Tallulah Willisis getting candid about being in recovery from an eating disorder.
On Wednesday, the 30-year-old, who is the daughter ofDemi MooreandBruce Willis, shared an honest post on Instagram about her diagnosis where she admitted she was “romanticizing unhealthy times.”
“I’m having an intens moment of romanticizing unhealthy times and how it felt to move through the day in that size body,” she wrote. “Just wanted to voice it because I know (hope) I’m not alone.”
Meanwhile,Ewan McGregor’s model daughter Esther added, “🙏🏻 thank you for this. Truly a thought that consumes more people than we know. ❤️.”
During an appearance onThe Drew Barrymore Showin November 2023, Tallulah opened up about why she decided to share her experience of having an eating disorder.
“I felt like the things that had occurred in more recent years, I very visibly was struggling with an eating disorder and because of the age of social media and that was very present and there was actually a tremendous amount of concern for me that I got on my Instagram, and as I’m early in recovery in that, it’s interesting to talk about it because I don’t know if I had my full footing, I’m just trying every day,” she told hostDrew Barrymore.
“I wanted to talk about that because I felt like it was really important to share that it was very scary, that it was really hard,” Tallulah added.

“For the last four years, I have suffered from anorexia nervosa,” she wrote.
Tallulah also spoke about having depression and being diagnosed withattention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)and borderline personality disorder. She shared that after being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 25, she was put on medication to treat it. However, she said the medication also came with “appetite-suppressant side effect.”
“There’s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly,” she wrote at the time. “People are like, ‘Oh wow!’ And then quickly it turns to, ‘Are you okay?’ My friends and family were terrified, and I dismissed it.”
