Demi Moore Reveals tom Cruise Was ‘Embarrassed’ by Her Pregnancy During ‘A Few Good Men’ rehearsals
LOS ANGELES – Demi Moore has revealed that Tom Cruise appeared “embarrassed” by her growing pregnancy during rehearsals for their 1992 courtroom drama, A Few Good Men. The revelation comes from a recent discussion at the British Film Institute, where Cruise reminisced about working with jack Nicholson on the film.
moore, who was married to Bruce Willis at the time and expecting their second daughter Scout, shared that Cruise seemed uncomfortable with the physical changes she was undergoing. “I think he was embarrassed by me being pregnant,” Moore said, recalling the intensity of preparing for the film’s pivotal courtroom scenes. “He didn’t know how to deal with it.” The anecdote offers a new perspective on the dynamic between the two stars during the production of a now-iconic film, and sheds light on the challenges faced by pregnant actors in Hollywood.
The film, which earned four oscar nominations, is best known for its electrifying confrontations between Cruise and Nicholson, culminating in Nicholson’s famous declaration, “You can’t handle the truth.” Cruise recently described the experience of acting opposite Nicholson as “magnificent,” praising his skill with dialog and generosity as a scene partner.
Despite Cruise’s reported discomfort, Moore continued to participate fully in rehearsals, navigating the physical demands of pregnancy alongside the rigorous readiness for her role. Moore and Willis ultimately welcomed Scout in 1991. The couple later had a third daughter, Tallulah, in 1994, before divorcing in 2000.
