Demi Moore accomplished the unthinkable this week – and on her birthday, no less. “The Substance” star was a guest on “Hot Ones,” the hit YouTube show in which celebrities devour chicken wings (or in a vegetarian’s case, cauliflower) doused in increasingly spicy hot sauce, all while chatting about their chosen career and art form with host Sean Evans. Evans started by welcoming Moore – and mentioning that they were filming on her birthday, a first for a guest on the show – and asked her if she was naturally someone who enjoyed spicy food. Moore was cautious in her answer, stating that she didn’t want to set herself up “for failure, (but) everyone who knows me knows that I love to eat spicy food.” She did add, though, that she didn’t quite know what she was getting herself into. Throughout the episode, however, the “Ghost” actor treated the hot sauce-infused tasting menu much like a wine connoisseur, discussing the “entry point,” “peak point” and “backend” of the spiciness, even comparing one sauce to … baby excrement. Aside from occasionally wiping her nose, Moore never once lost her cool, and as she continued to the upper spicy echelons of the hot sauce “gauntlet,” as Evans calls it, Moore stayed focused on her task at hand – and even guessed every movie correctly when Evans quizzed her with taglines from her film repertoire.
