Jamie Lee Curtis shows off very different look after she refused ‘body-shapers, surgery, & sucking in stomach’ for movie
JAMIE Lee Curtis looks very different after she refused to use any "body-shapers, surgery" and "sucking in her stomach" for a new movie.
The 53-year-old took to Instagram to give her fans another side of herself.
In the snap, the actress is dressed up as her character from the film Everything Everywhere All At Once, where she plays an IRS auditor.
The photo has Jamie Lee sitting in a cubicle and eating a cookie while dressed in a tight, yellow turtleneck that shows off her tummy to go along with gray dress pants.
The movie star, who shows off her bangs, also sports glasses and what looks like a hand and wrist brace.
She captioned it: "WELL…. here we GO! Two years ago we made this movie right up until the day the world shut down.

"We just finished in time. It's a Magical Mystery Tour of a movie and I'm so excited to see it tomorrow at its premiere opening..."
The film also stars Crazy Rich Asians' Michelle Yeoh and I Want You Back's Jenny Slate.
Jamie Lee then got a bit more personal and explained why she decided to go all natural for her role.
She said: "In the world, there is an industry — a billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry — about hiding things. Concealers. Body-shapers. Fillers. Procedures. Clothing. Hair accessories. Hair products. Everything to conceal the reality of who we are.

"And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I've been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight."
Jamie Lee concluded: "I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically..."
ALL PRAISE
Fans were all about Jamie Lee's admission as they took to the comments section to react with nothing but praise.
One wrote: "I just love you! You can portray anyone! Best actress!"
Another added: "As long as I can remember I've always admired you for not looking at them as flaws. They are earned and are beautiful!"
"Oh my god, I love you!" a third chimed in as another said, "I didn’t even recognize you!"
'YOU CAN'T GET IT BACK'
Jamie Lee being so open about her body should not come as a surprise as she has had no problem touching on the subject of plastic surgery in the past.
She once told Fast Company during an interview: "I tried plastic surgery and it didn’t work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. I’m 22 years sober now."
The famous star continued: "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’t get it back.”
'A REAL DANGER'
She also made it clear the impact social media can have one a person.
“We just don’t know the longitudinal effect, mentally, spiritually, and physically, on a generation of young people who are in agony because of social media, because of the comparisons to others," she explained.

"All of us who are old enough know that it’s all a lie. It’s a real danger to young people.”
