Demi Moore is revealing one of the pivotal factors she considers essential before embracing any role or venturing into a new project. Recently, the actress graced the popular show, Hot Ones, where the host, Sean Evans, prompted her to elaborate on her earlier remarks about The Substance script, hinting at its potential to be "either something extraordinary or an outright disaster."
"It truly signifies that it harbored something worthwhile, despite the risks involved," Moore articulated, reflecting on her recent body horror film where she portrayed Elisabeth, sharing the screen with Margaret Qualley's Sue. The G.I. Jane star further elucidated, "Similarly, I harbored the same sentiment towards Ghost, a film that blended myriad genres so intricately that I genuinely pondered, 'This could turn out to be phenomenal or an absolute flop.' Regardless, it's the kind of thrill that whispers, 'Dare to step in. Embrace the risk. Take a leap of faith. Let's witness the outcome.'"
Moore starred alongside the late Patrick Swayze in the 1990 supernatural romantic thriller, which defied expectations and emerged as a box-office sensation, amassing over $500 million.
During the episode's latter segment, Evans inquired about the biggest existential peril Moore perceives to filmmaking, given her extensive resume spanning numerous projects.
"I believe it would be the erosion of the cinematic experience," Moore responded thoughtfully. "I think the peril — transcending cinema and permeating life in general — lies in our growing inclination towards isolation. It's our communal experiences that forge connections amidst shared moments. While I harbor a profound affection for streaming, acknowledging its merits and the value it adds to our lives, I fervently hope we can strike a balance, drawing us all back to the theaters as well, ensuring we don't relinquish that inimitable charm."
