Jamie Lee Curtis is opening up about her choice in not wearing any prosthetics for her new role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

While attending the 2022 SXSW Festival with her co-stars Stephanie Hsu, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Jamie revealed that there’s no concealing anything about her real body.

She was grateful that she was allowed to just let it out.” For Jamie, it was more than a costume and she “just wanted to be truthful to this woman” as her alter ego. “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,” she shared. “And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything.” Jamie continued, “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.
