He may be royalty on Planet Hollywood, but Bruce Willis heads to Wilmington, Del., when he wants a taste of home.
Willis, whose hometown of Penns Grove, N.J., is just across the Delaware River, picked Wilmington as the location for his next movie "The Broadway Brawler.""I had no thoughts of doing it here at the time," producer Joseph Feury said. "But when Bruce said, `Let's go to Wilmington,' a light went off. He wanted to take something back to the city."
Willis often stops in Wilmington while visiting his father, who lives in Penns Grove, and is a frequent diner at Vincente's, a local restaurant.
"He's a bug about roasted garlic," owner Vincent Mancari said. "And he likes the crab cake and the Caesar salad."
Last year, Willis announced plans to build a $50 million entertainment and retail complex in Penns Grove. He's also an owner - along with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and other stars - of the restaurant chain "Planet Hollywood."
