Bruce Willis believes his three daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore have turned out well because the stars tried hard to shield them from the celebrity world.

Bruce and Demi mostly raised Rumer (17), Scout (14) and Tallulah Belle (12) on their rural range in Idaho and Bruce believes that’s helped them a lot: “The kids are great. They’re well adjusted and they’re really cool. They treat people nicely and have turned out to be really kind, thoughtful kids - not what you would think of as Hollywood brats.”

“For the first 10 years I felt it was my job to protect my girls from the world and celebrity. They didn’t even know their mother and father were famous until they got older.”

But as the girls are getting older (and, in Rumer’s case, making famous friends), Bruce realises he’s going to have to take a different tack: “Now I feel I have to get them ready to go out into the world, so it’s a very different thought process.”
