LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Demi Moore recently took a trip down memory lane while sharing the “crazy” way she lost her post-partum weight after giving birth to her second daughter Scout Willis in 1991. 

Now, as a 61-year-old ageless beauty, Moore shared the extent to which she went to regain her pre-pregnancy body and get in shape for ‘Indecent Proposal’.

During an appearance on the latest episode of ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ on September 22, Moore shared that she used to bike 60 miles each day to get back in shape.

Sharing that she used to bike 30 miles each way while commuting to the sets of ‘Indecent Proposal’, Demi Moore shared, “I put so much pressure on myself.”

The ‘Ghost’ actress added, “I did have experiences of being told to lose weight. And all of those, while they may have been embarrassing and humiliating, it’s what I did to myself because of that.”

“I think she was, like, five or six months old when we were shooting [Indecent Proposal],” recalled Moore about shooting the movie, per Daily Mail.

She continued, “So, I was feeding [Scout] through the night, getting up in the dark with a trainer, with headlamp, biking all the way to Paramount, wherever, even on location where we were shooting; then shooting a full day, which is usually a 12-hour day; and then starting all over again.” 



 

“Even just the idea of, like, what I did to my body, it’s, like, so crazy, so ridiculous,” candidly admitted the ‘Striptease’ actress. 

Apart from her daughter Scout, 33, Mooe shares her eldest daughter Rumer, 36, and Tallulah, 30, with ex-husband Bruce Willis, 69.  

Demi Moore recalled almost getting fired for her weight in her memoir

This is, however, not the first time that she talked about her obsession with weight loss while filming the 1993 flick. Previously, in her 2019 memoir, ‘Inside Out’, she wrote, “All I could think about was my body, my body, my body. I doubled down on my already over-the-top exercise routine," per The Things.

She continued, “I cut out carbs, I ran and I biked and I worked out on every machine imaginable in the gym we’d installed in the house in Hailey. I was actually feeling comfortable with how I looked when I went in to see Adrian about a month later to talk about costumes. I finally had my body where I wanted it.”

However, her drastic weight loss apparently did not impress director Adrian Lyne who was taken aback by her transformation. 

Moore recalled, “'You’ve lost a lot of weight', Adrian said immediately when I walked in for our meeting.”

She continued to explain, “Initially, I took that as a compliment, and I explained that I didn’t want to feel self-conscious in all the love scenes coming up, so I’d been working hard on my body.”

“I don’t think he listened to a word I was saying. He just kept looking at me with a disturbed expression on his face. Finally, he spat, 'I don’t want you looking like a ****ing man!'” wrote the star. 

Moore even shared that Lyne allegedly threatened to fire her if she didn’t gain at least ten pounds.
