Scout Willis, the daughter of famed actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, is speaking out about her insecurities over her physical appearance and taking the brave step to prove that she is comfortable in her own skin, regardless of what the haters may think. 29-year-old Scout took to Instagram this week and shared some gorgeous new photos along with a powerful message to her fans. It was a beautiful moment for Scout to celebrate herself and how far she’s come since the days of being a teenager in the public eye.
Although Scout has been trying to break into the family business and pursue a career in entertainment, like her sisters Rumer and Tallulah, she largely remains private about the personal aspects of her life.
“I often feel too afraid to post content like this, photos of myself with no greater purpose or significance (to my mind) a story runs that it’s too ego driven, too selfish, too something.. or else it’s that I am not pretty enough, not good enough, not _____ enough.” Scout wrote on Instagram for her latest post.
