LOS ANGELES, June 17 (UPI) -- Rumer Willis impressed former stepfather Ashton Kutcher with her recent body positive essay.

Willis made headlines for promoting healthy self-image during her time on the ABC reality competition. The actress previously revealed she was bullied for her looks as a child, and said Dancing with the Stars helped her conquer her fear of failure in the essay.

"We all need to stop bullying ourselves and being cruel to other women," she declared. "Life's hard enough as it is. Let's find strength in the fact that we're different and unique. Let's allow ourselves to say, 'These are my flaws, but I'm still beautiful.'"

Kutcher was married to Willis' mom Demi Moore from 2005 to 2013, and the actress has admitted to having a crush on the actor before he became her stepfather. Kutcher is currently engaged to Mila Kunis, with whom he shares 8-month-old daughter Wyatt.
