Demi Moore revealed that she thinks Tom Cruise \u201cwas quite embarrassed\u201d by her pregnancy during the pre-production of A Few Good Men.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Jia Tolentino at the New Yorker Festival on Saturday, the 61-year-old actress said she was eight months pregnant when she and Cruise, 63, began reading lines for the 1992 film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Tom [Cruise] was quite embarrassed,\u201d Moore said during the talk, according<\/a> to People. \u201cI actually felt OK about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

Cruise\u2019s representatives did not immediately respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n

Before filming began on the Oscar-nominated film starring Moore, Cruise, and Clint Eastwood, 95, the actress revealed she had started working out while pregnant with her second child, Scout LaRue Willis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look back at that time now, and I go, \u2018What the f— was I thinking?\u2019 And what was I even trying to prove? But it wasn\u2019t as supported as it is today,\u201d the actress said, adding that Cruise\u2019s reaction to her pregnancy on set, as well as the pressure she put on herself, reflected the fact that young actresses were not as \u201csupported\u201d then as they are currently. <\/p>\n

In 1996, the same decade Moore worked with Cruise, soap opera actress Hunter Tylo filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against her employer, the Spelling Entertainment Group, for pregnancy discrimination. A judge ruled that the company must pay<\/a> Tylo $4.9 million, plus $1 million in attorneys\u2019 fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the many things, for me, that I just felt didn\u2019t make sense. And so I challenged that to say, you know, \u2018Why not? Why can\u2019t you have both?\u2019\u201d Moore said about balancing motherhood and a career in the 1990s, when there was industry pressure to choose one or the other. <\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d The Substance actress recalled about her pregnancy with Scout, 34, adding that it is no surprise her second daughter came two and a half weeks early. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Moore shares Scout with her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, 70. They also have two other daughters, Rumer, 37, and Tallulah, 31.<\/p>\n

During her second pregnancy, Moore appeared<\/a> naked and heavily pregnant on the controversial August 1991 cover of Vanity Fair. \u201cPregnancy agrees with me,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n

A Few Good Men, in which Moore starred as Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway, a Navy lawyer who is the superior to Tom Cruise\u2019s character, grossed<\/a> $141.3 million worldwide. <\/p>\n

Moore was nominated for Best Actress at the 2025 Oscars for her role in The Substance, in which she portrayed an aging celebrity who uses a black-market drug to make herself look younger after being fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that\u2019s moved me the most is, obviously, I knew women of my age would absolutely relate and connect, but it\u2019s the young people that have come up who have seen themselves in this that has moved me the most,\u201d the actress said about her most recent role. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Demi Moore revealed that she thinks Tom Cruise \u201cwas quite embarrassed\u201d by her pregnancy during the pre-production of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":335803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[166232,18046,60196,108690,171,85611,11683,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-335802","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-a-few-good-men","9":"tag-actor","10":"tag-actress","11":"tag-demi-moore","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-pregnant","14":"tag-tom-cruise","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115445630620286758","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
