Demi Moore Just Dropped A Clue About The Producer Who Called Her A 'Popcorn Actress'
HuffPost
The "Substance" actor also revealed how she's "redefined" the negative title he once gave her.
A month after Demi Moore revealed that an unnamed producer deemed her to be a “popcorn actress” 30 years ago — subsequently leaving fans playing the guessing game — the actor has dropped a hint about the mystery individual.
While appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Tuesday night, host Jimmy Kimmel asked Moore, 62, if the producer in question could’ve been watching her Jan. 5 Golden Globes speech, in which she called out the nameless man’s harsh words.
“He may have been rolling over in his grave,” she responded with a laugh.
Last month, the actor referenced a man that previously downplayed the future of her acting career during her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, where she won Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, for her role in “The Substance.”
“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a ‘popcorn actress’ and, at that time, I made that mean that this [award] wasn’t something that I was allowed to have,” she said at the time. “That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that.”
