Demi Moore, famous for her role in the 90s hit movie Ghost, recently shared the intense emotional reaction she had after reading the script for the supernatural romance. The talented 62-year-old actress received a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Molly Jensen, alongside Patrick Swayze as Sam Wheat. The movie follows the story of Sam, who is murdered by his corrupt business partner and must track down a medium, Oda Mae Brown, to protect his girlfriend Molly from danger. The film also features Whoopi Goldberg, who won an Academy Award for her role as Oda Mae Brown.
Even though it has been over three decades since the release of Ghost, Moore still remembers the impact the script had on her. In a recent interview with Hot Ones host Sean Evans, she admitted that the themes of the movie left her shaken. "Ghost scared the crap out of me," she said. "To be such a young person dealing with the loss of your partner... In reading the script, I was so overwhelmed at the kind of grief that I was going to have to tap into."
One of the most memorable scenes from the movie is when Moore's character, Molly, conjures a tear from one eye. It has become an iconic moment in film history, and Moore explained that it was not something she planned or had control over. "That one kind of helped me get over a hurdle of my own... Emotionally, whenever we have to be vulnerable, it is not easy," she said.
The magic formula that made Ghost a hit was also present in Moore's recent film, The Substance, a body-horror movie that became an unexpected favorite in 2024. She was drawn to the film because it was "worth the risk" and had a mix of genres, similar to Ghost. She admitted that she knew it could either be "amazing or a f***ing disaster."
Earlier this year, Moore spoke about the fate of the infamous clay pots that were made in a steamy scene with her late co-star, Patrick Swayze. She revealed that she still has the pots, but they are "pitiful" and "the saddest looking things." This only adds to the nostalgia and love for the movie that fans still have today.
Moore has also been open about her struggles in Hollywood, especially in the early 00s when she felt like she didn't fit in due to her age and the public's obsession with her body. In an interview, she shared, "I found that there didn't seem to be a place for me. It's more like I felt that feeling of, I'm not 20, I'm not 30, but I wasn't yet what they perceived as a mother." However, her latest film, The Substance, tackles the impossible standards for women in the entertainment industry head on. She plays an A-list actress who goes to extreme lengths to maintain her youthful appearance and keep her career alive. The film has received praise for its vulnerability and exposing portrayal of this issue.
Despite its success, The Substance also caused some controversy due to its graphic and gory nature, which even prompted walkouts in cinemas. But Metro gave the film a positive review, highlighting Moore's performance as "vulnerable and exposing."
Demi Moore's career has been filled with memorable roles and impactful performances, from her iconic role in Ghost to her latest film, The Substance. She continues to challenge herself and push boundaries in her acting career, and we can't wait to see what she does next.
