Demi Moore was greeted with great cheers in the Golden Globes press room Sunday after winning her first trophy for Best Actress – Comedy or Musical, and the “banger” acceptance speech — as an Australian journo called it tonight backstage — about how she overcame midlife career odds leading to her comeback in The Substance.
Many of the reporters here yearned for “Moore” food for thought from the 1990s blockbuster star, who put down her measuring stick in the second chapter of her career.
“On the days when you don’t feel like you’re not enough, what gets you through?” one reporter from People asked Moore.
“I think it’s really about where you hold your intention and focus. We can spend our time on focusing on all that we’re not, or we can be celebrating all that we are. I think it’s subtle shift,” said the actress on her positive though process in life.
As far as advice to women who feel they are being dismissed, the Ghost thespian who was once told by a manager that she was a “popcorn actress” said, “We all know that there are certain societal conditioning.”
“All we have to look at is what we’re choosing to buy into. Because it exists, doesn’t make it the truth. I think it all goes back to how we hold ourselves. And when we value ourselves, we have enough self love, that will then reflect out in the world, and the world can follow and change to accommodate how you’re reflecting on yourself,” she said.
The Substance repped the first wide theatrical release for streamer Mubi. The body-swap horror movie was originally made at Universal, and then sold to Mubi for $12 million-$14 million. The Coralie Fargeat-directed movie has made over $78M at the global box office since hitting theaters after world premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.
