From Maestro to A Very Royal Scandal, I’ve seen my fair share of wild on-screen transformations. But I must say, I’ve never seen anything quite like Demi Moore’s evolution for The Substance.
This week, the 61-year-old actress celebrated Halloween by sharing a slideshow on Instagram featuring never-before-seen photos that were taken on the set of her horror film, The Substance.
The first photo shows a closeup of her facial prosthetics that are so realistic, Moore is practically unrecognizable. The next two photos are NSFW, as they feature her unclothed prosthetic torso, complete with saggy private areas.
The caption read, “Spoiler alert [siren emoji]. Been holding onto these gems from @trythesubstance and today feels like an appropriate day to share them. Happy Halloween from Elisabeth Sparkle. THE SUBSTANCE is officially streaming today on @mubi!”
Followers filled the comments section with messages about Moore’s wild transformation. One person wrote, “You win.” Another added, “This exists at the intersection of Suspiria and the Six Flags Dancing Guy. Happy Halloween.” Someone even said what I was thinking: “The only BEST LEADING ACTRESS possible this year.”
In The Substance, Moore portrays a washed-up celebrity who is trying to make a comeback after getting fired. She encounters a black-market drug that’s supposed to transform her into an enhanced version of herself. But at what cost?
In addition to Moore, The Substance also stars Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, Hugo Diego Garcia, Oscar Lesage and Tiffany Hofstetter. Although it originally premiered in theaters on September 20, it’s now available to stream on Prime Video and Mubi.
