Demi Moore has a new interview in the latest issue of Hello! in which she promotes her film Flawless with Michael Caine, which was just released in the UK. Moore, 46, address the long standing rumor that she’s had millions of dollars worth of plastic surgery, and it’s hard to tell whether she’s denying having had anything done at all or if she’s just saying that the amount of work that has been reported is untrue. It sort of sounds like she’s denying surgery altogether and she almost rules it out for the future:
Do you get irritated by all the rumours suggesting you paid $3 million for surgical procedures on your face and body?
“Yes, it’s irritating – and it’s also not true. But to fight it feels futile because it just perpetuates the myth. The truth is I have no problem with enhancing one’s looks or fixing something that’s changed. It’s always an option, but I can’t see me ever getting something like that done.”

Demi also talks about the ageism in Hollywood, an issue that she’s addressed in the past. She says that she has trouble finding roles because she’s older but doesn’t look old enough. As for how she keeps her figure, she says her fitness routine is a lot more relaxed than in the past when she she claims she nearly killed herself getting buff:
Is it harder finding the right roles now you are in your 40s?
“Being the age I am, it has been a tough few years because there is so much focus on how I look. It almost got to the point where I felt like, ‘Well, they don’t know what to do with me’. I am flawed. I’m not 20, not 30, but I’m certainly different from what most people feel someone in her 40s should be. I’m very comfortable with the age I am, and the way I look.”
You’re famous for getting into shape for your roles – and you look amazing. Do you still have to work out a lot?
“I must admit that I did nearly kill myself years ago, but I’ve not had that kind of time for quite a while. There was a time when I took on several film roles that made it absolutely necessary for me to be buff, but I took it a bit too far, I think.
“I used to love running, but I have replaced that with brisk walking – it’s less impact on the bones. I also do Pilates to stretch and elongate the muscles, and some light weights. I don’t kill myself any more.”

Moore calls her children her “biggest accomplishments in life,” and says “there is nothing more fulfilling” than motherhood. She previously defended her teen daughters against people who criticize their looks, saying “It’s straight out cruelty… [they] aren’t choosing to be in the public eye.”
I like Demi Moore and don’t think she should be forced to admit to anything she’s not comfortable telling the public. It seems like she’s mincing words when it comes to plastic surgery, though. She’s surely had a little something done here and there, as well as some fillers and botox. Maybe she’s referring to more drastic measures as well as the outrageous amount of money that’s been claimed she spent on procedures.
