In an inspiring pursuit to being authentic, Jamie Lee Curtis revealed how her body really looks in an Instagram post to promote her new film, Everything Everywhere All At Once.

"I'm proud to introduce you to Deirdre Beaubeirdra," the actress said of her new character who is an IRS auditor.


Curtis then went on to admonish the "billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry" that endeavors to obscure imperfections and people's sense of individuality–including through the use of "Concealers. Body-shapers. Fillers. Procedures. Clothing. Hair accessories. Hair products. Everything to conceal the reality of who we are."

In her new sci-fi adventure film, Curtis endeavored to have everyone on set embrace body positivity.

"And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything."

For her, the result was dispensing with body prosthetics to reveal an unhidden version of herself–relaxed belly and all–to portray the downtrodden character.

The original scream queen from the Halloween movie franchise said she's been "sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight."

She continued, saying that she "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."


Fans were here for it.

"I have never felt more free creatively and physically I can't wait for everybody to see the BRILLIANCE of Ms.Yeoh and @kehuyquan @stephaniehsuofficial @martialclubofficial @andyle_official @dunkwun," she wrote of her co-stars, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu.

The film written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert–which is slated for a U.S. release on March 25–also stars Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., and James Hong.

Kwan confirmed with Entertainment Weekly that Curtis was not wearing a prosthetic stomach for the role.

"Everyone assumes that her belly in the movie is a prosthetic, but it's actually her real belly. She was grateful that she was allowed to just let it out," said Kwan.

Here is a trailer for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
