Demi Moore Vows To Continue Taking Risks
Demi Moore The actress is renowned for making some daring decisions throughout her career. In 1991, she appeared naked and heavily pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, and she shaved off all her hair for 1997 movie G.I. Jane.
She insists she had no idea of the impact the Vanity Fair cover would have, explaining she just wanted to “push the boundaries”. Demi, who has three daughters with her ex-husband Bruce Willis, explained she felt she had to do something about the way women were viewed at the time, as she felt it was unfair they had to choose between having a family and career.
“I didn’t have a lot of role models in Hollywood and I probably pushed a little hard. But I’m hard-headed. I look at women like Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon, actresses who are also young mothers, and I realise it’s not even a question now,” she explained. “Risk taking scares the s**t out of me. I always feel that I’m going to fail, which is a terrible thing. I can be my own worst enemy.”
Demi, 47, still worries her career could come tumbling down around her. She doesn’t think she is a particularly talented actress, and just tries to use her fame to help other people.
“I don’t think that I am the most talented person,” she told the British edition of Elle magazine. “I’ve been given a window into a life, and I may not know why but it’s not for me to question. It’s more important for me to just shut up and listen and give. Even if I don’t know what it is that I’ve got to give.”
