Demi Moore thought that Tom Cruise was “embarrassed” by her pregnancy when they worked together in A Few Good Men. The actress recently recalled working with Cruise and opened up about pregnancy and working mothers in the film industry.
Demi Moore talks about Tom Cruise’s reaction to her pregnancy
Demi Moore recently attended the New Yorker Festival on October 25, where she sat down with Jia Tolentino for a Q&A session. During the conversation, the Substance star looked back on her experience working with Tom Cruise on the set of A Few Good Men.
Moore was around eight months pregnant with her and ex-husband Bruce Willis’ daughter, Scout Willis, at the time. She recalled how Cruise might have been uncomfortable with her pregnancy during the making of the film.
“I think Tom was quite embarrassed,” the actress recalled. She further stated, “I actually felt okay about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward.” (via People)
Moore went on to explain further, stating that Cruise might have seemed awkward because most of the fellow Hollywood stars felt the pressure of choosing their career over motherhood. So, it was quite unusual for an actress to be pregnant at that time.
“It’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, ‘Why not? Why can’t you have both?’ But with that, I think, came a lot of pressure I put on myself to, in a sense, prove that it was possible,” Moore reflected.
Moore went on to recall the different challenges of pregnancy that she had to overcome at the time of filming. “I look back at that time now, and I go, ‘What the f— was I thinking?’ And what was I even trying to prove?’ But it wasn’t as supported as it is today. You know, to be breastfeeding and then blocking and rehearsing a scene,” she stated.
However, Moore is now optimistic that the industry has changed and is now more supportive of young actresses and motherhood.
