Bruce Willis gave Samuel L. Jackson this billion-dollar career advice

It took Jackson 14 years until he understood Willis' advice.

"And it didn't occur to me until I got that Nick Fury role - and I had a nine-picture deal to be Nick Fury - that, 'Oh, I'm doing what Bruce said. I've got this character now.'"

Jackson took on the role of Nick Fury in 12 Marvel films. He first put on the eye patch for "Iron Man" in 2008.

"Happy birthday, BW! We love you," Moore, who was married to Bruce from 1987 through 2000, wrote alongside a carousel that included never-before-seen photos. 

In a few follow-up posts, she shared more photos of her parents. 

Tallulah praised her "hero" and expressed how proud she is to be a Willis. 

"But really - this is my Dad. throughout my childhood I was so frequently asked what it was like to have capital B Bruce Willis as a dad, that somehow these people thought that when they saw him jump off buildings via a 20ft screen he remained EXTRA LARGE.

"He's a person, a man, a son, a kid from Jersey who hit the mother f---ng jackpot of life by the stroke of luck he couldn't even explain," she continued. "I love this Jersey boy, who combed my hair in baths, and always made sure I layed a towel down before eating on his bed, and is known far and wide as the Corn Cake King to our safe circle of intimates.

"For years I would get red in the face when people found out my 'full' name," she concluded. "But I'm pretty damn proud to be Tallulah Belle Bruce Willis."

Scout Willis, the middle child of the three adult Willis girls, dubbed her dad the "greatest of all time."

Emma, mother of Bruce's two youngest daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, shared a photo of the actor smiling on a four-wheeler. In the caption, she asked her followers to send along birthday wishes for him.

"It's Bruce's birthday, and if there's one thing I know, it's that there's no greater fan than a Bruce fan," she wrote. "So flood him with all the love today - he will feel it, I swear he will. You are one powerful bunch. I love how you rally for him, and I'm so grateful that he has you."

"You know, as we always celebrate," Scout, 33, told Fox News Digital at the Cure Addiction Now inaugural fundraising evening at The Beverly Hills Hotel, when asked about the family's plans for Bruce's birthday.
