Demi Moore is featured on three (count them, three) separate covers of V Magazine for their Spring 2008 issue.
The 45-year-old actress is returning to the big screen this spring to star alongside Michael Caine in the jewelry heist caper Flawless. Demi talks personal histories, false rumors, the raw food diet that never was, and her relationships with ex-husband Bruce Willis and current husband Ashton Kutcher. Interview snippets below:
On what a day in the life of Demi is like: “My normal day is, I get up with the kids, take them to school, a few days a week I might do Pilates, reading, meetings, and then we always do family dinner at 6:30.”
On gaining respect for making her family situation work: “It’s far more exhausting to be angry and blaming. You can dig deep within yourself and really have a desire for someone else’s happiness, which I feel I do have for Bruce and he has for me. He has a joy and appreciation for what Ashton and I share, and for how Ashton is with the girls.”
On transitioning family life from Bruce Willis to Ashton Kutcher: “It wasn’t a piece of cake. It wasn’t automatic or easy. It took diligence and effort and even enduring awkwardness, and a lot of general giving on my part and Bruce’s part. And really, tremendously, on Ashton’s part. Coming into my life, Ashton just wasn’t meeting somebody that had baggage. You know, I had trunks!”
On dealing with paparazzi after moving back to Los Angeles: “When I first moved back to L.A., I had a very difficult time and found that I didn’t want to leave the house so much. And then I started to feel, well, I don’t want to be isolated and worried that if they’re getting a photograph then I’m not going to go and do something. It’s difficult when they hang out at the bottom of your street waiting for you to drive by.”
On having sympathy for Britney: “No one has seen it worse than Britney Spears. How can anyone see that and think that’s an OK way to expect anybody to live, no matter where they’re at in their life?”
Demi’s V Mag issue hits newsstands everywhere this week. Flawless opens in theaters March 28th.
