Demi Moore revealed one demand she made before shooting the bikini scene in the movie Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.
During an appearance on the latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the 62-year-old actress said she learned about the scene three weeks before shooting the 2003 film.
“All I remember is begging them not to shoot my butt. I don’t know why that was my obsession,” said Demi.
The Substance star further told the outlet that she was forced to focus on what was in front of her instead of overthinking the role.
“I had no time to think about what I looked like, which was almost better,” said Demi.
Drew then gushed, “No one can do in three weeks what you showed up with, so you were clearly good to go.”
“Like there’s no magic wand that gets you to that in three weeks. I’ve done a three-week diet. I didn’t end up there,” she added.
Demi further shared that she “wasn’t prepared for the focus that happened from it. I had no idea the amplification, ironically, that was specifically tied to my age.”
The actress, who was 40 years old then, said she was signed onto the movie after her three daughters.
“I had taken a break only to be with them,” said Demi, who is a mother of Rumer, 36, Tallulah, 31, and Scout Willis, 33.
She further said, “I stopped and was just with them until they finally were like, ‘You have to do this movie. We love the first one. You have to do this movie. And please, aren’t you going to ever work again?'”
Demi added that she did the film because she wants her daughters to witness the “full expression of who she was” as an actress.
For those unversed, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle was released in cinemas on July 27, 2003.
