Demi Moore Shares Daughter Scout's Words on Self-Acceptance

2024-12-03

Demi Moore is on a remarkable journey of self-acceptance and is striving to be a great example to her daughters. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the 2024 Gotham Awards, she shared how her perspective has evolved over the years. Her middle daughter Scout Willis has also chosen a similar path of self-acceptance. Moore, 62, recalls Scout's words vividly: "I want to quit wasting time focusing on all that I’m not, when I could be celebrating all that I am." Moore shares daughters Rumer, 36, and Tallulah, 30, with her ex-husband Bruce Willis.

Journey with Aging and Self-Judgment

Moore's words came after she opened up about her journey with aging. She said, "I don't know if I would contextualize it just around aging as much as looking at the idea of how, over the course of my whole life. How much I have had judgment against myself that I can look back and go, 'At 20, at 30.' " The G.I. Jane star added, "I was finding things that weren't good enough … and so my relationship with it now is much more in a joyous acceptance."

Embracing the Fullness of Self

Moore emphasizes that while there are aspects one may wish to change, in the grand scheme, she sees herself in the fullness of who she is rather than just the external idea. This mindset has had a profound impact on her and her daughters.

Supporting Scout's Performances

Recently, Moore supported Scout as she performed a live set at The Loft inside the Big Apple's City Winery on Nov. 15. She wrote on her Instagram Stories, "@scoutlaruewillis live in NYC," as Scout sang her song "Over and Over." This shows the strong bond between mother and daughter and Moore's unwavering support.
