The film sees Demi Moore\u2019s alter ego, Elspeth, succumb to some truly horrific consequences; but in real life, the actress is faring far more favourably. In fact, unlike Elspeth, it seems as if Demi truly is ageing in reverse, stunning fans in photo shoots and on the red carpet with her glowing, line-free appearance and vivacious energy. Not bad for a woman who, at 62, truly is at the top of her game \u2013 in an industry that has always prioritised female youthfulness above all else.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s Demi\u2019s secret? According to insiders, she\u2019s committed to investing in the very best skincare and beauty treatments, and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. But more than that \u2013 while she doesn\u2019t fear or deny her age \u2013 she also doesn\u2019t let it define her, embracing a \u201cyouthful spirit\u201d that defies the dates on her passport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemi has always had a very young spirit,\u201d says a source close to the Hollywood icon, who first started her career in modelling, before making her acting debut in 1981, aged 19, on the US soap opera General Hospital. \u201cNot that she isn\u2019t wise, because she is, but she\u2019s also very playful. She has joie de vivre, and is very in<br \/>touch with her inner child. She\u2019s unapologetic about her zest for life, and she doesn\u2019t subscribe to the school of thought that believes a woman can be \u2018past it\u2019. She feels as fit and energetic as ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/imago805806452-scaled.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Demi Moore&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Demi Moore&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-gallery-caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-2.75%||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Demi continues to surprise fans with her youthful appearance<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>While Demi is triumphantly breaking barriers for older women right now \u2013 and holding Hollywood standards to account with her haunting and metaphorically pointed turn in The Substance \u2013 it\u2019s safe to say she hasn\u2019t always been so confident in her own skin. The actress herself has acknowledged the self-criticism and self-punishment that plagued her early life in the public eye, as she battled an eating disorder in the 1990s and also found herself in some unhappy relationships. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter last year, she touched on the insecurities she\u2019s since overcome, reflecting, \u201cI can also look back and remember how critical I was, all the things that I found wrong with myself. So, it\u2019s something that is really a job that has to start from within.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being happy with herself from the inside-out has been a longtime coming, but there\u2019s still, of course, a focus on the outside aesthetics. It\u2019s long been rumoured that Demi has had cosmetic surgery to maintain her looks, with commentators suggesting she\u2019s had everything done from liposuction and a boob job to a facelift. But while she\u2019s always denied those rumours, she has acknowledged that she invests money and time into the very best skincare treatments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe takes care of her skin like an aesthetician,\u201d our insider reveals. \u201cEvery morning and night, she has a long routine that involves all sorts of lotions and special tools, like a vibrating gua shua [a skin scraping tool] for facial massage. People always ask her for her secrets, and she recommends laser treatments &#8211; she gets them on both her face and body. They increase collagen and erase sun damage. As far as admitting to something extensive like a face lift, or at least a partial lift because her skin is so smooth, that\u2019s never happened. If Demi has done that, she\u2019s keeping it to herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/imago56807284-scaled.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Demi Moore&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Demi Moore&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-gallery-caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-2.75%||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The young Demi<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>As for the other tricks to her age defiance, we\u2019re told it comes down to spending as much time as possible with her daughters \u2013 Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31, whom she shares with her ex husband Bruce Willis \u2013 and her daughters\u2019 friends, and also engaging in the \u201cchild-like\u201d interests she\u2019s always had. One of those, which may be most surprising to fans, is her longtime collection of ornate dolls. Speaking about her unusual collection earlier this year, she said, \u201cThey\u2019re not like dolly dolls. They\u2019re not even porcelain. They\u2019re one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted. I think of them more like sculptures that capture a moment of emotion, but it\u2019s in a miniaturised human being.\u201d Her sentiments may appear grandiose, but \u2013 ultimately \u2013 hint at a youthful spirit that shows she\u2019s just as playful as she was when she was a young girl who played with dolls.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the actress is almost always accompanied by her micro Chihuahua, named Pilaf, who travels with her across the world and \u2013 as those closest to her report \u2013 keeps her young and active. \u201cI feel so grateful and blessed that she\u2019s in my life,\u201d Demi told Vogue last year about her mini pooch. \u201cA veterinarian osteopath, who has a gift of speaking with animals, said that Pilaf told her that she\u2019s a star and she\u2019s here to teach me a new way to walk, which I think she has.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, as Demi continues to dazzle audiences, and pick up all the awards, in her 63rd year &#8211; with her youthful inner circle, tiny dog, and collection of dolls in tow &#8211; we\u2019re told she\u2019s not feeling wistful about her younger years for a second. Instead, she\u2019s embracing the ageing process with childlike glee, while keeping herself in the best mental and physical shape she possibly can. Whether that includes welcoming a new man into her life (she\u2019s been officially single since divorcing her third ex-husband, Ashton Kutcher, in 2013) remains to be seen, but \u2013 like everything she does \u2013 we\u2019re told she\u2019s keeping an open mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe certainly gets attention from men of all ages,\u201d says our source. \u201cIf she wanted, she could have a twentysomething boyfriend on her arm. She prefers men in their mid to late thirties, that\u2019s her favourite age, and her daughters are all for her dating younger. They get it: most men Demi\u2019s age can\u2019t keep up with her. It does put a lot of pressure on her to look as young as she can, but she\u2019s smashing that challenge and looks truly phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dolls, mini dogs and dating younger?
