Bruce Willis’ daughter shares how ‘severe anorexia’ resulted in hair loss
Tallulah Willis, daughter of actor Bruce Willis, is opening up about her own health not long after fans got an update on her father’s struggles with frontotemporal dementia.
Tallulah Willis detailed her hair loss journey that resulted from her battle with “severe anorexia” in an Instagram post Sunday, June 29.
The 31-year-old, whose mother is Demi Moore, posted a few photos that were taken in summer 2022 while she was at Driftwood Recovery in Austin, Texas.

And usually they slipped off because they nothing to grab into. I chose to crop some of them because for me this truly isn’t a stage to show off how I nearly starved to death (publicly!), but I think the photos serve as a teaching tool.”
Willis then posted several pictures from this past spring that captured how her hair has grown back since going through rehab.
“I didn’t realize how comforting a big bun could feel like, how sexy it feels for your hair bounce a little when you walk,” she wrote. “I didn’t value myself or my health but I am of the lucky who have made it to the other side.”
This is not the first time Willis, who became engaged to fiancé Justin Acee in December, has opened up about her eating disorder. She noted that she made her disorder public, and now wants to share her recovery as well.
