EXCLUDED – Demi Moore in interview in Entrevue: “When I was young, I had nothing to lose, because I had nothing. Without it, I wouldn't have become who I am. »

Present at Cannes last May for the first time in 27 years to defend her new film, The Substance, planned for the start of the school year, Demi Moore, 61, defies time. We met the star in Cannes. She gave us an interview accompanied by her faithful chihuahua Pilaf, who shares her daily life. A poignant interview in which Demi Moore talks to us about her current affairs and looks back on her incredible career, to be found in full in the new issue of Entrevue, on sale everywhere. Here is an exerpt…

You are featured in The Substance, which will be released at the start of the school year. A film in which the heroine, fired on her 50th birthday because of her age, can generate a younger and more beautiful version of herself... Can you tell us about it? 
First of all, I feel very humbled by this film. It's not always easy to look at yourself. But I feel a certain excitement. I can't wait for it to come out. It’s an unusual genre, both horrific and spooky. For those who like thrills, I think there is plenty of fun to be had. And there is also something for those looking for a deeper meaning…

Today you are a global icon. Let's go back to your beginnings. What made you want to pursue a career in film? 
Honestly, it's the way I grew up. I didn't have a career plan, I had a life plan. For a long time I had to fend for myself. There are pros and cons to this. The upside was that it gave me a great sense of independence. I had no safety net to fall back on. But it also allowed me to move forward. When I was young, I had nothing to lose, because I had nothing. It gave me a sense of determination. Without it, I wouldn't have become who I am. The other side of the coin of this kind of situation is that it can cause a certain level of insecurity at the time, because you don't know how to go about it, in which direction to go. Ultimately, I believe destiny brings us exactly where we are meant to be. Without everything I've been through, I wouldn't be who I am.

Everyone still remembers the film Ghost, which launched your career. How did you experience the buzz around this success? And how are you handling it today? 
You know, you get used to it, it becomes familiar. On the one hand, a success like Ghost can make you lose your mind, but on the other, it can also allow you to gain a little height and maintain a sense of what is really important. I'm lucky because my family helps me keep a level head. I manage to dissociate cinema from real life. I realize very well that what I do on screen is not who I am. It's just what I do. It’s by thinking like this that we manage to keep our feet on the ground.
