Sexy, but at what cost?
On display for the completely crazy The Substancea horrific and feminist tale by Coralie Fargeat to see in theaters (we explain why in this article dedicated to her nude scene) Demi Moore returned to the exhausting filming conditions of a cult film.
Or more “cult” than “cult” some would say: erotic drama Indecent proposalwhere she rubs shoulders with Robert Redford. The playboy plays a billionaire dreaming of stealing the heart of Demi, a faithful and loving wife, for just one night. For how much would a husband agree to leave his loved one in the arm of a wealthy man, even if only for one evening? This is the big question of this film by Adrian Lyne (Nine and a half weeks, Flashdance).
When the film came out, Demi Moore was considered THE sex symbol of the 90s. Yes, but the preparation she imposed on herself for her performance cost her a lot… And remembering it hurts her a lot today. 'today. But why?
It's simple, she says…
Demi Moore finally reclaims her body and her sexuality: she no longer wants to be reduced to a “sex symbol”
On CBS Sunday Morning, Demi Moore testifies.
Every day, the actress trained even before shooting to be “on top” in the skin of this desiring lover. Demi Moore remembers this grueling routine: cycling 30 miles a day while filming. Just that, yes. Per day.
“Does it matter that much to put in so much effort? Probably not. I thought my value was in the attraction I aroused. The idea of what I did to my body is so crazy, so ridiculous“, she laments today. She puts it down to a “quest for beauty“…
Obsessive quest which pursued the star for a long, very long time. Even if it means that the sexists come out of the woods at the very beginning of the 2000s and relegate the actress to the rank of “has-been” whose beauty, in fact, would no longer be anything but an old memory.
20 years ago, Demi Moore revealed herself in a bikini for Charlie’s Angels. Another sequence as sexy as it is cult which earned him… Inappropriate comments, emphasizing his age: appearing like this at 40 years old displeased the machos. She testifies to this in this article.
It is therefore logical to see Demi Moore play again in The Substance a former Hollywood star ready to do anything to find eternal youth. The role of a life, although it inspires some criticism in some: while the work is on the grill of cosmetic surgery, the various plastic operations undergone by Demi Moore are detailed in detail in this very analysis. relayed.
We consider the actress “younger than ever“.
Another most ironic formulation if we think about what The Substance stages. In any case, Demi Moore is determined to regain control over her body and her sexuality. She already does it in an interview: we recommend this testimony about her cheekiest role.
