Actor Bruce Willis is to act as a judge at an Italian beauty contest, to select Miss Italia, later this month.
According to reports, Marcello Cambi, spokesperson for the national beauty contest, said: "Each year we look for a big name that is attractive to the public and pleasant for the girls."
Chief organiser Patrizia Mirigliani said: "We thought we'd surprise the girls by inviting a big star who is also considered a major sex symbol."
The pageant final will take place on 19 September when the jury, which is headed up by Willis, and the public will cast their votes to pick the next Miss Italia.
