Jamie Lee Curtis on the Lindsay Lohan Plastic Surgery Rumors
The Freakier Friday star recently opened up about her position on plastic surgery in a new interview with The Guardian, which included an original photoshoot to which the actor brought her own props, including giant wax lips.
'The wax lips is my statement against plastic surgery,' she said. 'I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves. The wax lips really sends it home.'
In case you were wondering, yes she did mean to use the word 'genocide' to describe the seemingly never-ending popularity of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.
'I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance],' she explained. 'The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers—there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.'
Of course, Jamie's Freakier Friday co-star Lindsay Lohan has been caught up in a lot of online speculation about plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. Lindsay herself admitted to using Botox and laser treatments in a recent interview with Elle, but she hasn't commented on any surgical interventions.
When asked whether or not Jamie was concerned that younger actors—like Lindsay—might feel judged by her staunchly anti-plastic surgery stance, Jamie wasn't worried. 'No, no. Because I don't care. It doesn't matter. I'm not proselytizing to them,' she said. 'I would never say a word. I would never say to someone: What have you done?'
That said, she continued, 'All I know is that it is a never-ending cycle. That I know. Once you start, you can't stop. But it's not my job to give my opinion; it's none of my business.'

Jamie Lee Curtis has thoughts about the harm done to ‘a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex'
Jamie Lee Curtis understands that using the word 'genocide' to describe plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures might not go over well for some, but she's not backing down. 'I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex,' the actress told The Guardian in a recently published interview. 'I've used that word for a long time and I use it specifically because it's a strong word. I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human (appearance).' The 'Freakier Friday' star caused a stir years ago when she posed for a magazine cover in her underwear and no makeup to show the reality of what she looked like at the time. Now 66, Curtis told The Guardian that 'the concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers – there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.' She added that the trend 'is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want.' 'I'm not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it's hard not to go: 'Oh, well that looks better.' But what's better?,' the Oscar-winner continued. 'Better is fake. And there are too many examples – I will not name them – but very recently we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people.' Elsewhere in the interview, Curtis described how she would respond to other public-facing personalities in her business that may have indeed had plastic surgery, saying, 'It doesn't matter.' 'I'm not proselytising to them. I would never say a word,' she said. 'I would never say to someone: what have you done? All I know is that it is a never-ending cycle. That, I know. Once you start, you can't stop. But it's not my job to give my opinion; it's none of my business.' This is far from the first time Curtis has commented on what it means to age in Hollywood. During a 2024 appearance on 'Today,' the star said she was 'very much in acceptance of what I look like and I own what I think and feel. And that, to me, is what maturity is.' 'You own what you think and feel. I say what I mean. I mean what I say. I try not to say it mean. And that's a way then to grow into my old age.'

Dennis Quaid, 71, offers rare comment on marriage to Lauren Savoie, 32
Almost 30 years after Dennis Quaid shocked his fictional daughter Hallie with an age-gap relationship in "The Parent Trap," the actor is opening up about his own intergenerational love. Quaid, 71, offered a rare insight into his relationship with wife Laura Savoie, 32, in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. The pair tied the knot in 2020 after getting engaged the year prior. "My life is paradise," Quaid told the outlet in an article published July 28. "Every day is paradise with her. It really is. "It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody. Every day is paradise. What can I tell you?" the "Playing for Keeps" actor confessed. "I don't know why God had waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but (I'm) really glad he brought her into my life, or I walked into hers." Why 'Reagan' star Dennis Quaid is nostalgic for 'liberal Republicans' As for their 39-year age gap, Quaid thinks other people are more concerned than the two of them. "I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have," he told Fox News Digital last year. "I really don't think about it. She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life." This is Quaid's fourth marriage. He was previously married to actress P.J. Soles in 1978. After the pair's divorce in 1983, he tied the knot with Meg Ryan, with whom he shares one son, fellow actor Jack Quaid. Their marriage lasted a decade and, after divorcing in 2001, he remarried, saying "I do" with real estate broker Kimberly Buffington in 2004. He and Buffington share twins Thomas and Zoe. Meg Ryan on love, aging and returning to rom-coms: 'It doesn't stop in your 20s' His love affair with Savoie surprised him as much as the next person, he told The Guardian in 2019, shortly after the couple revealed their engagement. "I didn't go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me," he said. "I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed. … I don't fall in love easy. But I can't let what a few people think control all that. "I've been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is," he added. "I feel like I have a real partner in life."
