A traumatic shoot. While the release of the film The Substance is scheduled for September 20, Demi Moore gave an interview to LA Times in which she recounts the after-effects she endured. Filming the scenes was particularly difficult, both physically and emotionally. It must be said that this film is far from telling a light, funny or romantic story. The Substance features Elisabeth, a celebrity who gets fired from her job on her birthday, when she was supposed to be celebrating her 50th birthday. One day, she decides to take a drug like no other. This drug allows you to have a younger version of yourself.
Demi Moore: “I lost 20 pounds”
Through this feature film, the director Coralie Fargeat is interested “to the physical and psychological violence that people are capable of inflicting on themselves to regain their youth and no longer have this feeling of being outdated”. During filming, Demi Moore was personally impacted. “To give you an idea of the intensity, during my first week off, when Margaret was alone at work, I caught shingles“she confides before adding: “And then I lost about 9 kilos“. Bruce Willis’ ex-wife also revealed that it was a powerful work for “what she does to herself.”
