The American actress continues her artistic renaissance that began at the Cannes Film Festival in an unexpected way for her.
“In shock”, the sixty-year-old received the first prize of her long career this Sunday by winning the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy for “The Substance”.
“30 years ago, a producer told me that I was a popcorn actress (…). It had such an impact on me that a few years ago, I said to myself that maybe it was… be over for me,” she said in a poignant speech.
An almost religious silence followed by cries of intense joy. Rumer, Scout LaRue and Tallulah Willis were very proud of their famous mother this Sunday, January 5. It was from the living room of one of them that they followed Demi Moore's unexpected coronation at the Golden Globes, winning the award for best actress in a comedy for her incredible score in The Substance. Unexpected because she herself “absolutely didn’t expect it.” “I’m a little in shock”declared the star who is experiencing, like another 90s icon Pamela Anderson, nominated in another category, a superb artistic renaissance.
“I have been doing this job for a very long time, more than 45 years and this is the first time I have won anything,” recalls the 62-year-old actress who says to herself “extremely grateful.” Demi Moore was first nominated for the Golden Globes in 1991 for Ghost, a second six years later for If These Walls Could Talk. But after that, nothing more.
“30 years ago, a producer told me I was a popcorn actress. At the time, I felt like that meant I could make successful films that made a lot of money. money but that I would not be recognized by the profession And I believed in it.remembers the heroine ofOn equal terms, Indecent proposal or Striptease. “It had such an impact on me that a few years ago I said to myself that maybe it was over for me, that maybe I had finished my career and done everything I had to do “she continues.
The universe told me: 'You haven't finished your work'

“When I was at my lowest, I received this magical, daring and courageous and absolutely crazy script that was off the beaten path called The Substance. The universe told me: 'You haven't finished your work'”she insists. Demi Moore hammers be “so grateful to Coralie” Fargeat, its French director. She thanks her “for having trusted him and for intervening” by offering her this role of a former Hollywood glory who, shelved because she is considered too old, gives birth to her rejuvenated clone thanks to a mysterious injection. A subject that echoes her own experience as a woman in this wonderful but above all ruthless industry.

“Reading Demi's biography, I understood how difficult it was for her to establish herself in this very masculine world of cinema at the time”Coralie Fargeat explained to us from Cannes. On the Golden Globes stage, Demi Moore also had a thought for “those who believed in her, especially when she herself did not believe in it.”
“In those moments when we think we're not smart enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, not successful enough, when we simply believe we're not enough… A woman said to me: 'Know that you will never be enough but you can know your worth if you set the standard. So today, I celebrate this award as a marker of my wholeness and the love that motivated me, as the gift of giving. something I love and which reminds me that I have my place”she concluded, with her precious golden trophy in hand, matching her dress. What if the beautiful story continued on March 2 during the Oscars ceremony?
