Demi Moore Reminds Critics She's No 'Popcorn Actress' In Moving Golden Globes Speech
HuffPost
The star of "The Substance" hit back at a Hollywood producer whose comment "corroded" her over time.
Demi Moore called out an unnamed Hollywood critic in a powerful acceptance speech at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards.
Moore, who won the Golden Globe for her lead role in Coralie Fargeat’s body horror film “The Substance,” appeared shocked by the win as she remarked on her decades-long acting career.
“And this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor,” noted Moore, whose only other major win was an honorary Independent Spirit Award for being part of an ensemble cast in the 2011 film “Margin Call.”
She then turned to a comment from a producer who told her 30 years ago that she was a mere “popcorn actress.”
“And at that time I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have, 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,” Moore said.
