Bruce Willis’ family is happy that his successful role can now be seen by the masses.
During attendance “Actually love Live” opening at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, Calif., earlier this week, Bruce’s daughter, Rumer Willis, spoke exclusively with PEOPLE about her father’s television series, In the moonlight.
Noting that she personally is “so excited” that the show is now streaming on Hulu, Rumer, 35, said of her family’s reaction, “We were ecstatic, more than ecstatic, because we had watched it literally on videotape before.”
“My dad had a closet and all the episodes were literally filled to the brim on videotape,” she added. “To be able to have the time and not have to look for it on YouTube and be able to watch it all the time is a real pleasure.”
