Rumer Willis Channeling Her ‘Inner-Beyonce’ For ‘DWTS’

Rumer Willis might soon have the unstoppable power of the Beyhive behind her in the ballroom with her latest confession on Access Hollywood Live!

Rumer and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy visited with Billy Bush and Kit Hoover, where she revealed who she drew inspiration from on the first night of “Dancing with the Stars.”

“I try to just think about having a good time and I was trying to channel my inner-Beyonce real hard that night,” she said of her “DWTS” debut that has many people calling her a frontrunner. “You just have to find your intention. It’s like acting or singing. If you can sing a song and have a beautiful voice, but if you don’t have the intention behind what you’re doing, I think some of the magic and sparkle gets lost in it.”

So why did the 26-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore decide to enter the competition?

“I really wanted to learn how to dance… that’s kind of my main goal of what I hope I can learn from all this. I want to be able to be a dancer and be able to have these skills, and also have the opportunity great for people to get to know me better,” she said of her inspiration to compete.

Rumer explained that both her dad and mom have been beyond supportive and encouraging of her quest for the coveted Mirrorball.

“He was so proud [after the first night]. I called him on his birthday and he just kept talking about how proud he was. It was sweet. It was really awesome,” she said of dad Bruce.

As for Demi – who Rumer revealed is obsessed with everything “DWTS” since she joined the show – the actress has been extra supportive of her daughter, but not to the point of being a crazy stage mom.

“She knows everything that’s going on,” Rumer said of Demi, explaining that she’s an avid watcher of the show’s live stream feeds of the contestants rehearsals. “She has it on lock down, she knows who is doing what song, the hair-dos, she’s got wardrobe palette boards. It’s awesome. I love it!”
