Willis mocks Cheney on Letterman

Bruce Willis poked fun at Dick Cheney's recent shooting accident by appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman made-up like the US vice president's hunting victim Harry Whittington.

The actor had tiny wounds on the left side of his face, resembling a spray of buckshot holes and when he smiled he revealed one tiny hole in his front tooth where he was allegedly hit by the ammunition.

Willis joked: "I got shot." He then lifted his hat to reveal his semi-bald head covered in band-aids, adding: "Shot all my hair off."

The Die Hard actor went on to explain: "I was playing cards with some politician guys, sitting around drinking all night.

"After a bottle and half of Jack Daniels, somebody came up with the idea: 'Let's go hunting.' It seemed like such a good idea at the time…

"I'm thinking we're going to go out and hunt rhino or moose, (but we hunt) quail. But it's all really a blur to me."
