YOU may not have heard of Jai Courtney's name before, but chances are you'll soon know it well.

The 26-year-old actor is enjoying a stellar rise to fame after booking three big-budget Hollywood movies in a row and is hotly tipped to become Australia's next big Hollywood star.

The humble Sydneysider has already starred alongside Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher and is in town to promote his latest flick, A Good Day To Die Hard.

Courtney stars as Bruce Willis' son in the blockbuster film, with intense speculation that his role was set up to one day allow him to take over the Die Hard franchise.

Next up, he star's alongside Kate Winslet and Shailene Woodley in the highly-anticipated Divergent.

Courtney spoke to news.com.au about his rise to fame, his likeness to Bruce Willis' and the ironic piece of advice given to him by Tom Cruise and Bruce Willis in the above video.

A Good Day to Die Hard has so far grossed $256.7 million worldwide. It opens in Australian cinemas today.
