Demi Moore’s latest film The Substance may be about the dangers of fame and one woman’s search for eternal youth, but in real life, Demi Moore has overcome negativity to find her healthiest self

After unexpectedly bagging the award for best female actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy, at this year’s Golden Globes, 62-year-old actress Demi Moore could be on the brink of her first-ever Oscar nomination for Coralie Fargeat’s 2024 satirical body-horror film The Substance.

The Ghost actress may have shaken up the Oscar race with her portrayal of a 50-year-old “past her prime” actress who tries desperately to restore her youth, but nobody seems to have cheated the ageing process quite as well as Moore herself.

On December 6, a day after her triumph at the Golden Globes, Moore gave fans a peek into her preparations for the event. One snippet on Instagram showed the actress enjoying a plate of french-fries and salad while her glam team fuss over her hair and make-up.

With her long, dark hair, wrinkle-free skin and toned limbs, Moore looks a decade younger than she is – and we know there’s more to it than pre-gaming with fries! Here’s why the actress looks so great at 62.

Moore has said that looking on the bright side of life has had a big impact on her appearance.

“I do believe that when we hold upset, anger, hurt, pain or bitterness, it ages us and we wear it,” she said in an interview with W magazine. “That isn’t to say we are always going to feel happy. But it’s important not to hold on to things.”

Exercise-wise, she has credited daily yoga using The Mirror, which bills itself as an “interactive home gym” according to its founder and former chief executive Brynn Putnam.
