Demi Moore recently achieved a significant milestone in her career by winning her first Golden Globe Award. The star took to the stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and expressed her sheer surprise, telling the audience that she had been acting for over 45 years and this was her first win.
Moore, at 61, starred in “The Substance,” a film where she portrays an actress who faces age discrimination after being let go from her fitness show at age 50. In a bid to revitalize her career, her character resorts to a controversial drug that allows her to transform into a younger version of herself, portrayed by Margaret Qualley, albeit with grave consequences.
During her acceptance speech, Moore reflected on past insecurities, recalling how a producer once belittled her, labeling her a “popcorn actress.” This comment stuck with her for many years, leading her to doubt her place in the industry. However, she shared how her perspective shifted, stating, “At a low point, this bonkers script came across my desk. The universe told me I’m not done.”
She also highlighted the importance of self-recognition versus competing with others, emphasizing that understanding her own worth was crucial. As she concluded her speech, Moore stated that receiving the award served as a reminder of her belonging in the industry and her ongoing journey as an actress.
