It is so common for Hollywood celebrities to do whatever they can to keep themselves looking as young as possible. Cosmetic procedures, expensive treatments — you name it, they have done it. Jamie Lee Curtis used to be a celebrity who would go to great lengths to make sure that she looked good. But she has since realized what is best for her.
Like most women, Curtis used to be constantly criticized for the way she looked. At 65 years old, Curtis no longer feels the pressure to conform to these standards and hasn’t for a long time. She has a full head of white hair and does not dye it anymore. She has also quit wearing high heels.
Getting consistent work and staying famous can be harder for stars as they grow older since fewer roles tend to be available. At 65, the star is still glowing and glamorous and has no plans to slow down her vibrant career.
Curtis has been a pinnacle icon in the film and television industry since the late 1970s when she rose to fame with her starring role in the horror franchise “Halloween.” The successful actress has played a variety of characters in her many career avenues, with some of her most notable roles being a mother, such as her part in “Freaky Friday.”
From time to time, Curtis has defied those odds and conventions set by society. For instance, the Academy Award-winning actress posed nude in a nature-inspired photo shoot she did with The New York Times, surprising many people once again with her confidence and beauty that has not faltered throughout the many years.

As the world continues to introduce new technologies and the latest beauty treatments to preserve one’s youthful glow, Curtis remains consistent in her “pro-aging” crusade of sending out a message to the world about embracing one’s age.
The topic of getting rid of the term anti-aging is something that Curtis has continued to be passionate about. The Sounds True Instagram page posted a video of Curtis expressing her frustration with the term and instead offered a better outlook on life.
“I am an advocate now for natural beauty because I do feel there has been a genocide of natural beauty,” the actress said. “This word ‘anti-aging’ has to be struck.”
As an advocate of natural beauty, Curtis has kept a strict 10-step fitness formula that has since worked for her for so long–the secret to her great shape. According to an interview with OK Magazine, Curtis bulks up on “raw veggies, fruits, and protein.” As much as possible, she avoids fatty, fried foods and “too many carbs.”
Water is also a key component of her great diet. As for her workout regimen, she switches between Yoga and Pilates, but she has recommended hiking or strolling with friends too!
In an interview, Curtis spoke more about Hollywood beauty standards in a Fast Company interview in 2021:
“I tried plastic surgery and it didn’t work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. I’m 22 years sober now. 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.”

With Curtis’ commitment to maintaining her natural beauty, her confidence in doing something that is not expected for her age grows even stronger. In an Instagram post in January 2023, Curtis had her own “Flashback Friday” as she posted a photo of herself way back when she was 50 years old, topless in a swimming pool for a cover photo of a magazine.
While many of her fans took turns to gush about her beauty, that wasn’t the last of Curtis’ very raw escapades.
In October 2022, Curtis channeled her inner photographer and artist as she posed nude in an editorial photo shoot with The New York Times. In the stunning photos, Curtis was blocked by a huge boulder while she dramatically held her head up high, looking at the camera with a sharp gaze, with her feet extended outward.
Speaking to the publication, Curtis confessed about the liberation she felt in her career while posing nude: “All I’m interested in is freedom as a performer, and I don’t get that opportunity very often. But the times I am able to be free, I’m on fire.”
Other photos on the carousel also included Curtis wearing a revealing bikini while lying elegantly on an outdoor natural pool.
As expected, Curtis’ comment section was filled with an outpouring of support and love for her, praising her for her beauty and bold choice.
“LOVE seeing you grow and transform into this stage in your career. I feel like you are on FIRE🔥,” a user commented.
“Another WOW, 🔥😍🔥, your so perfect Jamie Lee Curtis, age means nothing because your the sexiest now for sure, gorgeous inside and outside,” another happily shared on the comments.
