    Rumer Willis is desperate to "live up to" her dad Bruce's legacy

    The 36-year-old actress - the eldest daughter of the 'Die Hard' action movie legend and his Hollywood star ex-wife Demi Moore - is following in his footsteps with new Western 'Trail of Vengeance', and she wants to live up to the family name with her stunts


    Speaking to Extra, she said: "When I'm on the sets, especially doing any sort of like physical stuff, I pulled the stunt guy Dale aside and I was like, 'Listen, you need to show me how to make this look good because I've got a big-time legacy right here to make sure that I live up to, so none of this, like, sissy stuff.' "

    Rumer admitted the shoot was "very aggressive at time", but she wasn't fazed.

    She added: "We had a lot of fight scenes. We would joke on set about how much I get slapped around in this movie. It's very aggressive.

    "I felt really empowered!"

    She plans to show the film with her father, who was previously diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a degenerative disease, which causes behavioural changes and communication difficulties.

    Rumer will "absolutely" be spending Father's Day - which is celebrated on June 15 in the United States - with Bruce, 70, while she also gave an update on his ongoing health battle.

    She said: "He's great. He's really good."

    Rumer also had some kind words for her mother Demi, whose role in 'The Substance' earned her an Academy Award nomination earlier this year.

    She said: "To sit there and watch her get acknowledgment, not only from her peers but just this industry and people as a whole, I think, was so lovely, not only as her daughter but also as a peer and an actor as well because she's incredible. She's so talented."

    And she previously opened up about the bond she shares with her sisters Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31, as she admitted some people might think they are "crazy and weird" for their dynamic.

    She told the 'What in the Winkler' podcast: "We all still take baths together, my sisters and I.

    "And that's just the kind of house that I grew up in.

    "People might think that that's crazy and weird, but I don't."
