Tallulah Willis, the daughter of actor Bruce Willis, shared a video of herself on the red carpet with her dad when she 10 years old to show an early sign that she was on the autism spectrum.

Tallulah Willis, daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, revealed in an adorable throwback Instagram post that she is autistic.

Tallulah shared a video of herself with her dad at the 2004 premiere of The Whole Ten Yards. In the video, she can be seen playing with Bruce's bald head and ears while he was being interviewed on the red carpet.


The now-30-year-old fashion designer captioned her post:

“tell me your [sic] autistic without telling me your autistic."

You can see below.

Viewers of the post applauded Tallulah for sharing her diagnosis, and they, in turn, shared their support.

One commenter wanted to learn more about her journey, writing, per HuffPost:

“Not sure how much of your journey you’ve shared but would love to read more."

In her response, Tallulah revealed the post marked the first time she'd ever shared her diagnosis publicly.

“actually this is the first time I’ve ever publicly shared my diagnosis. Found out this summer and it’s changed my life.”

Last year, Tallulah penned an essay for Vogue in which she revealed her own health kept her from confronting her father's 2022 aphasia diagnosis.

In the essay, she opened up about her struggle with anorexia. While receiving treatment for it at a recovery center in Texas, she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Tallulah shared it became difficult to face what her father was going through.

“I admit that I have met Bruce’s decline in recent years with a share of avoidance and denial that I’m not proud of."
“The truth is that I was too sick myself to handle it.”

After her treatment and BPD diagnosis, though, Tallulah revealed she gained the resources necessary to navigate this new chapter.

“But I now have the tools to be present in all facets of my life, and especially in my relationship with my dad."
“I can bring him an energy that’s bright and sunny, no matter where I’ve been. In the past I was so afraid of being destroyed by sadness, but finally I feel that I can show up and be relied upon.”
“I can savor that time, hold my dad’s hand, and feel that it’s wonderful."
“I know that trials are looming, that this is the beginning of grief, but that whole thing about loving yourself before you can love somebody else—it’s real.”

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
