Demi had an incredible comeback year in 2024, which was topped off with a first Golden Globe win.

The actress, who was one of the go-to movie stars in the 1990s, made her unexpected return to the movie scene last year with the gory slasher horror The Substance.

Her renaissance comes after the relative flops of films like Striptease in 1996 and GI Jane in 1997, which meant that her blockbuster roles quickly became fewer and fewer at the turn of the century.

Demi revealed in her tearful acceptance speech at the Golden Globes that she was called a “popcorn actress” 30 years ago – a comment that “affected” her.

While accepting the honor for Best Actress – Comedy or Musical, she said, “30 years ago I had a producer tell me I was a popcorn actress.

‘At the time I meant that this wasn’t something I was allowed to have, that I could make films that were successful, that made a lot of money, but I couldn’t be recognised.

“I bought into it, and I believed that, and that has affected me over time, to the point where a few years ago I thought maybe this was it – maybe I was complete, maybe I did what I had to do. ‘

It was at that “low point,” Demi said, that she received the script for The Substance, which she called “magical, daring, courageous, out-of-the-box (and) absolutely crazy.” “The universe told me you’re not ready yet,” she added.

Her daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, were left emotional after their mother scooped her first major acting award since starting her career in the 1980s.

After taking the stage, Demi was greeted with applause from the celebrity guests and admitted: “Wow, I really didn’t expect that.”

‘I’m just in shock right now. I’ve been doing this for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.’

“I’m just so humbled and so grateful.”

Demi has been nominated for a total of four Golden Globes so far in her career, winning her first earlier this month. She has also collected Emmy and SAG Award nods over the years.
