Worker's name change ends argument
A supermarket shelf-stacker has changed his name to that of his hero Bruce Willis with the help of a Shropshire company specialising in crazy name changes.
Chris Pratt got into hot water with his employers after putting his nickname - Bruce Willis - on his name badge at work instead of his own.
Rather than follow shop bosses' orders to remove the badge he turned to The Legal Deed Service in Market Drayton for help.
The company processed the necessary paperwork to transform Mr Pratt into his hero Bruce Willis overnight.
The 20-year-old, who is currently studying media production at Northumbria University, Newcastle, was given the jazzy moniker by pals because of his self-confessed obsession with the Die Hard films.
The now aptly named Bruce Willis said: "After everyone started calling me Bruce as a joke, I decided to change my name at work, and everyone including the staff and customers loved it and took it in the spirit it was intended.
"Unfortunately, my bosses at the supermarket didn't find it funny and asked me to remove it from my work badge straight away."
Jamie Jackson, chief executive at the name change firm, said: "It is amazing how many people change their names to that of their favourite celebrity.
"We all found it so amusing when Chris rang up to change his name."
Mr Willis, who is originally from Stockton-On-Tees, added: "I am not one for losing an argument, it is ridiculous really what lengths I will go to in order to get one over on someone."
