Demi Moore Says No to Nudity After Oscar Buzz

by

Currently, Demi Moore is experiencing a revitalization in her acting career. On January 5th, she won a Golden Globe for her outstanding performance in the dark comedy-horror film “The Substance,” which also earned her her first Academy Award nomination. However, with an increasing number of script offers coming her way, Moore is using her influence to be selective about her roles. One area where she’s drawing the line now is appearing nude in films.

According to sources near Moore, she has decided to temporarily step away from appearing nude.

Most of the scripts she receives ask her to expose her body once more, but she’s hesitant about doing so again. Demi feels that there’s a point when one should simply refuse. If an exceptional script arrives with a nude scene, she’ll discuss and decide how much she is comfortable revealing.

Many have admired Moore’s courage for exposing everything in the movie, a fact corroborated by the source, stating that the 62-year-old actress takes pride in her body, yet she admitted feeling exposed or vulnerable due to the nudity demanded in The Substance.

She showed remarkable courage in undertaking this at the age of sixty, as it was for a cause she wholeheartedly supported… Yet, she felt incredibly exposed. It’s questionable if she’ll repeat such an action, even though she takes great pride in her physical form.

During a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival last year, Moore articulated similar thoughts not just on the subject of nudity, but also about the role as a whole.

Initially, it was clear that the narrative demanded a high degree of openness and emotional exposure – an unguarded authenticity. Furthermore, this process turned out to be deeply personal, necessitating considerable empathy and many discussions on our intended goals.

Prior to ‘The Substance,’ Moore Was Ready to Leave Hollywood For Good

Given the numerous accolades and compliments Moore has garnered for her work in “The Substance“, an Oscar nomination is regarded as one of the most prestigious awards in Hollywood. Even though winning the award would be a significant achievement, as the saying goes, “it’s an honor just to be nominated.” Remarkably, Moore was contemplating retiring from acting altogether before she received filmmaker Coralie Fargeat’s script.

Besides Moore earning an Oscar nomination, the movie itself garnered a total of five nods, among them Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Regrettably, Moore’s co-star Margaret Qualley was overlooked in this year’s recognition. Currently, the film has been re-released in theaters to boost its chances for the Oscars, and it can also be streamed on the independent film platform MUBI, where it was originally distributed.
