The body she's always wanted: Demi Moore says that when she finally stopped trying to dominate her body, she finally liked it


For years interest in her figure, and how she kept it in shape, overshadowed her acting career.

And Demi Moore did little to discourage the scrutiny - now admitting that she had an 'extreme obsession' with her body.

But at 47 the actress says she is finally happy with her figure, and is no longer trying to change it.


'I had an extreme obsession with my body. I made it a measure of my own value,' she admits.

'I tried to dominate it, which I did, and I changed it multiple times over. But it never lasted and ultimately it didn't bring me anything but temporary happiness.

'Does being thin resolve anything? No. The irony is that when I abandoned that desire to dominate my body, it actually became the body that I'd always wanted.

'But it only happened when I stopped trying to control it. At the end of the day, this kind of obsession is pointless and meaningless.'


In great shape: Dami admitted to having plastic surgery, but said she had had nothing done on her face


Demi, a mother of four, is often said to have had upwards of £200,000 of plastic surgery in order to keep her figure looking its best.

But although she admits she has undergone some surgery, she says the amount she has spent has been vastly overestimated.

'I have had something done but it's not on my face,' she told Elle magazine.

And she said the speculation annoyed her.

'It feels like school-yard name-calling a lot of the time. It hurts.
'You know what? Maybe one day I'll go under the knife.

'it just irritates me that people are constantly saying how much I've spent on plastic surgery.'

Now happily married to Ashton Kutcher, 15 years her junior, Demi says the age difference is not an issue.

'Every once in a while it's funny if I think, "When I was this age, you were in second grade...", but really we're equal partners in this.'

And she says they haven't ruled out having a child together.
'We talk about it and it's something that we would like.

'He's an amazing father to my daughters already, so I have no doubt that if it's in our future, it would be another incredible part of our journey together.'
