AS the offspring of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, it's no wonder Rumer Willis has faced a wave of cynicism after deciding to follow in her famous parents' footsteps.

But if she's concerned her critics will think she's just another party girl jumping on her parents' celebrity coat-tails she doesn't show it.

"There's always going to be this preconceived notion about what you're like," says Rumer who stars in Sorority Row, currently showing on Midland screens. "It's human nature to assume if you're a young girl in Hollywood, you're out partying every night, even if you don't."

Softly spoken and sporting a new shoulder-length hair cut and an insanely tiny waist in a dainty Hugo Boss dress, the 21-year-old couldn't be further from than the stereotypical LA blonde. But then mum and dad were keen to keep Rumer and sisters, Scout, 18, and Tallulah, 15, away from the temptations of LA.

"I grew up in Idaho, so I wasn't really around that kind of thing," she says and by 'thing' you can only imagine she means the sense of entitlement certain celebrity kids acquire.

"I feel it'd be so exhausting to do that, to just not be kind to people," she says. "Just because you're in front of the screen doesn't make you important."

Born in Kentucky in 1988 where her father was completing the film In Country, it wasn't long before the young Rumer had developed the acting bug.

"I always knew I wanted to be a part of it too, it looked like a fun group to get to hang out with."

Her film debut came in 1995's Now and Then, a film her mother starred in and produced. The following year, she appeared alongside her mum again in the film Striptease. Taking time out to concentrate on her schoolwork, she didn't return to the big screen until Hostage in 2005, this time alongside dad before making her adult breakthrough in last year's The House Bunny.

Now comes spoof horror flick, Sorority Row, a remake of the 1983 slasher movie The House on Sorority Row, in which Rumer and her fellow glam college girls are terrorised by a mysterious killer.

"Girls kick ass and you rarely see that in a horror film," she says.
