The 80-year-old director confessed that he was reluctant to give the lead role of James Cole in the 1995 sci-fi flick to Willis because of his 'Trumpian' mouth which, to Gilliam, resembled a butthole.

Terry Gilliam didn't want to cast Bruce Willis in '12 Monkeys' because his rectal mouth resembled"somebody's a******".

In a new oral history of the movie for Inverse, Terry explained:"I had never been a great fan of Bruce's before, but I liked talking to him, and I thought, 'OK this guy's smart, he's funny.' Gilliam also revealed that he snubbed Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage for the role of James before settling for Willis in the leading role in the dystopian time-travel drama which is about a fictional 1996 in which almost all of humanity is wiped out by deadly virus.
