Demi Moore at Flawless - UK Charity Premiere held at the Odeon Covent Garden, London, England - 261108

The Ghost star spent hours getting in shape for tough roles in action films such as 1997's G.I. Jane and Charlie's Angles: Full Throttle in 2003.

But she soon realised she was working herself towards an early grave and has now ditched the intense exercise regime in favour of a more relaxing workout.

She tells Britain's Hello magazine, "I must admit that I did nearly kill myself years ago, but I've not had that kind of time for quite a while. There was a time when I took on several film roles that made it absolutely necessary for me to be buff, but I took it a bit too far I think.

"I used to love running, but I have replaced that with brisk walking - it's less impact on the bones. I also do Pilates to stretch and elongate the muscles, and some light weights. I don't kill myself any more."
