Demi Moore, 61, says full frontal nudity in Cannes Film Festival hit was a ‘vulnerable experience’
Demi Moore, the iconic actress known for her roles in films like “Ghost” and “A Few Good Men,” recently opened up about her experience filming full frontal nudity for the Cannes Film Festival hit, “The Substance.” At the age of 61, Moore bared all in a role that she described as a “very vulnerable experience.”
The film, directed by Coralie Fargeat, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim, with Moore’s performance being particularly highlighted. In the film, Moore plays an aging actress who takes a substance to create a younger, better version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley.
At age 61, Demi Moore bared all in her latest film “The Substance,” and it was a “vulnerable experience.”
“I had someone who was a great partner who I felt very safe with,” the actress said at a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, as quoted by Variety.
The star credited costar Margaret Qualley for putting her at ease when it came to stripping down.
During a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Moore discussed the challenges of the role, saying, “Going into it, it was really spelled out – the level of vulnerability and rawness that was really required to tell the story.” She also credited Qualley, with whom she shared many of the nude scenes, for making her feel comfortable on set.
Moore’s decision to go full frontal at the age of 61 is seen as a bold move in an industry that often overlooks older actresses. It’s a testament to her bravery and commitment to her craft. Her performance in “The Substance” is being praised for its rawness and emotional depth, proving that age is no barrier to powerful acting.
The film received an 11-minute standing ovation at its premiere, the longest of the festival so far, indicating the strong impact it had on the audience. Moore’s willingness to push boundaries and take on challenging roles continues to inspire and challenge perceptions in the film industry.
