Jamie Lee Curtis has issued a response after an outfit left many of her fans ‘distracted’.

The Freaky Friday star is certainly no stranger to memes, and the 66-year-old has addressed many of them head on in the past.

Curtis is a no nonsense kind of character, so she was of course going to issue a cheeky response to a viral video of her discussing Freakier Friday, the much anticipated sequel to the 2003 classic that released in cinemas earlier this month.

The Oscar winner wore an outfit that she described as a costume for her Freaky Friday character, Tess Coleman.

“Forgive me, I’m distracted,” one person penned in the comments to the Instagram video posted by Disney Studios as it quickly went viral and memes came to light.

Well, Curtis issued a response to all the news earlier this week as she posted a photo of herself in the outfit doing the peace sign.

The actor captioned the post with: “LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at @elcapitanthtre to support #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with @lindsaylohan that sparked the movie getting made!

“HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!”

The release of Freakier Friday sees Curtis reunited with Lindsay Lohan 22 years after the original movie released.

Speaking with People last month, Curtis admitted her colleague is someone she can really ‘trust’.

“If I tell her something, it’s gonna stay with her,” she said. “We’ve both been through hard things, ’cause we’re alive and life is hard. And we’re not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff.

“We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.”

Lohan returned the compliment, saying of Curtis: “I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me. Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things.

“Jamie was with me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot publicly. She was privately really there for me.”

And Curtis is seemingly on hand with advice, with Lohan detailing her colleagues words of wisdom on the set of Freaky Friday back in the day.

“You said, ‘The way you show up to set every day depicts how everyone’s day is going to go. And you set the tone. So leave everything or anything that there may be at home’,” Lohan recalled.

Jamie Lee Curtis has opened up about how realizing she was ‘going to die soon’ sparked a huge turning point in her career.

The 65-year-old first rose to fame as an actor in 1978 release Halloween and has continued her acting career ever since, appearing in other hits such as Freaky Friday (2003) and Knives Out (2019).

However, as a result of a sudden realization, Curtis decided to up her game when it came to donning the cap of producer more seriously.

Before any Freaky Friday fans panic, no, she hasn’t been diagnosed with a terminal illness or anything.

Curtis acted as a producer in several of the other Halloween franchise movies such as 2018 release Halloween.

She’s also executive produced on films such as 2020’s Best Summer Ever and 2021’s Timers.

However, Curtis recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly: “I only stepped into my own power as a producer when I realized I was going to die soon.”

“When I turned 60 was a real turning point where I realized all of the things I’d been holding in my head, heart, mind, soul, spirit, and life force were going to die with me if I didn’t bring it out into the universe,” she continued.

And it’s this realization which prompted her to knuckle down and fully launch her own film, television and podcast production company called Comet Pictures in 2019, which later signed a three-year first look deal with Blumhouse the following year, as reported by Deadline.

Curtis added: “That was my moment of truth, and that’s when I went to Jason Blum and said, ‘I want a production company.’ It has yielded quite well for all of us.”

And Curtis’ latest project in the role of producer is for an upcoming documentary about ’90’s fitness icon Susan Powter which deals with similar themes surrounding aging.

Curtis explained: “This was never an exploitation piece about Susan Powter, it was an indictment of how we discard human beings as they get older in this country.

“It’s an exploration of the incredible cruelty that we inflict on older people and the lack of resources, and the lack of dignity offered these human beings who’ve lived before us and have been in service to us, and have given us the lives we all are now living. It’s an indictment to every family who has shuttered away the elderly in that forgotten, awful way that they do. It is an indictment of how we treat older people in our work lives.

“That’s what we do to old people: We walk by them. For me, as much as this is a fun, nostalgic look back to a time that was mindless… it’s an indictment, exploration, and a challenge for all of us to look at how complicit we are as individuals in that story, and that’s what the movie is about.
