Demi Moore — who plays an aging celebrity willing to take drastic measures to maintain her youth in 'The Substance' — revealed that she battled shingles and lost 20 pounds while filming.
Demi Moore's latest role is a horror film, but it turns out the actress was battling some horrific conditions off-screen too. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actress — who is currently promoting 'The Substance' — revealed how the role impacted her physically. 'To give you an idea of the intensity, my first week that I actually had off, where it was just Margaret working, I got shingles,' Moore told the outlet. 'And I then lost, like, 20 pounds.
Oh, yeah, I had crazy acne for a full, long-ass time,' Qualley, who portrays Moore's clone in the film, added. 'You have to walk away feeling that you put it all on the table,' Moore added. 'It called for it and it’s what you want to bring to it.' According to the Mayo Clinic, shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash.
During a recent chat with Interview magazine, the mom of three opened up about her career in Hollywood and why she felt like she didn't belong at one point. 'I had done ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ and there was a lot of conversation around this scene in a bikini, and it was all very heightened, a lot of talk about how I looked,' Moore told the outlet. 'And then I found that there didn’t seem to be a place for me. I didn’t feel like I didn’t belong.
