Jamie Lee Curtis is making a bold statement against the proliferation of cosmetic surgery, utilizing oversized wax lips in a recent photoshoot to symbolize her critique. the actress, known for her candid views, expressed her concerns about the societal pressure on women to alter their appearances. This stance comes after her own past experience with plastic surgery at age 25, which she has publicly regretted.
“The wax lips is my statement against plastic surgery,” Curtis explained, elaborating on the symbolic choice. She has been a vocal critic of what she terms the “cosmeceutical industrial complex,” believing it has led to the disfigurement of a generation of women. Curtis defended her use of the strong word “genocide,” asserting that it accurately reflects the widespread alteration of natural human appearance through chemicals, surgical procedures, and fillers, predominantly affecting women. She further noted the influence of AI and filters in promoting an artificial standard of beauty, lamenting the difficulty in resisting the appeal of digitally enhanced appearances.
Beyond her commentary on beauty standards, Curtis has a packed professional schedule. she is set to star in a reboot of Murder, She Wrote and is producing The Lost Bus, a film centered on the 2018 Camp Fire, which will feature Matthew McConaughey. Additionally, Curtis is starring in and executive producing Scarpetta, a series based on Patricia Cornwell’s novels, which has already secured two seasons on Prime Video and will also feature Nicole Kidman. Her upcoming projects also include the psychological horror film Sender, where she will star alongside Britt Lower, David Dastmalchian, and Anna Baryshnikov, and a role in James L. Brooks’ dramedy Ella McCay, with a cast including Woody Harrelson, Emma Mackey, Ayo Edebiri, Rebecca Hall, and Albert Brooks. These projects follow the anticipated release of the sequel to the 2003 film Freaky Friday.
