Demi Moore opened up about continuing to find career success while aging and what words of wisdom she's shared with her daughters about getting older
“I really try to be as present in the moment as possible, and what I feel is an excitement of possibilities, that we’re defining a new — I don’t want to say generation — but we are what the future is for women,” Moore, 61, shared on the Monday, September 9, episode of Today. “And I look at having my daughters, and I don’t want there to ever be in their minds that there is an end. To me, this is the most exciting time of my life. It is.
The perception and treatment of aging women in society is the topic of Moore’s upcoming body horror film, The Substance, which hits theaters on September 18. She stars as Elisabeth Sparkle, an actress who gets fired from her TV fitness show for being too old. In hopes of regaining her youth, she takes a black market drug called The Substance to create a younger alternate version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley. Things take a dangerous turn as the two women fight for time in the spotlight.
The role pushed Moore out of her physical and emotional “comfort zone,” she said. “The message, for me, that was so powerful in this is not what’s happening in the circumstances around , but it’s the violence that we have against ourselves. And that’s what I feel was really powerful in this.” Moore said she could relate to her character’s motivation in the movie, as she herself struggled with body image in the past. “I placed a lot of value on what my body looked like, as being a defining marker of whether I belonged or not, whether I could succeed or not, all of those things,” she explained.
