SHE’S the daughter of one of Hollywood’s most beautiful women.

And now Rumer Willis has opened up about being in the shadow of her mother, actor Demi Moore.

“I compared myself to her,” Willis, 26, said.

She admitted to feeling insecure because of Moore’s looks.

“I just didn’t feel like we were even the same caliber,” Willis said in an interview with Us Weekly.

“I would go, “My mom wears smaller jeans than me! Oh, God. Maybe I’m not skinny enough.’”

Willis — whose father is Die Hard star Bruce Willis — said she felt like she couldn’t live up to Moore’s celebrity status.

“Every girl looks up to her mother, but my mom was larger-than-life and I felt I could never be like her.”

She said she was the target of trolls who branded her “Potato Head”, Us Weekly reports.

“I was just so insecure with who I was that I kept trying to change myself to fit into what I thought everyone wanted.”

Moore, 52, told Us she was “so proud” of her daughter and described the criticism her daughters Rumer, Scout, 23, and Tallulah Belle, 21, have faced as “painful”.

“The tabloid bullying all three of my children have experienced, especially in their teens, has truly been painful,” Moore told the magazine.

Rumer has recently found fame on the US version of Dancing With the Stars, were Moore, 52, has turned out to support her.

While she has unveiled a fit and healthy physique while appearing on the show, Willis previously slammed a fashion brand for Photoshopping images to make her look thinner, saying “that’s f ... ed up”.

“If you’re hiring me to be a representative of your brand and you’re changing who I am like drastically changing how I look (while) everybody knows how I look (by) taking away the muscle — I just thought it was odd, you know?,” Willis said in October.
