Demi Moore, 61, demonstrates that she hasn’t aged at all by doing her famous striрtеаse posture 28 years later
Demi Moore showed off her age-defying looks as she recreated her iconic Striptease pose 28 years on.
The actress, 61, seductively sat on a chair in nothing but a black blazer and satin knickers in a nod to the 1996 movie.
Starring in Interview magazine’s September issue, Demi and photographer Petra Collins took inspiration from the film for the photoshoot.
Demi became the then-highest-paid actress in Hollywood when she received $12.5 million to lead the cast of Striptease.
The dark comedy starred the actress as an FBI agent who finds herself without a job and resorts to stripping at a Miami club called the Eager Beaver.
Although the movie was derided by the critics, it managed to scrape together a respectable profit — thanks to the pull of Demi’s topless scenes.
In one famous scene, Demi swept her bra off while providing a private dance to a congressman played by Burt Reynolds.
Striptease director Andrew Bergman, who also co-wrote Blazing Saddles, remarked later that his movie with Demi ‘did better than almost anything I’ve been involved with. All the subsidiary stuff was gigantic.’
He told Entertainment Weekly with a laugh: ‘People said: «I wouldn’t be caught dead seeing it,» and suddenly when it’s available in a rental store, it’s:
«I’ll get Schindler’s List and Striptease.» It’s like when you’re a kid, and you’re buying condoms at a drug store, but you buy 12 tubes of toothpaste, too.’
However, the movie was a critical bomb that dented Demi’s career, feeding into the criticism that she was flaunting her body to excess.
Prankster Paul Kaye, aka Dennis Pennis, approached Demi on a red carpet the year Striptease came out and asked:
‘Under any circumstances, if it wasn’t gratuitous, and it was tastefully done, would you consider keeping your clothes on in a movie?’
Demi was unamused by the quip and walked off.
