Demi Moore had one specific request before filming her famous bikini scene in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, the 62-year-old actress revealed that she learned about the scene only three weeks before filming.

She Didn’t Want the Camera on Her Backside

While recalling the moment, Moore told Barrymore, “All I remember is begging them not to shoot my butt. I don’t know why that was my obsession.” Notably, Barrymore co-starred in the film with Moore, along with Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.

She Had Little Time to Prepare

Demi Moore explained that director Joseph McGinty Nichol, also known as McG, called her just three and a half weeks before the shoot. Therefore, she had no time to overthink. “You know, he called me to start shooting [in] three-and-a-half weeks,” Moore said. As a result, she didn’t focus on her appearance. “And I had no time to think about what I looked like, which was almost better,” she added.

Barrymore Admired Her Effort

After hearing this, Barrymore expressed her amazement. “No one can do in three weeks what you showed up with. So you were clearly good to go,” she told Moore. Moreover, she said, “Like there's no magic wand that gets you to that in three weeks. I've done a three-week diet. I didn't end up there.”

The Scene Gained Unexpected Attention

Meanwhile, Moore admitted she didn’t expect the bikini scene to get so much public attention. “I was not prepared for the focus that happened from it,” she explained. She had just turned 40 while filming. “I had no idea the amplification, ironically, that was specifically tied to my age,” she said.
