Demi Moore showed off her age-defying looks as she recreated her iconic Striptease pose 28 years on. 

The actress, 61, seductively sat on a chair in nothing but a black blazer and satin knickers in a nod to 1996 movie. 

Starring in Interview magazine’s September issue, Demi and photographer Petra Collins took inspiration from the film for the photoshoot. 

Demi became the then-highest-paid actress in Hollywood when she received $12.5 million to lead the cast of Striptease.

The dark comedy starred the actress  as an FBI agent who finds herself without a job and resorts to stripping at a Miami club called the Eager Beaver.

Although the movie was derided by the critics, it managed to scrape together a respectable profit – thanks to the pull of Demi’s topless scenes.

In one famous scene, Demi swept her bra off while providing a private dance to a congressman played by Burt Reynolds.

Striptease director Andrew Bergman, who also co-wrote Blazing Saddles, remarked later that his movie with Demi ‘did better than almost anything I’ve been involved with. All the subsidiary stuff was gigantic.’

He told Entertainment Weekly with a laugh: ‘People said: “I wouldn’t be caught dead seeing it,” and suddenly when it’s available in a rental store, it’s: “I’ll get Schindler’s List and Striptease.” It’s like when you’re a kid and you’re buying condoms at a drug store, but you buy 12 tubes of toothpaste, too.’

However the movie was a critical bomb that dented Demi’s career, feeding into the criticism that she was flaunting her body to excess.

Prankster Paul Kaye, aka Dennis Pennis, approached Demi on a red carpet the year Striptease came out and asked: ‘Under any circumstances, if it wasn’t gratuitous and it was tastefully done, would you consider keeping your clothes on in a movie?’

Demi was unamused by the quip and walked off.

Demi posed for the publication to promote her edgy new movie The Substance about a star who injects herself with a black market drug to look younger.

The actress said she was ‘moved’ when she read the movie’s script.

Demi felt it was ‘such a unique way to be exploring this issue of aging, of societal conditioning, of what I also see as the pressure of the male-idealised woman that we as women have bought into.’

She continued, ‘At the core of it, what it’s really about is what we do to ourselves, and I loved that it was illustrated in such a physical way—showing that violence with what we do with our thoughts, how we attack ourselves and distort things,’ she said.

‘There’s great power in knowing that what we do to ourselves is a choice, and we can make a different choice. 

‘And for those who aren’t looking for such a deep message, it’s just entertaining.’
