Rumer Willis: I’m not a trust fund baby

**DevilDoll2025** · April 28th, 2008, 09:51 AM

BRUCE WILLS 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."

That just proves that she's is not down to earth and cool.

Is it normal to come to you and say that wow you seem more down to earth and plaa plaa plaa than I thought. I don't know the manners in America, but in here that is not normal.

Those are some parts to be proud of... From Within looks like a bad horror movie, the House Bunny and in Whore she's listed as Smoking Girl... huh?

And it looks like she's in pre production on a blockbuster with Rob Schneider and Kristen Cavallari

Wow, I don't think anyone here would have ever thought that nepotism had any role at all in her getting publicity and other kinds of opportunities (ads, etc.).

Why she has enough beauty and talent on her own merits to make it big without the willis name!

Isn't she too old for that?

**NicoleWasHere** · April 28th, 2008, 11:52 AM

She thinks that by having the same head as her dad, she can get anywhere, do anything, and woo everybody.

And that's not counting whatever the fuck's on her shoulders.

People who actually are down to earth never say that they are down to earth.

She may not need a trust fund, but bitch sure as hell needs a chin fund.

I hearby donate $1 CDN to the chin fund, I can't look at her mug much longer.
