She's an Oscar-winner with 79 acting credits to her name, but Julianne Moore's children "were shocked" when they found out about some of her more risque movies.

Speaking to Net-A-Porter's The Edit, the 55-year-old revealed that the only role Caleb, 18, and Liv, 14, identify her with is as their steady mother.

"A couple of years ago I got an award, and they did one of those film clubs. My kids came and they had seen one or two of my movies, but they hadn't seen them all, and they were shocked! Shocked!" said Moore, as she posed in a stunning Victoriana-inspired shoot.

"First of all, they were shocked that I had done so many movies, and then, that I seemed to be doing these outrageous things."
