Rumer Willis' stepdad pin-up

Saturday, 13 September 2008

Rumer Willis used to have posters of her stepdad Ashton Kutcher on her wall.

The 20-year-old budding actress - the daughter of Demi Moore and her ex-husband Bruce Willis - found it difficult to comprehend that her mother was dating the 'Punk'd' star, who is 15 years Demi's junior.

She said: "It was strange when mom started seeing Ashton in 2003. I was 15 and he was a real heartthrob - I had pictures of him on my wall! I remember mom saying her new 'friend' was going to hang out with us. I said, 'What's his name?' And she goes, 'Ashton.'

"And I said, 'Whoa - Ashton Kutcher?' I freaked out a bit and blushed. When he came round, though, it wasn't awkward. I realised I'd never seen my mother happier. It was like watching two 16-year-olds going to the prom!"

Rumer soon learned to cope with her mother's new romance, and was thrilled when Demi and Ashton tied the knot in September 2005.

She added to Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "Ashton is like a father figure, in that I respect him and ask him for advice. But he is also someone I can relate too. I see him more as an older brother or uncle.

"Recently I wanted to have my braces removed and Ashton said, 'I'll make you a deal. You can get them of if you work for my dad at his construction company.' So I did. He wanted me to realise you have to earn the things you want in life."
