At 66, Jamie Lee Curtis continues to attract attention both on screen and off, recently starring once again as Tess Coleman in Freakier Friday, the long-awaited sequel to the 2003 hit. A surprise appearance at Disney’s El Capitan Theatre sparked online buzz—not just about the film, but about Curtis’s revealing costume that caught fans off guard.
The outfit, which Jamie explained was part of her character’s costume, quickly became the subject of memes and playful comments after a clip from Disney Studios showed her discussing the movie. One fan joked, “Forgive me, I’m distracted,” reflecting the widespread reactions. True to form, Curtis embraced the attention with humor, posting a backstage photo in the same outfit flashing a peace sign. She captioned it with delight over the unexpected popularity, celebrating the joy the movie brings.
This playful response is typical of Curtis’s straightforward and genuine personality. The sequel also marks an emotional reunion with Lindsay Lohan, 22 years after the original Freaky Friday enchanted audiences. Curtis described her connection with Lohan as rare and deep, emphasizing their shared life struggles and enduring bond.
Lohan has credited Curtis with offering private support and guidance during tough times in her career. One memorable lesson from the original film’s set was Curtis’s advice about professionalism: showing up with a good attitude sets the tone for everyone’s day.
Beyond the laughs and memes, Curtis has reflected seriously on her career. She revealed that turning 60 inspired her to focus more on producing films. Concerned about making a lasting impact, she launched Comet Pictures and signed a deal with Blumhouse to create stories exploring aging and dignity.
One recent project highlights fitness icon Susan Powter and challenges how society often neglects its elders. For Curtis, storytelling is a call to rethink cultural attitudes toward age and respect.
Jamie Lee Curtis balances humor—whether in reacting to a viral costume moment—or deeper advocacy in her career. Her reunion with Lohan, witty social media posts, and thoughtful productions make her a beloved and respected figure who continues to inspire audiences.
