Move over, Sexiest Man Alive—People magazine has named its 2025 World’s Most Beautiful Person, and the honor goes to none other than Demi Moore, proving beauty really can evolve with age.

At 62, Moore isn’t just being celebrated for her timeless looks—she’s also opening up about the journey behind them. In her People cover interview, the actress reflects on how her relationship with her body has transformed over the years, from one of punishment to one of peace.

“I was so harsh and had a much more antagonistic relationship with my body,” Moore admits. “And straight up, I was really just punishing myself.”

That mindset, she says, is behind her.

Now, she describes her approach as more “intuitive” and “relaxed.” “I trust when [my body] tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty. I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear.” In her younger years, Moore says she often felt like her body was working against her.

“I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it,” she says.

“Now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship.”

The iconic actress, known for roles in Ghost, G.I. Jane, and Indecent Proposal, is also refreshingly honest about her imperfections. “I’m not perfect,” she says. “I still do drink Red Bull. I do love it. But not many. One.”

Moore’s new title is more than a nod to her physical appearance—it’s recognition of a woman who’s redefined what beauty looks like at every stage of life. And in 2025, that means confidence, authenticity, and, apparently, the occasional energy drink.

A seasoned chef is taking the internet by storm with a viral video packed with simple yet surprisingly effective kitchen hacks. With millions of views on YouTube, it’s clear his decades of experience in the restaurant industry have struck a chord with home cooks eager to elevate their culinary game.

In the video, chef Joshua Weismann shares practical tips that balance food science with a dash of professional know-how. From produce prep to perfecting texture, here are some of the standout tricks viewers are loving:

Prolong produce life with vinegar

If your fruits and veggies tend to spoil too quickly, try this trick. Soaking them in a mixture of three parts water to one part vinegar for a couple of minutes can help extend their shelf life significantly.

Unlock herb flavor with a squeeze

Before adding fresh herbs to your dishes, bruise them slightly by squeezing. This releases essential oils and intensifies their flavor, making your food more aromatic and complex.

Masher over spoon for better beef

Forget the fork. When browning ground beef, using a potato masher instead can break the meat into finer, more even pieces, which is ideal for tacos, sauces, or casseroles.

Season like a pro

Channel your inner Salt Bae—sprinkle seasoning from a higher distance to achieve more even coverage across meats and other foods.

Freeze your cheese

Soft cheeses like mozzarella or gouda are notoriously difficult to grate. The fix? Freeze them for 15 to 30 minutes beforehand for perfect crumbles every time.

Better biscuits need big butter

For light and fluffy biscuits, skip the small bits of butter and go with bigger chunks. They create pockets of steam while baking, boosting rise and flakiness.

Thickening soup made easy

Accidentally added too much broth? No problem. Toss in some breadcrumbs to soak up the excess liquid and add body to your soup.

While many online food tips come and go, these hacks are resonating because they’re grounded in everyday practicality—something only a lifetime in professional kitchens can teach. The chef’s casual delivery and clear explanations have made the video as entertaining as it is educational, drawing praise from amateur cooks and culinary veterans alike.
