Demi Moore is sharing one of the main things she looks for before taking on any role or project.
The actress made a recent appearance on Hot Ones, where host Sean Evans asked her to expand on her previous comments about The Substance script potentially being “something extraordinary or could be an absolute disaster.”
“It really means that it was holding something that was worth the risk,” Moore said of her recent body horror film, which saw her play Elisabeth, opposite Margaret Qualley’s Sue.
The G.I. Jane actress continued, “And I felt that way also about Ghost because it had so many different genres mixed together that, truly, I thought, ‘This could either be amazing or a fucking disaster.’ Either way, it’s usually the kind of juice that says, ‘Step in. Take the risk. Roll the dice. Let’s see what happens.’”
Moore starred opposite the late Patrick Swayze in the 1990 supernatural romance thriller, which ended up becoming an unexpected box-office success, grossing more than $500 million.
Later in the episode, Evans also asked the Feud star about what she feels is the biggest existential threat to movie making, having starred in dozens of projects throughout her acting career.
“I think it would be the loss of the cinema experience,” Moore responded. “I think the risk — not just in cinema, but in life in general — is that we’re moving towards too much isolation. And I think it’s our communal experience that allows us to connect with one another when we have those shared experiences. While I truly love streaming, appreciate it and think that there is an aspect that is quite additive for all of us, I hope that we can find a middle ground with bringing us all back to the theater too, to really not lose that.”
