Oscar nominee, Demi Moore, stars in new film, I Love Boosters, this month, however, the Hollywood icon admits she almost didn’t become an actress because she was didn’t think she was good enough
Hollywood icon, Demi Moore, has made a heartbreaking confession ahead of the release of her latest film. The Substance star, 63, who was nominated for an Oscar for her incredible performance in 2024, stars in I Love Boosters, which follows a group of shoplifters, known as ‘boosters’, take aim at a cutthroat fashionista, Christie Smith – played by Demi.
Fans can’t wait to see the Indecent Proposal star, who shares daughters, Rumer, 36, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 32 with ex-husband, Bruce Willis, 71, back on the big screen. However, in a new interview, Demi has admitted that she almost didn’t become an actress because she didn’t think she’d be any good.
Speaking in V Magazine’s V160 Summer 2026 Issue while looking gorgeous in a collection of black and white snaps, she said: “I didn’t come from a background of training, and I didn’t grow up in school doing plays. I didn’t have a foundation to fall on, like a barometer.
“I was flying by the seat of my pants, which can feel a little bit like, ‘Did I get it? Did it work?’ This is when I was really young, I was almost afraid to be in an acting class, because I thought that if they told me I wasn’t any good, I’d be told that I couldn’t do it well.”
Thankfully, Demi, who admits she has battled insecurity in the past and has, at times, felt “underestimated” by the industry, did keep going and now has one of the most enviable careers in Tinseltown.
With a string of box office hits under her belt, the star is in action again in I Love Boosters, which is in cinemas this month.
Talking about why she took on the role of the fearsome fashionista, Smith, she said: ““I don’t even know if, after I read [the script for I Love Boosters], I fully understood it. But I understood that to go on the journey with him, when I got to the other side, I would have more of me. That there would be something more expanded in me, just from every respect.
“[It’s] a smaller role for me, but it was the company that I would be with, the material, what it’s saying, and is it pushing me out of my comfort zone?
“Is it gonna help stretch me professionally, and then also personally?”
Demi continued: “I also try to think of things in balance. You know, it’s so easy in our industry to kind of be put in a box. Like, ‘This is who you are.’”
