Demi Moore admits filming 'The Substance' was a 'vulnerable experience' 

Demi Moore just recalled her “vulnerable experience” while filming The Substance.

The award-winning actress is no stranger to raunchy scenes however, she admitted that filming nude scenes in the latest horror film made her "tap into her own vulnerability" for the role.

When asked of filming the naked scenes for the film, she told Woman magazine: "It was a very vulnerable experience, and we had a lot of conversations around it, but it was taking you to the raw place that you needed to [go].”

Moore continued, "On my end, I felt it wasn't s**ualised since so many of my scenes were about the experience of being with yourself, and often we are with ourselves nude and it's those moments of our own personal gaze, and self-judgement.”

"I think the depth of the vulnerability and where it took me is, in a way, what was needed to help me tap into my own vulnerability,” the A Few Good Men actress further added.

Proceeding to discuss the topic of ageing and her narrative on beauty, Moore also stated "That place where she's (her character in The Substance) feeling so rejected, and in such despair, I think there is a part of that where we - not just women - can all connect to on a human level.”

“I've certainly walked through that at different times in my life, where I too have placed too much value on my external self, and not enough on my insides, and where I gave my power away based on being validated on what I look like,” she admitted.

“Ironically, it was when I was much younger. In particular, the scene where [my character] is at the precipice of being able to get out of her self-imposed prison by going on the date... I think that idea of going there or changing your outfit and trying to make it better - you can make it worse. Again, I think we've all had moments like that. Haven't we?" Demi Moore concluded.
