\n\tDemi Moore said during an interview at The New Yorker Festival (via People) that she felt Tom Cruise was \u201cquite embarrassed\u201d by her pregnancy when they were rehearsing together for 1992\u2019s \u201cA Few Good Men,\u201d Rob Reiner\u2019s film adaptation of Aaron Sorkin\u2019s play about two U.S. Marines charged with the murder of another soldier. Moore was eight months pregnant with her second child, Scout Willis, when she started rehearsing lines with Cruise and Reiner ahead of production.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI think Tom was quite embarrassed,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI actually felt okay about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAs reported by People: \u201cMoore explained that she thinks Cruise may have potentially been uncomfortable given that not many of their Hollywood peers were having children at the time, due to what she said was the pressure to choose between pursuing a career and being a mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s one of the many things, for me, that I just felt didn\u2019t make sense,\u201d Moore said about the stigma around moms in Hollywood. \u201cAnd so I challenged that to say, you know, \u2018Why not? Why can\u2019t you have both?\u2019 But with that, I think, came a lot of pressure I put on myself to, in a sense, prove that it was possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMoore said she became \u201ca bit of an overachiever\u201d in this regard, adding: \u201cI look back at that time now, and I go, \u2018What the fuck was I thinking?\u2019 And what was I even trying to prove? But it wasn\u2019t as supported as it is today. You know, to be breastfeeding and then blocking and rehearsing a scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter giving birth to her daughter, Moore then applied additional pressure on herself to get in shape for the movie. She explained: \u201cI was going to be in a military uniform, and probably overly anticipated and started working out and trying to get in shape even before she was born. I did a two-and-a-half-hour hike the day my water broke. I did a 24-mile bike ride, and then was dancing at a reggae club \u2014 hence why she came two-and-a-half weeks early.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMoore noted that mothers are much more \u201csupported\u201d on Hollywood film sets nowadays \u2014 a needed course correction for the industry.
