Rumer Willis defends her success
Rumer Willis doesn’t owe her acting career to her famous parents.
The 21-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore admits the family name gets her auditions, but insists she wins parts because she is a great performer.
The budding actress – who stars in upcoming horror film ‘Sorority Row’ – told BANG Showbiz: “You can’t do anything about who your parents are. I think everyone has opportunities and everyone has doors that are open to them in different ways. If you’re talented you’ll get work. If you suck then you won’t. In the end, talent is all that matters because you could go and get an audition, but if you go in there and you suck you’re not going to get a job.”
Rumer is the eldest of Bruce and Demi’s three daughters. She grew up on film sets but only decided to become an actress “recently”. Rumer denies her parents steered her into the industry, insisting neither one has ever tried to offer her career advice.
She explained: “In terms of my parents, they let me make my own way. They’ve just been entirely supportive and extremely great in that way so I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

I personally do not think she is a very talented actress. I don’t believe for a second that her parents have nothing to with her getting jobs, other than opening doors WHICH by the way is a HUGE part of landing roles and having opportunities especially when it comes to acting.

“I don’t believe for a second that her parents have nothing to with her getting jobs” .. your double negative means her parents DO have something to do with her getting jobs. And I agree with you.
I also agree with you that this child is the ugliest human being on the planet. What, you didn’t say that? Well, you were thinking it. Everyone is thinking it. Who can’t be thinking it? Rocky Dennis lives!

It just goes to show you that two people that look like Bruce Willis & Demi Moore doesn’t always mean they’ll have attractive children…
