Actress Demi Moore recently made headlines for her role in the horror film, ‘The Substance.’ The 61-year-old bravely performed several scenes entirely in the nude for this Coralie Fargeat-directed project. During a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, May 20, Moore spoke candidly about the vulnerability and rawness required for the role.
“The experience was incredibly vulnerable and demanded a high level of sensitivity,” said Moore. “There was also a lot of dialogue about our goals for the film, how we planned to achieve them and establishing a foundation of mutual trust.”
The official synopsis reads: “It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect you. And there’s only one rule: You share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy. Right? If you respect the balance…what could possibly go wrong?”
In ‘The Substance,’ Moore portrays a washed-up Hollywood actress who begins taking the title drug. As a result, she produces a younger replica of herself, acted by Margaret Qualley. The substance wreaks havoc on Moore’s character, deforming her while Qualley’s youthful figure thrives.
Moore and Qualley Shine in Cannes Premiere
Together with Fargeat and co-star Dennis Quaid, Moore and Qualley graced the red carpet at the Cannes premiere of ‘The Substance’ on Sunday, May 19. The film was met with resounding praise, earning an 11-minute standing ovation from the audience. For the premiere, Moore looked stunning in a cream gown with a 3D bodice while Qualley and Fargeat opted for pale pink attire. Quaid remained sleek in a classic black suit and white dress shirt.
Even as her character in ‘The Substance’ goes through distortions, Moore, star of ‘Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans,’ continues to wow at public appearances. Recently, she cut a timeless figure posing with her daughters Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 30, at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March.
Moore Makes a Statement in Recent Public Appearances
In April, Moore was the talk of the town at the opening of the From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce & Gabbana exhibition in Milan, where she sported black bra and briefs beneath a glittery mesh dress. Dazzling the viewers again, she later donned a leopard-print bikini during a tropical vacation with her children. The actress shares her children with her ex-husband, Bruce Willis.
Prior to her appearance at the Gucci Cruise 2025 fashion show with her Chihuahua, Pilaf, on May 13, Moore captivated the Met Gala crowd with an artistic black Harris Reed gown adorned with a pink floral pattern, complete with protruding shoulders and black feathers. Her look was further embellished with exquisite diamond and emerald jewelry by Cartier.
