Jamie Lee Curtis shares regrets about plastic surgery at 25
Jamie Lee Curtis spilled some major tea about her early Hollywood days.
At just 25, a cinematographer’s cruel comment about her “baggy eyes” sent her straight to plastic surgery.
Can you believe the nerve? During filming of “Perfect” (1985), legendary cameraman Gordon Willis basically refused to shoot her that day, leaving her totally mortified in front of the whole crew.
THE SURGERY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
The Halloween star didn’t mince words about her regrets. “Not well… That’s just not what you want to do when you’re 25,” she confessed during her 60 Minutes interview.
What started as a quick fix for her appearance spiraled into something much darker.
That eye job became the gateway to a Vicodin addiction that would haunt her for years.
FROM PILLS TO SOBRIETY
“I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate,” Curtis admitted with surprising candor.
She kept her struggle super private—no messy public scenes or dramatic breakdowns. But behind closed doors?
The dependency was real and consuming. Thank goodness she’s now celebrating a whopping 26 years clean and sober!
THAT INFAMOUS LEOTARD SCENE
Despite the painful memories, Curtis can laugh about her iconic aerobics scenes from “Perfect” now.
Those lycra-clad workouts with John Travolta became pop culture legend! “Even I go like, ‘Really?
Come on,'” she chuckled about her younger self.
She even recreated the steamy routine with Jimmy Fallon recently—proving she’s totally made peace with her past.
HOLLYWOOD’S BRUTAL BEAUTY STANDARDS
Curtis’s story highlights the insane pressure young actresses faced (and still face).
Daughter of Hollywood royalty Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, even she wasn’t immune to the industry’s cruel beauty standards.
One offhand comment from a powerful man altered her life trajectory—but didn’t define her incredible career that followed.
