A video of actress Demi Moore kissing a 15-year-old boy has resurfaced and left viewers disturbed.
The video, from 1982, shows the then 19-year-old Moore plant multiple kisses on General Hospital co-star Philip Tanzini.
The footage was originally unearthed by Entertainment Tonight and began to recirculate on social media as viewers were concerned due to the age difference between the two actors.

At the time, Moore was married to Freddy Moore and the pair even joked they will get married and hope her husband doesn’t find out.
At one point in the video, Moore 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 X 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 X 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."
UNILAD has contacted a representative for Demi Moore for comment.
