Tallulah Willis says she’s grateful that her jawline resembles that of her father, Bruce Willis.
Tallulah, 31, posted a series of photos on Instagram on Wednesday, October 8, that highlighted the similarities between her and Bruce, 70. She chose images of her dad during his Die Hard era, when he dominated the box office with his heroic action roles, strong chin and impish smile.
“My Lordy! if I am NOT this man’s child 💛💛,” she captioned the post, tagging the gossip blogger Perez Hilton. “Wow this is making me so full and emotional this early Wednesday morning. The face, the smile, dare I say it the chin (hey @perez remember when you bullied a 13 year old for money?) that made me want to end it all, is now the most precious gift I could be bestowed with.”
She continued, “I used to not be able to say the word chin out loud. It was my dirty sinful malady, center stage for all the world to see. At least that’s what you guys said, over and over and over and over. What a cursed child I was for inheriting this joyful, expressive feature, alive with emotion!”

In conclusion, she told her followers, “Love u all. stay the course.”
After posting her thoughts, Talullah received lots of support in the comments section.
“I love you so much,” her older sister Rumer replied, while model Karen Elson wrote, “You are absolutely beautiful inside and out ❤️.”

Sailor Brinkley Cook, the daughter of Christie Brinkley and her ex-husband Peter Cook, remarked, “We all have a Perez story 😅🥲💪 you’re as gorgeous as you are powerful.”
Hilton, 47, has yet to respond to Tallulah’s mention of him. During the 2000s, when Tallulah and her sisters were teens, Hilton became famous for his snark-filled blog where he commented on celebrity news.
Bruce and ex-wife Demi Moore share Tallulah as well as Rumer, 37, and Scout, 34. The former couple have maintained an amicable relationship since their split, and Moore, 62, has been supportive of Bruce as he battles frontotemporal dementia, which impacts language and behavior. He was diagnosed with the condition in 2023.
In an August interview Diane Sawyer, Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed that her husband had moved into a separate home with a full-time care team. The second property is located near the home Heming Willis primarily lives in with their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.
“It was one of the hardest decisions that I’ve had to make so far,” Heming Willis, 49, explained at the time. “But I knew, first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters. You know, he would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.”
