JAMIE LEE CURTIS refused to conceal her body in her new movie, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”. She’s playing an IRS auditor. Jamie is sick of the “billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry” that’s all about hiding who a person really is with things like concealers, body-shapers, fillers, procedures, and even clothing. She posted a photo in character and said, “My instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I’ve been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies . . .”I 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.” The movie hits theaters for a limited run on March 25th.
