Demi Moore reveals Tom Cruise’s ‘awkward’ reaction to her pregnancy

Demi Moore recalled Tom Cruise being “embarrassed” when she announced her pregnancy during the production of the 1992 thriller A Few Good Men.

On Saturday, October 25, while speaking during the Q&A session with Jia Tolentino at the New Yorker Festival, the '90s screen siren looked back on her experience working on the film.

Moore shared that when she began reading the script with director Rob Reiner and co-star Cruise, she was nearly eight months pregnant with her second child, Scout Willis.

“I think Tom was quite embarrassed,” Moore recalled. “I actually felt okay about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward.”

The Emmy-nominated actress explained that she believes the Mission: Impossible star was perhaps uncomfortable, as many of their Hollywood peers were not having children at that time.

Moore noted that, back in the ‘90s, actors often faced pressure to choose between pursuing a career and being a parent.

“It's one of the many things, for me, that just felt didn’t make sense. And so I challenged that, saying, ‘Why not? Why can’t you have both?’” she said. “But with that, I think, came a lot of pressure I put on myself to, in a sense, prove that it was possible.”

A Few Good Men, adapted from Aaron Sorkin’s 1989 stage play, centres on two U.S. Marines accused of killing a fellow soldier.
