Demi Moore uses leeches to keep her looking young and sexy
Demi Moore, 45, revealed to David Letterman that her secret to looking sexy at her age was leeches.
Moore said that she recently took a trip to Australia for a cleansing, and the treatment included leech therapy.
Moore said "the highly trained medical leeches" were first placed in her belly button.
"You feel [them] bite down on you, and you want to go, 'You bastard!' and then you relax and watch it swell up," she said. "They have a little enzyme that when they are biting down in you, it gets released in your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit – and your health is optimized," she added.
"It detoxifies your blood – I'm feeling very detoxified right now."
Though she said it first feels "worse then feels better," she plans on "going back – I only got 4 leeches and I feel a bit cheated."
Joked Letterman: "Are you sure this isn't just menopause?"
Um, this is so gross. Every time I hear the word "leech" I think of the movie Stand By Me and the scene where the boys run through the gross pond and end up having leeches all over themselves, even down their pants. I had nightmares for a long time because of that scene. So I definitely couldn't imagine to willingly put leeches on my body. No thank you. I'll take growing old, looking like a hag any day.
