He had considered giving it all up. Despite the fact that she is enjoying maturity at the age of 61, the Demi Moore he has not had the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of a success in the recent past. It is worth noting that the actress for her role in “Striptease” received the astronomical amount of 12.5 million dollars!

“I went through a period where I even questioned if this is what I should still be doing. Over the last four years or so, I felt it was a personal question that I wanted to explore and see.”she said in a recent interview with “Entertainment Weekly”.

And he continued: “When you plant seeds, you wait to see what will grow” and now it’s reaping the rewards. “The Substance,” her new film, proved to be a phenomenon at Cannes, and Moore’s name is already entering the Oscar conversation.

“The renaissance of Demi Moore has begun”was writing a review, with “The Substance” delighting critics and garnering 11 minutes of applause at Cannes, where director Coralie Fargeat won best screenplay.

Described as a brutal horror nightmare, bloody and groundbreaking, the film tells the story of an old screen star who, in an attempt to fight the tyranny of youth, resorts to an experimental therapy in search of a better version of herself. Rounding out the cast are Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. Both the BBC and IndieWire called Moore’s performance the best of her career.

Every year, when rumors of possible Oscar contenders enter the race, there’s one profile that always garners a wave of popular support: that of the mainstream star who’s never before found favor with the Academy and whom audiences want to see to render justice. Brendan Fraser, Jamie Lee Curtis, Matthew McConaughey and most recently Robert Downey Jr. are a testament to the power of audiences during awards season, and Moore, buoyed by her triumph at Cannes and her celebrated work in the Feud: Capote vs The Swans series, seems keen to give her heart and soul to to achieve it. Despite her two Golden Globe nominations, she has never previously been nominated for an Oscar.

It’s been a long time since Moore graced the covers of tabloids about her tumultuous divorce from actor Ashton Kutcher – she learned from the press that her husband was cheating on her.

In the late 1990s, at the height of her fame, she decided to temporarily retire from Hollywood to escape the scrutiny caused by her split from Bruce Willis, the father of her three daughters, and the sexist attacks of an industry that she was not receptive to her pleas for a salary commensurate with her position. She was given the nickname “Gimme Moore” and, according to her, was subsequently “punished” for her alleged greed.

Although her colleagues, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, later justified the actress’s sacrifice, claiming that “she was the first to fight for equal pay and we all benefited from it”, the Los Angeles studios would not open their doors to her again with the same enthusiasm. At 44, Moore herself recognized herself as a victim of ageism, accepting supporting roles in productions that were light years away from the impact of her first films.

In 2012, she entered rehab, but, more than a decade later, she says she feels “more alive and present” than ever. She came clean with her addictions, trauma and abuse in her best-selling memoir, Inside Out, and no longer burdened by a troubled past, the actress decided to start from scratch. She became a shareholder and ambassador for the swimwear brand Andie Swim.

On a personal level, she says she enjoys being single, since her last known relationship, with famous Swiss chef Daniel Humm, ended in 2022. The actress is close to her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, after the irreversible frontotemporal dementia with which he was diagnosed, led him to withdraw from public life. Moore often visits the actor, shares tender snaps of them and their daughters and grandchildren, and maintains a very close relationship with his current wife, Emma Heming.

Sources close to Moore told InTouch magazine that her ex-husband’s fight has given her a new perspective on life and she is already preparing for an “emotional goodbye” to her ex-partner of thirteen years.
