00:00Thank you for playing, should we or should we not follow the advice of the galactically stupid?
00:10I'm sorry I lost your set of steak knives.
00:14Tom Cruise and Demi Moore chewed the scenery in the 1992 box office hit A Few Good Men.
00:20Three decades later, she's now sharing a galactically awkward exchange with her co-star
00:25and shedding light on how gender expectations have changed in Hollywood.
00:29At a New Yorker festival Q&A, Demi revealed she was 8 months pregnant
00:33when she first ran lines with Tom and the director Rob Reiner before filming began.
00:39She claimed,
00:40According to People Mag, Demi mused on stage that Tom was uncomfortable with her being heavily pregnant.
00:55At the time, few working actresses were having children.
00:59The Oscar-nominated star of The Substance added that her choice to try to juggle work and life
01:04came with a lot of pressure that she put on herself,
01:07especially when it came to being in shape for the military legal drama.
01:11In A Few Good Men, Demi played a lawyer in the Navy's Internal Affairs Department.
01:15She started working out, even before giving birth to her daughter Scout, who is now 34.
01:22Demi confessed,
01:23Around that time, Demi famously posed nude while seven months pregnant with Scout for the August 1991 cover of Vanity Fair, shot by Annie Leibovitz.
01:45Demi went on to have three daughters with her ex-husband Bruce Willis, Scout, Rumor, and Tallulah.
01:51Over the decades, the mom of three found that work-life balance while also flaunting her jaw-dropping figure on the silver screen.
02:05For her role in 1996's Strip Tease, Demi was paid $12.5 million,
02:11a then-unprecedented salary that made her the highest-paid film actress at the time.
02:17Then in 2003's Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, she showed off her killer bikini body.
02:23Last year, Demi dished to her former co-star, Drew Barrymore, about the challenges of filming that iconic scene.
02:29Demi was 40 years old when she shot the scene and received a lot of attention for her fit physique.
02:53She said she wasn't prepared for the focus that swirled around her body, that was specifically tied to her age.
02:59Now, ahead of her 63rd birthday on November 11th, Demi is continuing to shine light on the struggles that women in Hollywood might face,
03:07from pregnancy, to beauty standards, to ageism.
03:10Ever since her breakout role in 1985's St. Elmo's Fire, Demi Moore has proven that at any age, her career is still on fire.
