The Charlie’s Angels cast has pulled their forces together again. The last time they encountered Demi Moore in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, they tried to stop her. Now, they are throwing their full support behind her as Moore gets her first Academy Award nomination for The Substance. Variety reports that Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore have reunited with Moore for a video on Vanity Fair where the actresses reconnect and champion the Best Actress nomination that Moore has received for her role in the body horror film.
This video would be the first time the cast of the Charlie’s Angels sequel has come together since Liu received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in 2019. In the Vanity Fair video, Liu tells Moore, “I think I can speak for all of us—we are so proud of you. This performance, you’ve always had it in you and in all of the work that you’ve done. There’s so much vulnerability in the strength that you are able to put on camera.” She continues, “That moment of you taking the makeup off, to reveal the psychological toll of this kind of unattainable pressure from society of what beauty is and what aging is or what is commercial. It was done in a way where you really captured that rawness: that feeling of being insecure but also comfortable with yourself, but then realizing that other people aren’t comfortable with yourself.”
Diaz would contribute her accolades on Moore, saying, “All women, we are conditioned to be objectified—period. Whether we are movie stars [or not], it’s just every woman. Obviously it’s more extreme in our circumstances, because we’re projected onto a screen and literally objectified. We’ve had dolls made out of us. It’s just so innate. It’s so ingrained in us. We bow down to that. We serve that objectification. We try to meet its request in so many ways.” Diaz would continue to say, “In watching you give this performance, you don’t have to ask anybody’s permission. It’s as if there was a constitution written in the film industry that laid out what the film industry was, and everybody has been abiding by it for the last however many decades. Y’all went in and just shredded it to pieces and said, I do not agree with this constitution. We are rewriting this. And not only that, but we’re going to in the most audacious, violent, crazy way that you could possibly do it.”
