Demi Moore has reportedly become despondent over the path her acting career has taken in the last 18 months. The Striptease star has increasingly grown dependent on prescription medication to deal with her anxiety and depression.

The 49-year-old actress “is very, very unhappy with her acting career. Demi is despondent because she feels that her career has stalled. It’s been a very long time since Demi was the marquee star that would open a movie,” RadarOnline quoted a source as saying.

“One of the reasons that Demi is obsessed with being young is that she feels if she is seen out with her daughter and Rumer’s friends that might help increase her chances of being offered a role that might go to a younger actress,” the source added.

The brunette beauty, who announced split from husband Ashton Kutcher in November amid speculation he had cheated on her, finished filming her latest movie ‘LOL’ last year.

Sources claim that Moore doesn’t have “any future projects lined up.”

Following her hospitalisation last week, Moore was forced to opt out of  Linda Lovelace biopic and she has since been replaced by Sarah Jessica Parker.
