Demi Moore Biked 60 Miles to ‘Indecent Proposal’ Set and Back Home to Lose Weight for Filming: ‘What I Did to My Body Is So Crazy and Ridiculous’

Demi Moore revealed in an interview on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” that she biked around 60 miles each day during the filming of her 1993 erotic thriller “Indecent Proposal” in order to lose weight for the shoot after giving birth to her daughter Scout Willis. The movie, directed by Adrian Lyne and co-starring Robert Redford, shot in 1992. Scout was born the year prior.

“I put so much pressure on myself,” Moore said. “And I did have experiences of being told to lose weight and all of those. While they may have been embarrassing and humiliating, it’s what I did to myself because of that.”

Moore was living in Malibu at the time “Indecent Proposal” was filming at the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood. She decided to ride her bike to and from set each day to lose weight, which totaled around 60 miles each day.

“I think [Scout] was, like, five or six months old when we were shooting,” Moore said. “I was feeding her through the night, getting up in the dark with a trainer with a headlamp, biking all the way to Paramount, even on location where we were shooting, then shooting a full day which is usually a 12-hour day and then starting all over again.”

“Even just the idea of what I did to my body it’s like so crazy, so ridiculous,” she added. “But you look back and you kind of go, ‘Did it really matter that much?’ Probably not but at the time I made it mean everything.”

Moore has been making the press rounds in support of her new film, “The Substance,” which won the best screenplay prize at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. She starred in “Indecent Proposal” as a woman whose marriage is tested when a stranger offers them a million dollars to spend one night with her. Woody Harrelson co-starred in the film, which was the sixth highest-grossing movie of 1993 with $266 million worldwide despite mostly negative reviews.
