Demi Moore might have finally gotten her flowers at age 60<\/a> for her portrayal of an aging star who experiments with a black market drug to regain her youth, but The Substance actress <\/a>has three decades in Hollywood under her belt. Moore took a trip down memory lane in a new interview, reflecting on how she balanced motherhood with her career\u2014as well as how her second pregnancy made for an \u201cawkward\u201d filming dynamic with former co-star Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n While making an appearance at the New Yorker Festival on Saturday, October 25, the Ghost alum opened up about reading lines with Cruise for A Few Good Men when she was eight months pregnant with her second daughter, Scout Willis<\/a>, whom she shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis. Chatting with Jia Tolentino during a Q&A portion, Moore recalled there being an uncomfortable dynamic when the co-stars began pre-production on the 1992 movie.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise attend a benefit in 2008<\/p>\n \u201cI think Tom was quite embarrassed,\u201d Moore shared, per People<\/a>. \u201cI actually felt okay about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the Charlie\u2019s Angels actress chalked up the weird dynamic to Cruise (and other Hollywood actors) not being used to being around pregnant co-stars. Explaining that it was rare for actors to balance motherhood and their careers at the time, Moore added, \u201cIt’s one of the many things, for me, that I just felt didn’t make sense. And so I challenged that to say, you know, \u2018Why not? Why can’t you have both?\u2019 But with that, I think, came a lot of pressure I put on myself to, in a sense, prove that it was possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n Demi Moore attends the 5th Annual Academy Museum Gala on October 18 Getty Images<\/p>\n Demi Moore with Tom Cruise in uniform in A Few Good Men<\/p>\n Part of that included pressure to get back into shape<\/a> even before she gave birth. Moore, who played a Marine in the film, shared, \u201cI was going to be in a military uniform, and probably overly anticipated and started working out and trying to get in shape<\/a> even before she was born.\u201d She revealed that she did a particularly grueling workout the day Scout was born, recalling, “I did a two-and-a-half-hour hike the day my water broke. I did a 24-mile bike ride, and then was dancing at a reggae club\u2014hence why she came two-and-a-half weeks early.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Getty](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0a513a7417cc054df2076127fb62f66d.jpeg\"\/)
