'Sign me on!" Charlize Theron says she wouldn't mind replacing Bruce Willis for a lesbian spin on 'Die Hard'
Charlize Theron has reiterated that she is 100% keen to star in a 'Die Hard' reboot with a lesbian love story.
A Twitter user first suggested the storyline back in December 2020.
"Lesbian Christmas rom coms are all well and good but what I REALLY want is a Die Hard where Charlize Theron goes on a rampage to save her wife," the tweep wrote.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the South African-born actress said she would take on the role if offered.
"It’s a great idea. That’s why I replied on Twitter. Because I just thought that was kind of brilliant. I was like, 'This person needs to start pitching. That’s a great idea.' And the fact that it would be two women, I was like, 'Yeah, sign me on.'"
