After busting out her natural features while promoting Freakier Friday, Jamie Lee Curtis had a hilarious response to fans who were gobsmacked over the image that’s praised for proving women “don’t have to be a Kardashian wannabe.”
In a bold July interview with The Guardian, legendary actor Jamie Lee Curtis – a natural beauty at 66 – didn’t hold back when it came to cosmetic surgery. The Oscar winner slammed the beauty industry’s obsession with youth, declaring, “Generations of women have been disfigured by surgical tweaks.”
She revealed she’d once dabbled in plastic surgery herself but “regretted” it immediately: “It was not a good thing for me to do,” she told the outlet.
In the same article, the producer and author is seen in an image wearing giant red wax lips that she said is her “statement against plastic surgery.”
“I’ve been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who’ve disfigured themselves. The wax lips really sends it home,” said the star, who is known for leaning on her natural beauty.
Shortly after the bombshell interview, Curtis unintentionally sparked a very different kind of conversation – with a plunging neckline and viral swagger.
Revealing outfit
In a behind-the-scenes clip promoting the long-awaited Freaky Friday sequel, Curtis – who’s reunited with Lindsay Lohan – teases that Freakier Friday will capture the same magic and atmosphere that made the original a hit over 20 years ago.
“Now, 22 years later, you’re going to join a big group of people who are finding something really sweet at the end of the summer to remind them what it is to be alive,” Curtis said in the promo clip, that was shared August 16 by Disney Studios. “I’m just really privileged that I get to take you on the ride.”
But it wasn’t her words that were sparking serious buzz across the internet – Curtis was wearing a revealing outfit that had fans doing a double take.
‘Decided to get freakier’
Social media exploded with memes and reactions, many calling it the “freakiest” Friday yet.
Comments ranged from playful awe – “Forgive me, I’m distracted” – to full-on celebration of her striking look.
“A beautiful real woman will always be a beautiful real woman,” said one fan on Instagram, while a second writes, “I have nothing appropriate to say.”
“I think it’s hilarious that some people are only just now realizing you’re gorgeous. Late to the party,” shared another.
Meanwhile on Facebook, fans were equally shocked that the Trading Places star was busting out her cleavage.
“No way Jamie Curtis was hiding all of that under her shirt lol,” shared one fan.
“So, she just decided to get freakier all of sudden,” writes a second, while another added, “I did not hear a word she said.”
Curtis responds
Curtis didn’t just notice the buzz –she fueled it, reposting a sizzling still from the clip to her own account, clearly reveling in the viral attention.
“I LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at @elcapitanthtre to support #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with @lindsaylohan that sparked the movie getting made!” the star of A Fish Called Wanda captioned the August 20 post.
“HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!”
‘Don’t have to be a Kardashian wannabe’
Once again, fans flooded the comments, showering Curtis with love and praise.
“People were shocked that you’re a baddie, I was like REALLY? Where have they been, I mean [you’ve] been serving for decades…Masterpiece,” offers one user in the comment section.
A second user writes, “I say this as a completely heterosexual woman, you still have the best boobs in Hollywood! I love you for always keeping it real!”
“If the world didn’t have Jamie Lee Curtis I do not want to live in that world,” shared a third netizen.
Another fan, admiring Curtis for proving that women don’t need cosmetic surgery, said: “Naturally beautiful older lady…young girls note…You don’t have to be a Kardashian wannabe.”
