Rumer Willis knows that beauty radiates from within.
The 37-year-old actress recently revealed that she thinks the "spiritual work" she's done has had a direct effect on her physical appearance.
"In an interesting way, I feel like the outer reflection is also [a result of the inner work]," Willis explained on *The Inside Edit* podcast. "I'm hotter than I've ever been."

The *Reasonable Doubt *star, who is the child of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, clarified that plastic surgery did not play a role in her new look. "I don't even get Botox anymore," Willis said. "I wish. That's why I have all these lines on my forehead when I talk. My face, literally, has physically changed from spiritual work I have done. Which has been crazy."

She continued, "I've literally not done anything other than [spiritual work]. I think I had this layer of hiding. I had this layer of, 'Don't see me. I'm not pretty.' I kept repeating that to myself."
Willis also credited the birth of her daughter, Louetta "Lou" Isley, with shifting her perspective. "I feel like once I had Lou, all of a sudden I was like, 'I can f---ing do anything,'" she said.
Willis and her then-partner, musician Derek Richard Thomas, welcomed their daughter in April 2023. "You are pure magic 🌱," Willis wrote on Instagram at the time. "You are more than we ever dreamed of ✨."

While on the podcast, Willis also discussed feeling grateful that Lou has been able to spend time with her grandfather Bruce "because I don't know if my sisters will have that."
Rumer is the eldest of Willis and Moore's three children; they also hare Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31. In 2022, Bruce was diagnosed with aphasia, which progressed to a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis the following year.
"I'm just so grateful for all the things that I do get," Rumer said on the podcast. "I'm so grateful that I get to go see him. I have other friends whose parents have passed and, even though our time together is different now, I'm so grateful still that I have this time."
She added that she has also gotten to see new sides of her father, noting that he shows a "sweetness" and "tenderness" these days that "maybe being, you know, Bruce Willis might not have allowed him."
