Ashton Kutcher gave support for "Dancing with the Stars" winner Rumer Willis as her action star dad, Bruce, was teary eyed watching his daughter's tour de force performance with partner Val Chmerkovskiy.

Mia Kunis' fiance gave support to his former stepdaughter in a Twitter post when he wrote, "Rumer I'm so proud of you" before addressing his fans and asking them "to Vote for @TheRue & @iamValC."

In another tweet, Ashton Kutcher gave full credit to Rumer Willis' partner in "Dancing with the Stars" as he marveled, "to do that with a broken toe!?Wtf? @iamValC thank you for show casing how beautiful we know @TheRue is!"

After Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy's performance in the Freestyle category, the cameras panned to Bruce Willis who was teary-eyed from his daughter's performance. The judges were equally ecstatic as they gave the favorite duo perfect scores.

But Rumer Willis' journey to the "Dancing with the Stars" was not easy.

During one of the extros for "Dancing with the Stars," Rumer Willis said that she was bullied as a young girl until she was a teenager and was constantly compared to her famous parents, particularly Demi Moore.

"When I was a teenager I was super-awkward. I don't think I really felt comfortable in my body or with how I looked and people were nasty. For years I thought, 'Maybe I can get plastic surgery. If I change my face or get really skinny, that will be the answer.' And it's not," she said.

In an interview, Demi Moore confessed that she didn't want "Dancing with the Stars" winner Rumer Willis be exposed to a lot of criticisms if she joins the show.

"When she said, 'I want to do Dancing with the Stars,' my whole insides- I have to be honest- were screaming, 'no!' One of the most beautiful things I've witnessed is watching her passion become greater than her fear... It has nothing to do with her being my kid or Bruce's kid. It has everything to do with just who she is," Ashton Kutcher's ex said.
