Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals Comment That Led Her to Get Plastic Surgery at 25: 'Not a Good Thing for Me to Do'
Jamie Lee Curtis is opening up about her struggles with self image as a young actress.
The 66-year-old actress revealed that a comment a cinematographer made when she was filming the 1985 movie Perfect led her to get plastic surgery.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, I’m not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy.’ And I was 25, so for him to say that, it was very embarrassing. So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery,” she told 60 Minutes.

“That’s just not what you want to do when you’re 25 or 26. And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since. I’ve become a really public advocate to say to women you’re gorgeous and you’re perfect the way you are. So yeah, it was not a good thing for me to do,” she added.
The Freaky Friday star said the procedure also led to a painkiller addiction.
“I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate. You know, drank a little bit … never to access, never any big public demonstrations. I was very quiet, very private about it, but it became a dependency for sure,” she said.
