Demi Moore had this unusual demand before filming bikini scene in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
Demi Moore was particular about one thing before filming a bikini scene in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday, the 62-year-old revealed that she learned about the iconic scene just three weeks before shooting.
'All I remember is begging them not to shoot my butt. I don't know why that was my obsession,' Moore told host Drew Barrymore, who co-starred with her in the 2003 action film alongside Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.
She went on to explain that due to the short period of notice, she had no time to overthink about the role. Instead, she was forced to 'compartmentalise.'

'You know, he called me to start shooting [in] three-and-a-half weeks,' Moore said of director Joseph McGinty Nichol. 'And I had no time to think about what I looked like, which was almost better,' she confessed.
Barrymore was shocked by the revelation as she expressed her disbelief at how the G.I. Jane star was able to achieve the feat. 'No one can do in three weeks what you showed up with. So you were clearly good to go,' she told her former co-star.

'Like there's no magic wand that gets you to that in three weeks. I've done a three-week diet. I didn't end up there,' the 50-year-old added. Meanwhile, the Songbird actress shared that she was surprised by the attention she got for filming the bikini scene at the time.
Moore explained that she 'was not prepared for the focus that happened from it.' 'I had no idea the amplification, ironically, that was specifically tied to my age,' Moore, who had just turned 40 while shooting the scene, added.

Rumer Willis recalls childhood moment that sparked her love for movies
Hollywood actress Rumer Willis has opened up about the very moment she fell in love with the world of cinema, revealing that her passion for acting was sparked during her childhood visit to the set of the 1996 film Striptease, in which her mother Demi Moore played the lead role. In a candid interview, Rumer, now 36, shared a nostalgic memory from her early years that shaped her path in showbiz. 'I was just so enamoured and kind of like, 'What is this world? What's going on here?'' she recalled, describing the excitement and curiosity she felt while on set. The film, which starred Demi Moore as an FBI secretary-turned-stripper, gave Rumer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the glamorous yet gritty world of filmmaking. Far from being fazed by the film's adult themes, Rumer found herself captivated by the costumes and energy of the set. 'During lunch sometimes I would go try and put my mom's shoes on and a feather boa and dance around the stage,' she fondly remembered. Rumer admitted that being surrounded by actresses and performers left a lasting impression on her. 'There were all these ladies around me all the time. I was just so enamoured,' she said. Striptease faced criticism upon its release, with Demi Moore confronting backlash for her bold role. In an interview, Moore reflected on the judgment she faced, saying, 'There was an interesting kind of judgement placed on a woman who worked as a dancer, but the idea was that this was a woman trying to take care of her child in the best way she could.' Despite the controversies, Moore's performance marked a pivotal moment in her career. She became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood during the mid-90s and remains proud of the impact she made. 'I changed the playing field for all women,' she affirmed. Rumer's memories of that time not only highlight the bond she shares with her mother but also underscore the powerful influence of growing up in a creative and unapologetically bold environment—one that clearly helped shape her future in film.
