Your support makes all the difference.With the treatment of co-stars at the forefront of Hollywood's mind as actors continue to reveal their experiences of workplace misconduct, interest has piqued in a video of Demi Moore repeatedly kissing a teenage boy.
Reportedly shot, according to the MailOnline, in 1982 when Moore was 19, it was aired by Entertainment Tonight and centres on the 15th birthday of her General Hospital co-star Philip Tanzini.
Posted on YouTube in 2012 and racking up over 6.5million views, the five-minute montage sees Moore initiate a kiss with Tanzini on three separate occasions (1:22, 1:49 and 4:36).
Moore professes her love for Tanzini throughout the video, saying: "I love Phillip and he's the only one I love... I love him dearly, he's one of my most favourite people... He's truly terrific and I really love him."
She also says, perhaps jokingly, that she intends to marry Tanzini, despite being married herself at the time, having wed her first husband, Freddy Moore, when she was 17.
Following the success of General Hospital, which still runs today with new cast members, Moore went on to enjoy a long and high profile career, while Tanzini never found fame, today providing voiceover work for TV shows and commercials.
The Independent has reached out to reps for both Moore and Tanzini for comment.
