In an interview, Demi Moore talked about her body image and shared how hard she worked to lose weight after giving birth to her children.
Demi Moore’s new film “The Substance” vividly shows the pressure women in the entertainment industry are under to remain visually young. In it, Moore plays a Hollywood star in search of eternal youth – with terrible side effects. It’s a role that seems to be tailor-made for Moore.
For many years, the actress herself suffered under the pressure in Hollywood. Today, Moore is a grandmother and looks back on her body image with different eyes. In an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” she tells how, in 1991, after the birth of her second daughter Scout, she tried to reach her pre-pregnancy weight. When Scout was about five months old, Moore began filming for the box office hit “Indecent Proposal.” She lived in Malibu at the time, and filming took place at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

“I would nurse her all night, get up in the dark on a trainer. And then I would cycle all the way to Paramount and sometimes even to the set where we were filming; then I would film for a whole day, which is usually a 12-hour day, and then I would start all over again,” Moore says. The journalist the actress spoke to for the interview reacted with shock. The distance from Moore’s home at the time to the studios is about 30 miles (48 kilometers). Moore cycled almost 100 kilometers there and back.

All of this to strengthen her body. “I experienced being told to lose weight. And while all of these experiences were embarrassing and humiliating, I did something to myself because of it,” explains Bruce Willis’ ex-wife. “Just the idea of what I did to my body is so crazy, so ridiculous,” she says. Today she knows that her weight at the time wasn’t actually that important. “But at the time it meant everything to me,” says Moore.
