People magazine crowning Demi Moore World’s Most Beautiful Person of 2025 divides Internet

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Demi Moore is officially back in the spotlight — and in a big way. The iconic actress has just been named People magazine’s World's Most Beautiful Person of 2025, following a triumphant return to Hollywood. 

Moore, who is known for her memorable roles in 'Ghost', 'Striptease', and 'GI Jane', made waves last year with her performance in the 2024 psychological thriller 'The Substance'.

Her powerful portrayal not only marked a major comeback but also earned her the first Golden Globe Award of her career. During her emotional acceptance speech, Moore reminded fans of a timeless truth: “Know the value of your worth.”

Demi Moore gets candid about growing older in Hollywood as she's named World's Most Beautiful Person

At 62, Demi Moore is not just celebrating a major Hollywood comeback — she’s also opening up about her journey of growth, self-love, and embracing life’s transformations.

In her candid interview with People magazine, Moore reflected on the ups and downs of her life and career, sharing powerful insights into motherhood, aging in the spotlight, and how her approach to self-care has evolved.

The actress, who shares daughters Rumer Willis, 36, Scout Willis, 33, and Tallulah Willis with ex-husband Bruce Willis, 31, spoke movingly about the joy of being a mother.

“Giving birth is one of the only times that you can 100 percent know that pain is bringing you a gift. And when you can apply that to other things, you start to see that that is a truth of all things that are difficult,” she shared.

Moore also got real about growing older in Hollywood.

“I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now,” she added. “It doesn’t mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘Oh, my face is falling’ — I do. But I can accept that that’s where I’m at today, and I know the difference today is that it doesn’t define my value or who I am.”

When asked how she defines beauty now, Moore responded, “In a way, beauty just is. You can look at a flower and see its beauty. On a human level, I find it’s authenticity and positivity. Beauty comes out of comfort with being exactly who you are.”

The actress also reflected on how her approach to wellness has transformed over the years.

“I did torture myself. Crazy things like biking from Malibu all the way to Paramount, which is about 26 miles. All because I placed so much value on what my outsides looked like,” she admitted. “I think the biggest difference today is it’s so much more about my overall health and longevity and quality of life.”

Looking back, Moore said she once had a harsh, punishing relationship with her body. “I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it. And now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship,” she acknowledged. 

Internet divided as Demi Moore is named World's Most Beautiful Person by People magazine

Demi Moore being named the World's Most Beautiful Person of 2025 by People magazine elicited mixed responses on the internet. While some celebrated the choice, others expressed disagreement.

One wrote, "I'm sorry but I don't think that someone who has had as much work done as Demi should even be considered as the Most Beautiful! Her so-called 'beauty' is fake!!!"

Another said, "I like Demi Moore. I just don’t think she is that beautiful. Sorry. I think when she got her nose done and went into this strange long dark Indian style flat hair style it was over."

"Seriously? In the world? She's looks great but People magazine you failed. There are so many gorgeous women out there that have beauty and brains and actually contribute to our world," a person expressed, whereas someone else shared, "She looks good, but should not be given a label as aging well or naturally." 

Meanwhile, someone who was excited about the choice wrote, "Loved ever since General Hospital. Favorite movie ...About Last Night...great soundtrack. The one Bob Seger song you will never hear except on this Soundtrack. 'Living inside my heart'....She deserves every thing that is coming her way and it's about time."

Clapping back at the criticism, one more writing, "Stop hating! She still in it & even if she had plastic surgery, she proving her worth! More than alot others!!"

"I think she looks beautiful . Plastic surgery or not if that’s what she’s chosen she looks absolutely beautiful," read another comment. 

"I started watching her when she was cast on General Hospital so many years ago. Her voice just pulled one in and she was and still is gorgeous. She is very memorable," another admirer wrote, and one more echoed, "She was great in 'The Swans', she has definitely aged well, wishing for continued health and success."
