Yes, Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to the fold! The esteemed actress and Truth crusader returns to play her iconic role as Tess Coleman once again in Disney’s anticipated sequel, “Freakier Friday.” This sequel to the 2003 teen classic “Freaky Friday” is set to be released in theaters on August 8. Now at 38 years old, Curtis is more committed than ever to her acting career. She’s just as committed to bringing more self-acceptance and confidence into the world, particularly for women.
In recent months here at LI, Curtis has been a vocal advocate for her co-star Pamela Anderson. This follows Anderson generating buzz after she controversially ditched makeup while attending Paris Fashion Week of September 2023. Curtis commended Anderson’s choice and emphasized the importance of embracing one’s natural appearance. She wants people to feel liberated to show up as they are, without the mask of makeup or filter.
Curtis has made an impressive turnaround. She had already grown out her hair for a year and a half before for a different role. Recently, she decided to return to a haircut that more accurately reflects her identity. This drastic new cut, the longest audiences have ever seen her tresses, has given Curtis a well-deserved boost of confidence.
I woke up this morning and said, ‘Well, it’s like me today,’” she said. She said she was pleased with the amendment. Curtis credited her hairstylist Sean James for his commitment. She said, “He’s been the architect of this haircut for a LONG time.
Her new look, Curtis says, has motivated her to become a stronger advocate for everyone to get in touch with their true identity. She motivates people to accept their organic imperfection and empowerment barefaced. Her fearless activism calls out the cultural messages that tell women we’re not good enough without invasive cosmetic procedures.
I am a very loud dissenter of the cosmeceutical industrial complex. I will go to my grave singing this song—that women are getting a raw deal believing they are not worthy without these products.
