Demi Moore believes Tom Cruise was \u201ca bit awkard\u201d about her being pregnant while the pair were preparing to shoot A Few Good Men.<\/a><\/p>\n

In Rob Reiner\u2019s 1992 classic, Moore played Navy lawyer Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway, who teams up with Tom Cruise\u2019s Lt. Daniel Kaffee to defend two Marines accused of murder at Guantanamo Bay.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Saturday Q&A for the New Yorker Festival, the 62-year-old actor recalled being eight months pregnant<\/a> when she began reading lines for the film alongside Cruise, 63.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Tom was quite embarrassed,\u201d Moore \u2014 who was pregnant at the time with her second child, Scout Willis \u2014 recalled, according to People<\/a>. \u201cI actually felt okay about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Independent has contacted Cruise\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

Moore explained that at the time, it was very rare to have a pregnant actor on set. She also admitted she may have overstretched herself trying to prove she could juggle motherhood and her career at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look back at that time now, and I go, \u2018What the f*** was I thinking?\u2019 And what was I even trying to prove? But it wasn\u2019t as supported as it is today,\u201d The Substance star said. \u201cYou know, to be breastfeeding and then blocking and rehearsing a scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that she went to extreme lengths to get into peak physical condition for the film right before giving birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going to be in a military uniform, and probably overly anticipated and started working out and trying to get in shape even before she was born,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did a two-and-a-half-hour hike the day my water broke. I did a 24-mile bike ride, and then was dancing at a reggae club \u2014 hence why she came two-and-a-half weeks early.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore was married to Die Hard actor Bruce Willis between 1987 and 2000 and welcomed their three daughters during that time: Rumer (36), Scout (34), and Tallulah (31).<\/p>\n

Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson starred in \u2018A Few Good Men\u2019 (Columbia Pictures)<\/p>\n

During a talk at the British Film Institute earlier this year<\/a>, Cruise remembered starring in A Few Good Men, which earned four Oscar nominations, opposite Jack Nicholson.<\/p>\n

The film is probably most fondly remembered for the intense court debates between Cruise and Nicholson, with the latter uttering the now-famous line: \u201cYou can\u2019t handle the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were kind of surrounding and filling the rafters around just to, just to watch Nicholson and I go at it,\u201d Cruise remembered of the court scenes. \u201cIt was magnificent to watch him and see what a wordsmith he is, you know, like a great crooner.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u200aTo see him carve up the dialogue and make it his own, find his own stillness. He\u2019s very generous, an actor\u2019s actor. He is off camera the whole time, just feeding, feeding me and very supportive. He\u2019d be like, \u2018That was a good take, Tommy, nice work, Tommy.\u2019 He\u2019s just really lovely and he just loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-254103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
