Footage of Demi Moore kissing a 15-year-old boy has resurfaced online, and once again it's left people horrified.
This is not your peck-on-the-cheek affair. The clip shows the G.I. Jane star repeatedly kissing him on the lips, despite the obvious age difference between the two.
The footage was originally unearthed by Entertainment Tonight, showing Moore, who was 19 years old at the time, at the 15th birthday party of her General Hospital co-star Philip Tanzini.
At one point in the video, the actor – who was married to Freddy Moore at the time – turns towards Tanzini so their faces are level before locking lips with him.

The pair only stop when a singer launches into a rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which seems to distract Moore.
Later on they are being interviewed while sat at a table, and once again she leans in for a kiss despite the fact that there's a young child wedged between them.
She then tells the interviewer, "He's one of my favourite people ever," before adding, "I love Philip."
At the end of the segment, Philip jokes, "We're going to get married by the way, don't let her husband find out," as Moore exclaims, "I can't wait."

When the footage emerged online several years back, viewers described her actions as 'creepy' and 'disturbing'.
And many feel much the same after it was shared by Twitter user @BernieSpofforth this week, who wrote: "Hidden in plain sight. Demi Moore kissing a 15 year old boy. Because she could."
Although some men joked that they'd be stoked to kiss a famous actor at that age, users were quick to point out that this viewpoint would not be the same if they switched genders.

"If she was a man and that was a 15 year old girl what would you think?" asked the Twitter user.
Another commenter said: "This kiss wasn’t a quick peck on the cheek, or even the lips. It wasn’t a one-time thing, either.
"And I really don’t care that it was from a woman, let alone Demi Moore. It’s disturbing — at the very least, extremely uncomfortable."
A third added: "Been reading these responses and some err on the ‘good on you boy’, but why wouldn’t you question why an older actress is properly kissing a 15 year old school boy?

"Those are real kisses and not a quick peck on the lips. Too weird. Ask questions always."
"To my feeling something about this is still just a bit weird. This 15 year old kid looks even younger… but who knows," commented a fourth.
"Of course young males (including me when I was that age) fantasise about older women, but this doesn’t change that it’s a kid being kissed by an adult."

And a fifth said: "That's kiss seemed way too intimate and long to me. Gave me the creeps."
UNILAD has contacted a representative for Demi Moore for comment.
