A Surprising Success Unites Demi Moore Again!

Demi Moore speaks to Empire about her role in the forthcoming body-horror film The Substance. In an exclusive conversation with the magazine, Moore dishes about her transformation into the film’s protagonist.

Moore admits that her experience working on the film was both physically and mentally demanding. The actress had to adapt to a completely new environment, using prosthetics and makeup to alter her physical appearance. Her new look was no easy feat, as she had to immerse herself in the character’s psychology and emotions in order to fully tap into the desired performance.

“I never thought I was going to be so affected by the process,” Moore told Empire. “But as I transformed into my character, I started to resonate with this person on such a deep level. It was like being reborn.”

The Substance also marks Moore’s return to more dramatic, intense roles since her high-profile departure from Hollywood after the 2008 film St. Trinian’s. Since then, she’s focused primarily on producing and philanthropy, but working on this film and her upcoming Netflix series, the Academy Award-winner is getting back to what she loves most – the craft of acting itself.

This film, although a risk for Moore after her post-Hollywood return, has helped her regain her footing on the big and small screens. The Substance stands as proof that Moore continues to surprise and push the envelope, with her dedication to embodying different characters and roles solidifying her career as a versatile and multidimensional talent.
