Actress Rumer Willis is paying tribute to her father, Bruce Willis, by embracing his fearless action star legacy. In a recent interview with Extra TV on May 20, the 36-year-old revealed she chose to perform her own stunts in the upcoming 2025 Western, Trail of Vengeance, to live up to her dad’s reputation.
Rumer said, “When I’m on set doing physical scenes, I told the stunt coordinator, ‘You need to show me how to make this look good because I’ve got a big-time legacy here to uphold—no sissy stuff.’” She added that executing the fight scenes made her feel “really empowered.”
The actress also shared her motivation for starring in a Western, noting both her parents, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, had appeared in Westerns during their careers.
Rumer provided an update on Bruce’s health, revealing that despite his diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), “He’s great. He’s really good.” Bruce, 70, shares five children: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah with Demi Moore, and Mabel and Evelyn with his wife Emma Heming Willis.
Tallulah recently spoke about their bond on The TODAY Show, saying, “He’s stable, which is good in this situation. There are hard days, but so much love. It’s shown me to never take a moment for granted. I think he’d be proud of me.”
