Demi Moore Admits It Was A ‘Vulnerable Experience’ Filming Nude Scenes

Demi Moore recently won her first Golden Globe award for her incredible performance in “The Substance” at 62.

However, the actress’s latest achievement has also led her to reflect on some of the daring scenes she acted in the film, saying it was a “very vulnerable experience” for her.

While accepting her award, Demi Moore described how she had to bounce back from a “low point” in her life as she struggled with thoughts of not being “enough.”

Moore recently discussed the challenges of filming nude scenes in “The Substance,” which earned her her first Golden Globes win.

She took home the Best Leading Actress (musical or comedy) award for her daring role in the movie, which saw her strip down to a nude state in some scenes.

Speaking on her experience starring in the movie, she told Women Magazine that several conversations were had behind the scenes to be able to bring it to life properly.

“It was a very vulnerable experience, and we had a lot of conversations around it, but it was taking you to the raw place that you needed to [go],” Moore explained, per The Sun.

She continued, “On my end, I felt it wasn’t sexualized since so many of my scenes were about the experience of being with yourself, and often we are with ourselves nude, and it’s those moments of our own personal gaze and self-judgment.”

“I think the depth of the vulnerability and where it took me is, in a way, what was needed to help me tap into my own vulnerability,” the actress added.

Reflecting on her portrayal of Elizabeth Sparkle in the film, Moore noted that her personal life isn’t like that of the character because she does not seem to mind the aging process.

She explained that this is because she doesn’t rely solely on her appearance to determine her self-worth, although Moore admitted that it hasn’t always been that way.

“That place where she’s feeling so rejected, and in such despair, I think there is a part of that where we – not just women – can all connect to on a human level,” she said.

“I’ve certainly walked through that at different times in my life, where I too have placed too much value on my external self, and not enough on my insides, and where I gave my power away based on being validated on what I look like. Ironically, it was when I was much younger,” Moore continued.

“In particular, the scene where [my character] is at the precipice of being able to get out of her self-imposed prison by going on the date, I think that idea of going there or changing your outfit and trying to make it better – you can make it worse,” Moore added. “Again, I think we’ve all had moments like that. Haven’t we?”

In her acceptance speech, Moore talked about struggling and being at a “low point” as she thought she was “not enough.”

She reiterated how much the award meant to her having been nominated four times before as well as struggling to land a hit role for decades.

The actress said: “In those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough, or pretty enough, or skinny enough, or are basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me, ‘Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.'”

Meanwhile, Moore sparked controversy on social media after she appeared to ignore reality TV star Kylie Jenner in a TikTok video.

The clip, taken inside the award ceremony on Sunday night, shows Moore greeting everyone else at the table, including Jenner’s boyfriend and fellow nominee, Timothee Chalamet, but not the Kylie Cosmetics founder.

Social media users quickly voiced their displeasure with her, as many assumed Moore intentionally ignored Jenner.

However, some fans noted that Moore may not have noticed Jenner while greeting several people right after her win.

Moore’s daughter, Tallulah Willis, was quick to defend the actress from the backlash,  taking to her Instagram page on Monday to tell fans to give her mom “a break.”

“Hi @everyone but really press, NIPPING THIS STRAIGHT IN THE BUD – we spent New Year with Elle, so connecting with her after a win was a very organic thing to do, this angel was in total shock and delight and moving throughout a warm room of well-wishers,” Tallulah wrote in part, per Fox News.

She continued, “There was not [sic] snub of any sort, had she seen KJ wanting to congratulate her she would have fully given her the time and space. Literally, just give it all a break and let a gal enjoy her accomplishments!”
