The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he’s at, he is stable. What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at. When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game. But when you show up to meet them where they are, there is a great beauty and sweetness.
The actress went on to share that she visited the actor two days ago with their granddaughter, Louetta. She added that they are just grateful for being able to share whatever they have for however long they have. Last month, upon her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress mentioned that the Die Hard actor is in a stable place.

I know he knows how much I love him. I know how much he loves me. I know how much he loves all of us.

Demi Moore reflects upon her career
At the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival event, where Moore was awarded the Career Achievement in Acting Award, she reflected upon her career. She has been a part of movies including Ghost, Indecent Proposal, G.I. Jane, A Few Good Men, Striptease, and more. The actress shared (via People),
I felt like I was watching a lot of life. Actually feels like lifetimes, because the gift is that we get to keep changing and growing. What I was thinking was, ‘Thank God, I kept getting opportunities to get better.’
In her recent interview with CBS News, the actress spoke about her recently released movie, The Substance. The movie is about an aging TV star who finds a sister-looking potion that can give her a younger, more perfect version of herself, but it comes with a terrible price. Speaking about it, she added,
I put so much pressure on myself. And I did have experiences of being told to lose weight. And all of those, while they may have been embarrassing and humiliating, it’s what I did to myself because of that.
Moore further added that some days when she looks herself in the mirror, she feels that’s pretty good. But on some days she mentioned that she catches herself dissecting, hyper-focusing on things she doesn’t like about herself. But in the end, Demi Moore noted that it is what it is, so she is going to make the best of what it is. The actress shared with the publication that she is just trying to focus on what brings her joy.
The Substance is currently playing in theaters. It has received positive response upon release and special mention for Moore’s performance in the movie.
