Jamie Lee Curtis says plastic surgery has 'wiped out' natural appearance in a generation
Jamie Lee Curtis has no plans to go under the knife anytime soon. During a recent interview with The Guardian, the 67-year-old actress spoke about her stance against plastic surgery, saying she believes "we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance]." "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 explained. "And it is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want." While she is against the idea of plastic surgery, she admits "it's none of my business" to tell others what to do with their bodies, adding "I'm not proselytizing to them," but knows "that it is a never-ending cycle," which she compares to an addiction. When confronted with the idea that, as a movie star with confidence, she is speaking about the topic as someone who has more advantages than others, Curtis pushed back, saying "I have short gray hair! Other women can" do the same. "I feel like you're trying to say: 'You're in some rarefied air, Jamie,'" she said. "By the way, genetics – you can't f--- with genetics. You want to know where my genetics lie?" she said, with the interviewer noting she lifted her arm and showed it wobbling. "Are you kidding me? By the way, you're not going to see a picture of me in a tank top, ever…I wear long-sleeve shirts; that's just common sense." She added, "I challenge you that I'm in some rarefied air." Curtis brought many of her own props with her to the photo shoot, including a pair of large red wax lips, which she referred to as her "statement against plastic surgery." "I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves," she said. "The wax lips really sends it home." While "genocide" is a strong word, Curtis finds it appropriate in this case, explaining that is precisely why she has "used that word for a long time." When speaking about her approach to stepping out as a person in the public eye, she admitted that while there are a lot of "actresses who love the dress up, who love clothes, who love fashion," she is not one of them. To her, it feels as if she is "having to wrestle with your idea of me versus my idea of me," which feels wrong after she "worked hard to establish who I am." She previously opened up about her decision to go under the knife when she was 25 years old after a cinematographer commented on her appearance while filming the 1985 movie, "Perfect." "He was like, 'Yeah, I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy.' And I was 25, so for him to say that, it was very embarrassing," she said during a May 2025 episode of "60 Minutes." "That's just not what you want to do when you're 25 or 26," she continued. "And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since." Since then, she says she has "become a really public advocate" and will let women know they are naturally beautiful, saying plastic surgery "was not a good thing for me to do." Curits is set to star in "Freakier Friday," the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2003 movie, "Freaky Friday," alongside Lindsay Lohan, which is set to premiere in theaters on August 8.

Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign. Here's What People Are Saying
Sydney Sweeney's new collaboration with the fashion brand American Eagle has become the centre of a whole lot of debate. The Euphoria star unveiled a new campaign with the American clothing brand last week, to promote their line of denim last week. However, it didn't take long before social media clips to promote the deal sparked a wave of discomfort among many critics, largely due to some of the language that's used in the campaign. This is the story so far… What is Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign for American Eagle all about? For American Eagle's autumn 2025 campaign, Sydney Sweeney can be seen sporting items from the brand's denim range, including a new pair of jeans inspired by her. The campaign also makes use of the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', a pun on the term 'great genes'. In another, she explains: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' 'My jeans are blue,' she then quips, at which point a narrator delivers the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Why are some people upset about Sydney Sweeney's new ads for American Eagle? Unfortunately this repeated use of the slogan 'great jeans', a pun on 'great genes', has put some viewers in mind of the language used by white supremacists and eugenicists. By centring a blonde, white star in a campaign referencing 'genes', some critics are accusing the brand of tone-deafness at best – particularly in the current political climate – and deliberately pushing a white supremacist agenda at worst. HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for comment. Others are pointing out that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign doesn't mention one other important aspect of the product American Eagle's new 'Sydney Jean' features a butterfly detail on its back pocket, in a nod to domestic violence awareness, a cause which the White Lotus star has championed throughout her career. In fact, an American Eagle press release confirmed that '100% of the purchase price from 'The Sydney Jean' will be donated to Crisis Text Line', a charity in the US which aims to help those affected by domestic violence. However, the ads are also being criticised for not highlighting this key part of the campaign, with some saying its accompanying slogan is even more jarring as a result.
