Kevin Smith is continuing his feud withBruce Willis, declaring that the actor doesn’t actually like making movies.
The two crossed paths on 2010’sCop Out, the comedy starring Willis and Tracy Morgan with Smith directing. Though the pair’s dislike for each other has been well documented since, Smith brings it to light again in his new book.
“Cop Outcould have been a great experience if it were not for the fact that I met true darkness in Bruce Willis,” Smith writes in the bookKevin Smith’s Secret Stash: The Definitive Visual History,according to Screen Crush.“I love making movies and he does not, at all.”
A rep for Willis didn’t immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Asked about their relationship, Willis toldTime Outin 2013: “Poor Kevin. He’s just a whiner, you know? We had some personal issues about how we approached work.
“I don’t have an answer for him. I’m never going to call him out and lay him out in public. Sometimes you just don’t get along.”
“A lot of people are gonna be like, ‘Oh, you’re just trying to blame the movie on him,’ " Smith said. “I had no f—ing help from this dude whatsoever.”
Butaccording to aHollywood Reporterstory from 2011, Smith’s use of cannabis was a source on contention on set.
“He smokes way too much pot,” a talent rep with a connection to the film said of Smith. “He sat behind his monitor. He didn’t interact with the actors. The actors felt they were on their own.”
Smith fired back at the time, saying, “I dealt with every actor who wanted to be dealt with on that set.”
