Since its release in 1988, Die Hard has left its fans wondering if it can be classed as a Christmas film – but one of its stars may have just put that very debate to rest.<\/p>\n

Over three decades since its release, Die Hard has been a big hit with people everywhere, with families all over the world tuning in to watch it during the Christmas period.<\/p>\n

The movie follows Bruce Willis’, who narrowly dodged his death while playing his character John McClane, a New York cop who goes to see his family on Christmas Eve – but when he gets to his wife’s office Christmas party, some bad guys take over the building leaving John to deal with all the commotion.<\/p>\n

Even though the movie doesn’t sound very festive, the storyline takes place on Christmas Eve, and that’s why some people think it’s a Christmas film.<\/p>\n

And Robert Davi, who plays FBI agent Big Johnson in the movie, says it “absolutely” is a Christmas movie.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mirror, he insisted: “Well, of course it’s a Christmas movie. They re-released it in the States and it did terrific at the box office. It’s playing right now in all the theatres because it’s a Christmas movie.”<\/p>\n

Robert confessed that he didn’t initially see the film as a Christmas movie, but his perspective has changed over time.<\/p>\n

The 72-year-old Hollywood star, explained: “Well, when I first was doing it, I didn’t think it was a Christmas movie in 1988 or whatever it was.”<\/p>\n

Robert continued: “It’s set during Christmas. It’s set during the holiday season. So it has that vibe. It’s become a Christmas film; many people’s favourite Christmas film.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Besides Die Hard, Robert has starred in big films like The Goonies and James Bond’s Licence to Kill.<\/p>\n

He’s also a talented singer, with his powerful voice earning him success in the jazz charts thanks to his Davi Sings Sinatra Album.<\/p>\n

In 2011, he released Mistletoe and Holly to support The Salvation Army in providing emergency assistance to millions of families in need.<\/p>\n

Discussing how this collaboration came about, he shared: “Well, I did an album called Davi Sings Sinatra that went to number six on Billboard Jazz, and then after that, I met some people from the Salvation Army and I wanted to do a song that could help raise money, so I went into the studio did that and then gave it to them.”<\/p>\n
