Hollywood legend Demi Moore is taking on an even less likely but ubiquitous subject—passing gas!
The iconic actress from Ghost, G.I. Jane, and Indecent Proposal megahits is on a mission today to end the stigma surrounding the all-too-ordinary human function of flatulence in the guise of a brand new how-to guidebook.
For years, farting has been considered taboo, something to be laughed at or avoided. But Moore is trying to break that.
In her latest project, she is approaching it in a humorous but educational manner to get people to understand that farting is simply a part of being human.
The actress, always the bold individual, believes openly talking about these matters can eliminate shame and embarrassment around them. Her book of answers puts readers at ease with natural bodily functions, with self-acceptance and humor.
Moore’s book is more than a collection of fart jokes—it also explores scientific facts, history, and cultural sentiments toward farting.
The book contains:
Why We Fart: A straightforward overview of digestion and how gas is created. It also explains the chemistry behind the odors and noises—what determines why farts happen.
Another interesting information the book contains is how far will a fart go? – From an NBC News article, farts can travel an amazing 10 feet per second when let out!
Flammable farts? – When gas contains hydrogen and methane in it, then yes, it can actually be flammable (though one shouldn’t really test it).
Farting down the ages—The oldest recorded fart joke was in 1900 BC and states, “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.” It seems fart jokes have been around for thousands of years!
Funny and embarrassing fart stories—because each and every one of us has one!
The book is organized to be part education, entertainment, and so is the perfect read for people who love fun facts and humor.
Not surprisingly, the internet has gone crazy reacting to Moore’s unexpected new venture. Many fans are commending her for turning something so mundane but seldom talked about “normal.”
Here is what one social media participant put up:
“Leave it to Demi Moore to make farting sexy! Love this!”
Another wrote:
“Finally, a book that confesses to what we all do but won’t admit. Can’t wait to read it!”
Even other celebrities have chimed in, some jokingly confessing they’d like to work on a sequel or share their own silly fart stories.
Though it seems to be just a tongue-in-cheek and lighthearted venture, Moore’s book actually speaks to something greater than that—shame and body positivity. Many people, especially women, are encouraged to hide natural bodily processes to appear more “perfect.”
In using humor and honesty on the subject, Moore is combating unattainable social expectations and encouraging people to embrace their bodies without shame.
At age 61, the actress continues to surprise her fans with provocative and unconventional roles, proving she is never reluctant to step outside the box—even if it is talking about gas!
