"I was punishing myself": Demi Moore makes disturbing confessions about her physical appearance

The quest for beauty and eternal youth is something Demi Moore didn't escape. On and off the screen, she confesses to being tortured by her physical appearance. 

Playing a woman obsessed with her appearance, continuously seeking a younger version of herself in the recent film"The Substance”, she told People magazine that she struggled to accept the passage of time and its effects on her image. At 62, Demi Moore has made peace with her reflection, which, as reported by Belgian media RTBF, wasn't always the case. "I was torturing myself because I placed a lot of importance on my appearance. I think I have evolved towards greater kindness to myself. I was very harsh and had a much more antagonistic relationship with my body. In fact, I was simply punishing myself," admits the actress.

Even though the pressure on women in Hollywood doesn't seem to have lessened in intensity, Demi Moore explains that she is, finally, grateful to her body which has allowed her to experience everything she has lived through so far. "I appreciate my body more for everything it has endured, all that has brought me to where I am today," she tells People. And she adds: "I can accept that this is where I am today, and the difference is that I know it doesn't define my value or who I am".

Grey hair? Not afraid at all! 

Moreover, the actress doesn't seem to mind the arrival of grey hair at all: "I look at women who have amazing grey hair, especially long, and I think it's striking. I would definitely keep them. Mine are slightly grey, which gives my hair a clouded look. I only started colouring my hair at the age of 55."
