Demi Moore
Never shy about flaunting her bikini body, Demi Moore, had long been regarded as Hollywood's most age-defying beauty.
But as the actress approaches her 50th birthday – and her marriage to Ashton Kutcher, 33, began to crumble – several sources tell WHO in this week’s cover story that the 49-year-old battled deep feelings of insecurities. In fact, sources say that the star was practically starving herself and partying wildly before her drug-fueled breakdown.
"As Demi got older, she convinced herself that she needed to stay young and skinny to remain attractive to her husband," says a source who knows the former couple. "She needed reassurance all the time that she was hot and sexy."

Tormented by insecurities about her body and age, sources also say Moore's worsening drug use – notably of prescription drugs – largely contributed to the end of her marriage. “The drug abuse was a sticking point,” says a source close to the couple. "Ashton wanted her to take care of herself and get a hold of things, and she wouldn't."

pitied and looked down upon as passed it but as someone who contributed to our world just by being in it. We need to stop all this youth obession...as youth is a pasing fancy. I know when you ae young with lovely suple skin you automatically look good. At workplaces I know the young ones get the job and attention, but think of the older woman who have done wonderful things, too, and give them credit for their looks as time is showing and shining there.
ReplyIt's true we all have to grow old even though we don't want to. I know and to be honest it's not pleasant but that' life. We are in a VERY agae-conscious world now than we were when i was young. When I was young i made friend with an 80 year old woman and to be honest I NEVER though of her as OLD and i never noticed her wrinkles or anything. All I remember to this day is the chats we had and how interesting she was..........to this day I can remember her not as an OLD woman to be pitied or looked down upon but as a truely fascinating woman who contributed to our world just by being in it!
