In “The Substance,” Moore played a character fired from her fitness show at age 50 for being deemed too old. She then turns to a wonder drug that transforms her into a younger version of herself, portrayed by Margaret Qualley, at a price.

“At that time, I interpreted that as a sign that I didn’t deserve recognition, and that belief damaged me over time,” Moore reflected.
“A few years ago, I thought I was finished. But then I came across this crazy script. The universe showed me I still have more to do,” Moore added before leaving the stage.
Moore recounted being advised by a woman to stop comparing herself to others and to recognize her own worth without measuring up to external standards.
