Demi Moore, at 62, has been named People magazine’s 2025 World’s Most Beautiful person.
Over her 40-year career, Demi Moore has faced her fair share of public scrutiny.
In a recent interview, the 62-year-old actress, who was named People magazine’s Most Beautiful Person, opened up about the challenges of fame. She explained how it has “put [her] through the wringer” and shared how she’s evolved into the person she is today.
“It’s put me through the wringer,” the Golden Globe Award-winning actress told People. “Not unlike what ‘The Substance’ [her 2024 horror film] is and why they made the character an actor. Because it really forced me to address my issues of self-judgment and lack of appreciation.”
In her role as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress who turns to a wonder drug to alter her appearance in The Substance, Demi Moore found a character that deeply resonated with her, and with many others. She reflected on the universal experience of comparison and self-criticism, explaining, “I think there’s an aspect that we all have experienced, which is compare and despair. And it isn’t necessarily just about our outsides. It’s that harsh, self-critical judgment. And everyone who’s in the public eye does face a little more judgment and harsher external criticism. I think the thing that was so relatable is really that violence we can have against ourselves.”
Moore has been open about her past struggles, including a challenging relationship with her mother, marriage difficulties, body image issues, and alcoholism. However, she’s noticed a significant shift in her mindset.
Reflecting on her past, she shared, “I did torture myself. Crazy things like biking from Malibu all the way to Paramount, which is about 26 miles. All because I placed so much value on what my outsides looked like.” Today, she emphasizes the importance of overall health, longevity, and quality of life. “I think the biggest difference today is it’s so much more about my overall health and longevity and quality of life. I think I’ve evolved into greater gentility toward myself. I was so harsh and had a much more antagonistic relationship with my body. And straight up I was really just punishing myself.”
Moore now describes a much more intuitive and relaxed relationship with her body. “I trust when it tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty. I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear. When I was younger, I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it. And now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship.”
She continues, “I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now. It doesn’t mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘Oh, my face is falling’ – I do. But I can accept that that’s where I’m at today, and I know the difference today is that it doesn’t define my value or who I am.”
Now, as she films season 2 of Landman on Paramount+, Moore remains focused on what matters most: being a support system for her ex-husband Bruce Willis as he battles dementia, and being a mother to their three children: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. “Regardless of what the outside relationship has been, we have maintained being a family in various forms,” Moore said. “The foundation of making our children our priority has never wavered.” She also proudly embraces her role as a grandmother to Rumer’s daughter, Luetta.
