Demi Moore laid down the law on how to pronounce her name — and it turns out fans have had it wrong this whole time.
The movie star, 62, addressed the name debacle during an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in 2017; however, after her recent best actress win at the Golden Globes, the clip has resurfaced.
“I know a couple Demis,” Fallon, 50, told “The Substance” star at the time.
“Yes, and I know Demi also,” she responded, to which the late-night host perked up and asked, “Demi Lovato?”
“I do. I hear she’s one of your BFFs,” Moore replied before teasing, “and I felt very left out of that.”
Fallon then asked Moore if she wanted to be included in his inner circle. Locking fingers with the “Tonight Show” host, the mom of three quipped, “I’m so in!”
Moore then launched into a story, recalling a “great conversation” she had with Lovato.
Noting that the “Heart Attack” singer, 32, is from Texas and she’s from New Mexico, Moore said,
“Our families say our names the same, but we each individually pronounce it differently.”
The “Ghost” actress explained, “It works better with our last names.”
“Like, ‘Deh-mee Lovato’ sounds really good. And ‘Duh-mee’ Moore sounds really good,” she recalled.
Despite the interview taking place years ago, fans were floored by the name revelation.
“Demi Moore and Demi Lovato do not pronounce their names the same way btw you culturally bankrupt children need to know that,” one person wrote on X about the unearthed clip.
“Who else unknowingly pronounced both names exactly the same?” asked another.
“She’s so real for this,” a third stated. “Ever since I heard Demi Moore pronounce her name I’ve chosen to stan because how could you not?” added someone else.
Moore recently made headlines when she napped the best actress in a comedy or musical award at the 82nd annual Golden Globes for her role in “The Substance.”
The victory was her first major industry award despite her over 40-year career.
“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress,” Moore said during her acceptance speech, “and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have.”
Her family, including her three daughters — Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah — watched their mom’s big win from home, and their reaction to her victory was priceless.
The girls even joined Moore for the afterparty, snapping photos of their mom with her statue.
