Demi Moore Implies That the Producer Who Called Her 'a Popcorn Actress' Is Dead: He's 'Rolling Over in His Grave'

Demi Moore is dropping a clue about the unnamed producer who called her "a popcorn actress."

In her Golden Globe Awards acceptance speech on Jan. 5, Moore, 62, referenced a man who she said dismissed her career's potential. On the Wednesday, Feb. 5 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Substance actress opened up about what his comments meant to her at the time.

"What somebody else does or doesn't do is irrelevant. How you hold it is everything," she began. "And while I may have taken it as he intended it, it's what I made it mean about me. It's that I made it mean that somehow I wasn't ever going to be somebody that could be acknowledged in that kind of arena or platform, that I couldn't win awards... But he didn't do that. He just said the words. So that's the difference."

When Kimmel asked Moore whether she thought the unnamed producer heard her speech, she said, "He may have been rolling over in his grave."
