Demi Moore recently shared a personal memory from her early years with actor Bruce Willis. The moment came up during a relaxed conversation at a private film event in Los Angeles, where Moore spoke openly
about a habit that once brought joy into their home.
The memory surfaced while Moore was talking about music and films that carry emotional meaning. What started as a discussion about a movie soon turned into a warm story from her past, reminding her of a routine that stayed with her long after it began.
A Song That Brought Back Old Memories
While attending a Q&A session with Kate Hudson at a special screening of Song Sung Blue on January 7, Demi Moore spoke about how the film connected to her own life. The 63-year-old actor explained that the movie reminded her of a tradition Bruce Willis followed for years during their marriage.
“This is a little personal thing, but Bruce always had every week, Neil Diamond Day,” Moore told Hudson.
The song Song Sung Blue, released by Neil Diamond in 1972, inspired the film’s title. The movie stars Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman as a real-life couple who ran a Neil Diamond cover band.
Moore recalled how Willis would play Neil Diamond’s music loudly throughout the day. “Watching the movie just kept reminding me of when he would blast Neil Diamond, and I’d say, ‘What’s going on?’ ” she said.
According to Moore, Willis always had the same answer. “And he said, ‘No, it’s Neil Diamond Day.’ ” She added that this was not a one-time thing. “He played Neil throughout the day. He kept on doing that for years. He was a huge Neil fan. And so am I!”
