Demi Moore has revealed her true feelings about the close-up of her bare buttocks in her new horror movie The Substance. The 62-year-old shot to fame in the 1980s and 1990s and was widely recognized for her fearless attitude to being naked onscreen. She broke boundaries this year by appearing in a full-frontal nude scene at the age of 61 in The Substance, which became a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival. Now, however, she has candidly discussed the misgivings that she harbors whenever she sees the low-angle shot of her undressed behind in the picture. 'It's like, ugh, it bugs the s*** out of me,' said Demi in a new cover interview with Elle - while also disclosing why she did not insist the scene be changed.  'I didn't ask for any adjustments because I knew it was in service of something that was more important than me,' she said.  Demi Moore has revealed her true feelings about the close-up of her bare buttocks in her new horror movie The Substance (pictured)  'It's like, Celebrity Deep Fake ugh, it bugs the s*** out of me,' said Demi in a new cover interview with Elle - while also disclosing why she did not insist the scene be changed 'It felt like any hardship, any exposure of my own insecurities, would be worth it if I was part of bringing forward the conversation,' she said of The Substance, which offers a blistering take on the social expectations surrounding older women. Demi radiated movie star magnetism on her latest cover in a sparkling, floor-length strapless gown that hugged her enviable willowy frame. Inside the magazine, she modeled a wine-colored bodysuit that allowed her to flash her statuesque legs to full advantage. Demi has been known for flashing the flesh since her 'Brat Pack' days, when her sex scenes with Rob Lowe in the 1986 film About Last Night... drove audiences wild. She has disrobed in movies ranging from the 1993 erotic drama Indecent Proposal to the 1995 historical romance The Scarlet Letter to the 1996 comedy Striptease. In 1991, she broke ground and ignited a controversy by posing naked on the cover of Vanity Fair while seven months pregnant by her then-husband Bruce Willis.  Demi became the then-highest-paid actress in Hollywood when she received $12.5 million to lead the cast of Striptease. Although the movie was derided by the critics, it managed to earn a respectable profit - thanks to the pull of Demi's topless scenes.  'I didn't ask for any adjustments because I knew it was in service of something that was more important than me,' she said Inside the magazine, she modeled a wine-colored bodysuit that allowed her to flash her statuesque legs to full advantage 'It felt like any hardship, any exposure of my own insecurities, would be worth it if I was part of bringing forward the conversation,' said of The Substance Read More Rumer Willis brands mom Demi Moore a 'hot granny' on her 62nd birthday in sweet post However the movie was a critical bomb that dented Demi's career, feeding into the criticism that she was flaunting her body to excess. Demi, who has now confessed the 'dancing' in Striptease 'was massively uncomfortable for me,' reacted to the opprobrium by switching gears. She developed a muscular, military figure and shaved her head completely bald for the 1997 action movie G.I. Jane - which inspired the joke that prompted Will Smith to slap Chris Rock at the Oscars two years ago. 'I changed my body multiple times through different roles, and I think I chose those roles, whether it was conscious or not, for the very opportunity to find some peace and self-love,' she has now said. 'And when I did find that, it was only by really surrendering and letting go of what the outside was going to look like.' However she has confessed that she subjected herself to a great deal of 'torment' about her body in her earlier career, including an eating disorder. 'The perfect example is when I was told to lose weight multiple times. The producer pulled me aside. It was very embarrassing and humiliating,' she said.  'But that's just one thing,' added the St. Elmo's Fire actress, noting: 'How I internalized it and how it moved me to a place of such torture and harshness against myself, of real extreme behaviors, and that I placed almost all the value of who I was on my body being a certain way - that's on me.' Demi leads the cast of The Substance as Elizabeth Sparkle, a movie star whose career is on the decline because of her advancing age  Sue, played by Margaret Qualley, emerges as the new youthful version of Elizabeth, who has to move her mind back and forth between the young and old bodies weekly  Demi leads the cast of The Substance as Elizabeth Sparkle, a movie star whose career is on the decline because of her advancing age. Elizabeth finds out about a fluid called The Substance, which she can inject to create a younger version of herself who can act in her place. Sue, played by Margaret Qualley, emerges as the new youthful version of Elizabeth, who has to move her mind back and forth between the young and old bodies weekly. However, the process of keeping the Sue body in operation causes Elizabeth's original body to grow dramatically older extremely fast.  'There was an incredibly liberating aspect to stepping into this really vulnerable, exposed place emotionally and physically,' said Demi. 'The film gave me the opportunity to look at where my ego was kind of running the show, where I was giving up my power, and it pushed me to find a little bit more gentility and acceptance of myself as I am.'
