Jamie Lee Curtis seriously regrets doing ‘piece of sh*t movie’ and hasn’t held back in explaining why

Jamie Lee Curtis has a very impressive list of film credits - but there's one role she truly regrets

Jamie Lee Curtis has opened up about one role she really regrets in her years-long career.

The Freaky Friday star, 65, is the daughter of esteemed actors Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, and first shot to fame in the classic film Halloween, released in 1978.

She has gone on to win a series of awards, including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once.

But it seems that even the most successful of actors still have regrets, as Curtis has revealed which 'piece of s**t' movie she herself regrets starring in.

Drum roll please... it's Virus, a 1999 horror and science fiction film about extraterrestrial entities that want to turn the human race into cyborgs.

In 2010, the Express reported Curtis as telling the World Entertainment News Network: "That's a piece of s**t movie. It's an unbelievably bad movie; just bad from the bottom.

"There's a scene where I'm running away from this alien and I actually hide under the stairs. I come down some stairs and then duck up underneath them and I'm quivering and this big thing comes down the stairs and I'm freaking hiding under the stairs!

"This is something that can open walls of steel and I'm hiding under stairs!"

The star continued: "It was maybe the only time I've known something was just bad and there was nothing I could do about it.

"I just do the best I can and there have been bad movies that have been wildly successful and great movies that have tanked, so you never know.

"It was an independent precursor to all of these Marvel comics movies. I thought maybe that fan base would show up for it, but no."

Curtis won her first ever Emmy on 9 September, for her role as Donna Berzatto in The Bear.

Speaking backstage after scooping the coveted award, she reminisced on her earlier days.

She said: "I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I’ve been an actor since I was 19. I’m 65. I sold yogurt that makes you s**t for seven years, and I just never thought in my life that I would get to do work at this level, depth and complexity and intelligence."

Curtis once appeared in TV adverts, encouraging viewers to buy Activia yoghurts.

She concluded her speech by extending her gratitude.

She said: “It’s just been the thrill of my creative life these last couple years that I get these opportunities, so I’m humble and incredibly grateful.”
