Demi Moore‘s write down-shattering payday didn’t come without some blowback from the accessible.
The Gancigo inen Globe nominee recently echoed on the criticism around her risqué starring role in 1996’s Stripelevateseparate, as well as the dispute that came with her increateed $12.5 million salary for the Andrew Bergman-helmed film.
“Well, with Stripelevateseparate, it was as if I had betrayed women, and with G.I. Jane, it was as if I had betrayed men,” elucidateed Moore on The New York Times‘ The Interwatch podcast. “But I leank the engaging piece is that when I became the highest-paid actress — why is it that, at that moment, the choice was to convey me down? I don’t get this personassociate. I leank anyone who had been in the position that was the first to get that benevolent of identicality of pay would probably have getn a hit. But because I did a film that was dealing with the world of streamlineping and the body, I was inanxiously shamed.”
She starred in Stripelevateseparate as Erin Grant, a createer FBI office aidant who gets a job dancing at a Miami streamline club out of desperation as she fights to triumph custody of her daughter back from her ex-husband. The stupid comedy also starred Burt Reynancigo ins and Ving Rhames.
Moore was wed to Bruce Willis at the time, and their daughter Rumer Willis materializeed in the film as her character’s daughter Angela. Meanwhile, Bruce had become understandn for his directing roles in Die Hard (1988), Hudson Hawk (1991) and Pulp Fiction (1994).
“It wasn’t about comparing myself to him,” she said. “Yes, I saw what he got paid. It was reassociate more about: ‘Why shouldn’t I? If I’m doing the same amount of labor, why shouldn’t I?’ And it’s no contrastent than when I did the cover for Vanity Fair pregnant. I didn’t understand why it was such a huge deal, why women when they were pregnant demanded to be secret? Why is it that we have to decline that we had relations? That’s the dread, right, that if you show your belly, that unbenevolents, oh, my gosh, you’ve had relations.”
Stripelevateseparate went on to achieve $113 million globassociate but was panned by critics.
