Keke Palmer has voiced her astonishment at working alongside veteran actress Demi Moore in the recently premiered crime comedy, 'I Love Boosters'. The event, held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, May 13th, 2026, saw Palmer express her disbelief, stating, "I can't tell you how many times I was up with my mom when she was crying to Ghost, so it's kind of insane to be working with her." This sentiment highlights a deep personal connection to Moore's iconic 1990 film, 'Ghost', a viewing staple during Palmer's childhood.
The film, set against the backdrop of the notoriously competitive fashion industry, reportedly draws parallels to Palmer's own early career. She noted similarities between her role in 'I Love Boosters' and her breakthrough performance as the teenage Vice President of a fashion firm in the Nickelodeon sitcom 'True Jackson, VP'. Palmer’s character in the new film, Corvette, leads a group of shoplifters targeting billionaire fashion designer Christie Smith, played by Moore.

Palmer elaborated on the movie's themes, observing, "It's always good to step into the fashion vibe; I love this (movie) because it really kind of exposes what we already know about fashion but just really putting attention back on the culture; all these people that are setting the tone, yet somehow they're being sold back their own reflection and it's at a price that they can't even buy but it's literally them." She also revealed a musical collaboration with director Boots Riley, mentioning their shared creative sensibilities and the release of an EP intended to accompany 'I Love Boosters'.
Contextualizing the Production
'I Love Boosters' premiered earlier this year, on March 13th, 2026, at the South by Southwest festival, where it was described as “radical” and “absurdly funny.” Director Boots Riley noted the film's surreal qualities. A notable ensemble cast, including Palmer, Moore, Naomi Ackie, Trevante Rhodes, Daniel Liu, and LaKeith Stanfield, was present at the premiere.
