Willis felt strongly about the scenes in the forthcoming action movie, which also stars Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich. The 55-year-old Hollywood actor demanded filmmakers remove every shot of him from the production if they took Mirren out.
He told Fox News, 'I said if that scene is not in the film I want them to take every shot of me out of the movie. But it's in. It's so, it's just sexy. Who knew?
'I think Helen would've been doing action films a while ago with that .50 calibre machine gun in a ball gown. Wow!'
Malkovich also backed up his co-star, saying, 'What more could you want than Helen Mirren with a firearm? One can pass over to the other side and be happy.'
