Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Rumer is determined to become a Hollywood star in her own right - and show critics she is more than just a “celebrity child”.
The 19-year-old is a regular on the Hollywood party circuit, but she insists she isn’t just feeding off her parents’ fame - and that everyone she meets discovers her extra depth.
She says, “I think when people meet me they’re shocked. Because the idea of celebrity children is that they’re trust-fund babies that don’t have any desire to work and they’re just going to ride their parents’ train. And in some cases that stereotype has proved right. I would hope that after people meet me, they would give me the benefit of the doubt. They’re kind of like, ‘Wow, you’re really much more chill and down-to-earth than I thought you would be.’”
And Willis Jr rejects claims she has had acting roles handed to her because of her famous family, insisting she has had to fight extra battles to become acknowledged as an actress in her own right.
Rumer - who appears in new movie From Within and forthcoming film Wild Cherry - says, “The interesting thing about Hollywood is that everyone has different ways of getting their foot in the door. Some of the opportunities that I’ve had because of how I’ve grown up I wouldn’t have had otherwise. And also some of the things that I have to work harder for that somebody else might not.”
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ eldest daughter showed off her singing skills at a Hollywood party last week - but failed to impress the celebrity crowd.
Rumer Willis, who has hinted that she’s planning to record an album, joined the house band at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Thursday night to belt out a rendition of Missy Elliott’s The Rain.
But onlookers were far from amazed. One partygoer says, “It wasn’t that she was that off-tune or horrible, but she just wasn’t that good and the crowd was not feeling it.”
Rumer Willis goes for a new look at the Marc Jacobs store in Beverly Hills, California, sporting a short black mini dress, black and white aviator sunglasses and a short black chopped hairdo. After shopping, the 19-year-old budding actress chatted to some friends and enjoyed a cigarette.
In this video, you see Rumer Willis walking into the Villa nightclub in LA. When the paparazzi confront the bouncer - asking why an 18 year old Rumer was allowed in the bar, Rumer is swiftly kicked out of the club.
