It is so common for Hollywood celebrities to do whatever they can to keep themselves looking as young as possible. Cosmetic procedures, expensive treatments \u2014 you name it, they have done it. Jamie Lee Curtis used to be a celebrity who would go to great lengths to ensure she looked good. But she has since realized what is best for her.<\/p>\n

Like most women, Curtis was constantly criticized for how she looked. At 65 years old, Curtis no longer feels pressured to conform to these standards and hasn\u2019t for a long time. She has a full head of white hair and no longer dyes it. She has also quit wearing high heels. Getting consistent work and staying famous can be harder for stars as they grow older since fewer roles are available for women past a certain age. At 65, the star is still glowing and glamorous and has no plans to slow down her vibrant career.<\/p>\n

Curtis has been an\u00a0icon in the film and television industry since the late 1970s when she rose to fame with her starring role in the horror franchise \u201cHalloween<\/a>.\u201d The successful actress has played a variety of characters in her many career avenues, with some of her most notable roles being mothers, such as her part in \u201cFreaky Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, Curtis surprised everyone when she and Lindsay Lohan announced they were reprising their roles from \u201cFreaky Friday\u201d for a sequel 22 years later. As photographers tried\u00a0to get a glimpse of the highly-awaited screen reunion between Lohan and Curtis, they snapped photos of Curtis with a new\u00a0longer hairstyle.\u00a0Keep reading to learn more about Curtis\u2019 outlook on her hair\u00a0and her reunion with Lohan.<\/p>\n

During a\u00a0podcast interview<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0People<\/a>\u00a0in June 2021,\u00a0Curtis<\/a>\u00a0talked about how she learned to be mindful about aging while staying relevant in Hollywood, thanks to her famous parents \u2014 actors\u00a0Janet Leigh<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tony Curtis<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m the child of movie stars,\u201d she said. \u201cI watched my parents get facelifts and neck lifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although her parents did what they could to still look youthful, the harsh reality of Hollywood is that not all stars are able to shine for their entire careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched their work diminish, I watched their fame not diminish,\u201d Curtis explained. \u201cAnd the contradiction of a lot of fame, but not a lot of work, is really hard to navigate for people.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Curtis talked about how it is \u201cvery hard to be famous but not be doing the thing that made you famous. And that for the rest of your life, you\u2019re famous for something you did a long time ago, and you chase that attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching her parents\u2019 careers play out and seeing how their wave of success went up and down despite being such legends in the acting industry helped Curtis prepare for when it came to be her own time to experience the reality of being an older actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be mindful, as the daughter of stars,\u201d Curtis said. \u201cAnd so, I was hedging my bets, \u2019cause I don\u2019t want to be the person pining away for work and not getting it. It\u2019s humiliating, and it\u2019s a hard business. It\u2019s all about what you look like.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Curtis definitely hasn\u2019t let her age stand in the way of staying famous. In 2022, she won her first Academy Award for playing the disgruntled IRS inspection officer Deirdre Beaubeirdre in the film \u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Curtis gained further recognition, she remained committed to advocating for women to embrace their natural beauty. More specifically, Curtis is a passionate advocate for women of her age and occupation, and her hair has become an extension of how she embodies the character she plays.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a02021 interview<\/a>, Curtis spoke to Scottish television host Lorraine Kelly and talked about how she tried various hairstyles throughout her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to do everything you can do to your hair. Personally, I felt it (was)\u00a0humiliating. I would go into a hair salon \u2014 the smell of the chemicals, the feeling of that color on my hair (\u2026)\u00a0wearing the thing, sitting under the hairdryer \u2014 I was like, \u2018For what?’\u201d Curtis revealed. \u201cSo very early on in my career, I had a perm and then had to dye my hair for a movie and it burned my hair off my head. And the first time I cut my hair short, I went, \u2018Oh! (\u2026)\u00a0Wow, I look like me!’\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since then, Curtis decided to stop dyeing her hair, as well as leave her face\u00a0the way it is. She confessed to\u00a0Fast Company<\/a>\u00a0in 2021 that she tried plastic surgery, and \u201cit didn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt got me addicted to Vicodin. I\u2019m 22 years sober now. The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty. Once you mess with your face, you can\u2019t get it back,\u201d she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Curtis echoed the same sentiments in her interview with Kelly, where she exclaimed: \u201cWe\u2019re all gonna die! Why do you want to look 17 when you\u2019re 70!? I want to look 70 when I\u2019m 70!\u201d<\/p>\n

At 65, Curtis is still one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. In June 2024, Disney Studios announced that she and\u00a0Lohan<\/a>\u00a0were reprising their roles from \u201cFreaky Friday<\/a>,\u201d 22 years after the first film became a blockbuster hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Colemans are back and coming to theaters in 2025! The sequel to Freaky Friday is now in production!\u201d Disney announced in an\u00a0Instagram post<\/a>, showing Curtis and Lohan holding hands outside their production trailer vans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In an interview with\u00a0The New York Times<\/a>, Curtis revealed how overdue the sequel is.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I went around the world with \u2018Halloween Ends,\u2019 people wanted to know if there was going to be another \u2018Freaky Friday\u2019 (\u2026)\u00a0When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, \u2018It feels like there\u2019s a movie to be made,’\u201d Curtis revealed to the publication.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On July 4, 2024,\u00a0Just Jared<\/a>\u00a0obtained photographs of Curtis returning to her production trailer van with long gray hair. Fans reacted upon seeing Curtis with her new hairdo.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove Jamie, be interesting to see what happens in the movie, she must be a grandma by now, she looks so like her mum but love her hair short! \"❤️\" \u201d one said.<\/p>\n
