bruce Willis lose a bet to?
▼
Correct Answer: Matthew Perry
(Source)Bruce Willis wagered against his own movie, which probably didn't thrill his director or castmates. He'd just shot the hitman comedy "The Whole Nine Yards," and Perry bet him a free "Friends" arc if it opened at number one. It led the box office for three straight weeks and Willis paid up. He played Ross's girlfriend's overprotective dad, and donated his SAG check to amfAR and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. He won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor. If losing a bet means my movie opens at number one and I win an Emmy, I might need to take my gambling more seriously.
