Demi Moore’s Confusing Introduction of Cher at the 2024 amfAR Gala Cannes Has Fans Raising Eyebrows
On May 23, actors, singers, models and much more joined at the annual star-studded amfAR Gala at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. And while the Gala’s biggest goal is to raise funds for groundbreaking AIDS research, having Demi Moore as host and Cher perform might’ve definitely made some attendees RSVP “yes” right away.
But as a new video from Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh shows (see it HERE!), Moore’s hosting abilities weren’t as much crowd-pleaser as we expected. In the clip, the actress can be seen presenting Cher before she takes the stage.

“I’m gonna see if this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for,” Moore said in a gorgeous silver shimmering dress. “I’m just making sure that you’re really, really with me.”
And while her words indicate that she wanted the crowd to get hyped and make some noise, her delivery was quite the opposite. In fact, Moore said everything slowly, and quietly, almost like she wanted the whole room to quiet down instead.
“Because this incredible woman that I’m about to introduce she’s a Grammy winner, an Oscar winner, an Emmy winner,” Moore continued.
Then, someone in the crowd shouts something and Moore pauses her sentence, per Page Six. “Are you an Emmy winner over there in the back of the room?” Moore told the heckler. “I f— don’t think so.” Moore certainly wasn’t playing around…
After addressing the heckler, Moore continued her introduction.
“She’s a style icon and my personal hair inspiration,” Moore said, swaying her long black hair. “And she was honored by amfAR for their award of inspiration in 2015.”
“The bottom line is she is just one of the most talented, successful, and best-loved performers of all time, so please,” she said, taking another long pause. “Please give a warm welcome to the incredible, one and only, Cher.”
In the comments of Setoodeh’s video, fans are already raising eyebrows and questioning her energy. After all, why does she feel so calm and quiet when she’s supposed to hype everyone as the host?
“Why did she keep pausing like that? What a weird way to introduce Cher?” wrote one X user. “Demi Moore making it about her,” another wrote. “Just make the introduction minus your arrogance.”
Looks like Moore won’t be adding “host” to resume anytime soon.
