Parker’s Alligator Prank For Willis

Hollywood tough guy BRUCE WILLIS nearly snapped on the set of his new movie RED after his co-star MARY-LOUISE PARKER stashed a live alligator in his trailer.

The Weeds actress was determined to play a joke on the actor, so she enlisted the help of fellow Red star John Malkovich to set up the perfect prank on the Louisiana set.

Parker smuggled a live alligator into Willis’ mobile dressing room and left the creature in a cooler, before hiding in the shower while Malkovich lured Willis into the trailer.

The actress admits Willis wasn’t particularly scared when he found the reptile, which looked more like a “bloated lizard” than a fearsome swamp beast, but the hardman was impressed by her attempt at a practical joke.

Parker tells the New York Daily News, “He was actually kind of touched that I went through the trouble.”
