Sixties and fed up with diktats. Leading actress of the 1980s, Jamie Lee Curtis is no stranger to the pressures that actresses in Hollywood and women in general are subjected to. The Californian said “stop” in her own way on social networks.
“I have never felt so free”
“I’ve been tucking in my belly since I was 11, the age when you start to become aware of boys and your body, and jeans are super tight. There I very specifically decided to give up and loosen all the muscles I used to tense to hide reality. That was my goal.” she wrote on Instagram. We see her on the set of her next feature film, Everything Everywhere All At Once, where she slips into the shoes of a tax inspector. Above all, it’s an opportunity for the 63-year-old actress to express her “body positive” side with an unvarnished cliché… or almost. “I have never felt so creatively and physically free.” a–she let it be known, tackling a “industry that brews billions by hiding things”.
