The movie, inspired by Diamond\u2019s 1972 hit of the same name, struck a deeply personal chord with Moore, now 63, as it reminded her of what Willis once affectionately dubbed \u201cNeil Diamond Day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1531\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThis is a little personal thing, but Bruce always had every week, Neil Diamond Day,\u201d Moore told Hudson, 46, during the Q&amp;A. She explained that once a week, Willis would blast Neil Diamond\u2019s music throughout the house from morning to night. \u201cI\u2019d say, \u2018What\u2019s going on?\u2019 And he said, \u2018No, it\u2019s Neil Diamond Day,\u2019\u201d she recalled with a smile. According to Moore, this wasn\u2019t a fleeting phase \u2014 Willis \u201ckept on doing that for years,\u201d underscoring just how devoted a fan he was. \u201cHe was a huge Neil fan,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd so am I!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1886\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moore and Willis were married from 1987 until 2000 and share three daughters: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. Despite their divorce, the former couple have long been praised for maintaining a close, respectful relationship centered on family. That enduring bond was evident in Moore\u2019s warm recollection, as well as in her praise for <em data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1878\">Song Sung Blue<\/em> itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"2235\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The film stars Hudson alongside <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Hugh Jackman<\/span><\/span>, portraying real-life couple Mike and Claire Sardina, who fronted a Neil Diamond cover band called Lightning &amp; Thunder. Moore applauded the generosity and emotional openness of the performances, singling out Hudson, Jackman, and the young actors in the film as \u201cextraordinary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2518\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The intimate event was attended by several high-profile figures, including <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Leonardo DiCaprio<\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Al Pacino<\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Mark Ruffalo<\/span><\/span>, and director <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">David O. Russell<\/span><\/span>, adding to the evening\u2019s star power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2520\" data-end=\"2924\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Over the years, both Moore and Willis have spoken openly about their post-divorce friendship. In a 2000 interview, Willis famously said, \u201cI still love Demi. We\u2019re very close,\u201d emphasizing their lifelong commitment to raising their children together. That sense of unity has extended to Willis\u2019 later marriage to Emma Heming Willis, with Moore remaining part of what the actor once described as a \u201ctribe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2926\" data-end=\"3126\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Through a simple ritual centered on music, Moore\u2019s story offers a touching reminder that even after romantic relationships end, shared memories \u2014 and shared songs \u2014 can continue to resonate for years.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demi Moore is offering a rare and heartfelt glimpse into her early relationship with ex-husband Bruce Willis, recalling a quirky tradition that became a beloved part of their life together.
