Demi Moore says Tom Cruise was ‘embarrassed’ by her pregnancy during ‘A Few Good Men’ filming

Demi Moore said her “A Few Good Men” co-star Tom Cruise was “embarrassed” about her being heavily pregnant while working on the 1992 legal drama.

During a Q&A at the New Yorker Festival on Saturday, the actress shared she was almost eight months pregnant with her now 34-year-old daughter, Scout, when she first ran lines with Cruise and director Rob Reiner before filming.

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

The “Substance” star, 62, mused that Cruise, 63, was also uncomfortable because few actresses at the time were having children due to the pressures of choosing between being a mother and having a career.

“It’s one of the many things, for me, that I just felt didn’t make sense,” she said of the choice women face. “And so I challenged that to say, you know, ‘Why not? Why can’t you have both?’”

“But with that, I think, came a lot of pressure I put on myself to, in a sense, prove that it was possible,” she continued.

Moore said she was especially hard on herself when it came to being in shape for the film — in which she played a lawyer in the Navy’s Internal Affairs Department — and started working out even before giving birth to Scout.

“I 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,” Moore said.

“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 — hence why she came two-and-a-half weeks early,” she continued.

Cruise’s rep didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Moore has three daughters with her ex-husband, Bruce Willis: Scout as well as Rumer, 37, and Tallulah, 31.

She famously posed nude while seven months pregnant with Scout — who was born in July 1991 — for the August 1991 cover of Vanity Fair, shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The actress has been candid about dealing with body insecurities over the years, including during her iconic bikini scene in “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”

“All I remember is begging them not to shoot my butt. I don’t know why that was my obsession,” she told one of her co-stars on the 2003 film, Drew Barrymore, on the latter’s talk show in May.

Moore shot the scene when she was 40, and received a lot of attention for her fit physique.

She admitted that she “wasn’t prepared for the focus that happened” from the scene, adding, “I had no idea the amplification, ironically, that was specifically tied to my age.”
