Demi Moore Joins Season 4 of ‘Empire’, Is Following in Daughter Rumer Willis’ Footsteps!

Like mother, like daughter! Demi Moore and her 29-year-old child Rumer Willis will both star in upcoming episodes of the hit show Empire — so exciting! According to E! News, the 54-year-old actress is joining the drama in a recurring role as a nurse named Claudia during the current season of Empire. Her daughter Rumer appeared as a guest star in Season 3 before being promoted to a series regular this season.

“They had come to me early on [to do the series]. For a variety of reasons, it wasn’t the right time personally, schedule-wise,” she explained to Entertainment Weekly. “Then, of course, when my daughter came on the show, they reached out to me, and I made sure it was something she was okay with. I just had this overwhelming intuitive feeling that I needed to say yes! I really loved the idea of being able to share something with Rumer.”

Rumer — whose dad is Demi’s second ex-husband, Bruce Willis — made her debut on the show as a singer-songwriter named Tory Ash who worked with Jamal Lyon (aka Jussie Smollett) on his musical project. Demi appeared in the Season 3 finale as a “take-charge nurse with a mysterious past” who will become “treacherously entangled” with the Lyons family. She will then continue as a recurring character this season.

This will be the mom-of-three’s first return to TV since she starred on a 2003 episode of Will & Grace. Though she is most known for her movie roles, Demi has additionally appeared on television shows General Hospital, The Master, and Moonlighting in the past.
