Jamie Lee Curtis was nicknamed “the body” decades ago, and it appears she’s still got the goods in a sultry new Instagram snap.
The Freakier Friday star added a new pic to her social media page. Alongside it is a caption sharing her disbelief that this image has gotten so much attention.
She wrote alongside her photo on Instagram, “I LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at the El Capital Theater to support #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with Lindsay Lohan that sparked the movie getting made!”
Curtis concluded, “HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!” Fans quickly reacted to the image, supporting the 66-year-old Hollywood star.
“I can only hope to be this sexy when I’m older, dang,” wrote one follower. A second person penned, “I think it's hilarious that some people are only just now realizing you're gorgeous. Late to the party.”
A third fan wrote, “You just reminded them! You still rocking and rolling, sweetie!!!” A fourth concluded, “Cause the younger generation didn’t know you always had it going on.”
For years, Curtis was known more for her body than her acting talent. She told the Irish Times, “My biggest roles were to do with my physicality, my body, my sexuality.” These included the films Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, and Perfect.
Freakier Friday premiered in theaters on Aug. 8. The movie is a sequel to the hit 2003 film Freaky Friday, where mother and daughter, Tess and Anna, switch bodies. In the sequel, another body switch happens. But this time, it's a four-way switch between the two of them and Anna’s daughter, Harper, and Harper’s nemesis, Lily.
