Jesse Metcalfe has worked alongside some huge stars over the years, including Sylvester Stallone, Michael Douglas and Eva Longoria. But the Desperate Housewives alum says his most memorable co-star is Bruce Willis, with whom he filmed 2020’s Hard Kill, 2021’s Fortress and 2022’s Fortress: Sniper’s Eye. “Getting the opportunity to play opposite Bruce will forever be one of the great thrills of my career,” Jesse says of the 68-year-old action star, who was recently diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. “He was beginning to show signs of his now-public diagnosis,” Jesse acknowledges, “but you could tell he loved being on set.” Here, the 44-year-old talks to In Touch’s Katie Bruno about his latest project, Prime Video’s On a Wing and a Prayer, his dream role and his love life.

JM: I was a bit nervous to go toe-to-toe with the legend, but his warmth and charm quickly put me at ease. I wish him and his family nothing but the best.
