When Demi Moore Taught Fans the Right Way to Say Her Name: ‘Duh-Me…’

by

In an effort to put an end to mispronunciations of her name, Demi Moore established the correct pronunciation in 2017. This issue reemerged as she received a significant award at the recent Golden Globe ceremony, drawing attention back to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where her name controversy initially occurred. (age: 62)

“I know a couple of Demis,” Fallon, 50, told The Substance star at the time.

Indeed, we share a connection with Demi Lovato,” I confirmed, igniting curiosity in the late-night host who then eagerly asked, “You’re talking about Demi Lovato?

Moore responded, “Yes, I do know her. She’s one of your closest friends.” Before playfully adding, “I must admit, I did feel a bit excluded from that friendship.

Later on, Fallon inquired whether Moore would like to join his close-knit group. In response, the mother of three playfully intertwined her fingers with his and said, “Absolutely, I’d love to!

Later on, Moore shared details about a chat she had with Lovato. Since the “Heart Attack” singer hails from Texas and Moore is from New Mexico, Moore pointed out that although their families call them by the same name, they personally pronounce it in unique ways.

The Ghost actress explained, “It works better with our last names.”

“Like, ‘Deh-mee Lovato’ sounds really good. And ‘Duh-mee Moore’ sounds really good,” she schooled.

Even though the interview occurred several years back, spectators were taken aback when they learned the two names were actually pronounced differently. Collectively, they expressed their surprise on platform X, stating they had been unaware of this distinction beforehand.

One fan wondered, “Who else accidentally uses the same pronunciation for both their names?” Another fan said, “Ever since I heard Demi Moore say her own name, I’ve become a fan because who wouldn’t be?

Moore garnered attention lately as she won the Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical category at the 82nd Golden Globes. This triumph was significant because it represented her first major accolade from the industry, despite having worked in show business for over four decades.

In her heartfelt acceptance speech, the actress reminisced about a time thirty years ago when a producer labeled her as a “popcorn actress,” making her believe that she would never receive an award for her acting talents.

Moore’s three daughters, Rumer (age 36), Scout (age 33), and Tallulah (age 30) cheered on their mom as she received a major award from home. They expressed their joy through heartfelt posts on their individual social media platforms. In fact, the trio attended the after-party with their mother, taking pictures of her holding her award statue.
