Jamie Lee Curtis is walking back her previous comment about aging.
Days after telling TODAY that she's "embracing aging fully," the actress, 67, is now clarifying her statement.
In an episode of NPR’s Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast published on Thursday, Dec. 11, Curtis changed her tune.
"And by the way, that's a total lie," she revealed. “That I don’t care. Of course I care.”
Curtis continued, “When I look in the mirror, I am looking at the problem, I’m looking at the solution. You know, I can’t filter the mirror.”
She explained further, “The deep, dark, truthful mirror is coming for all of us,” she explained. “We can pretend it isn’t… We can alter reality all we want. We can take a photograph, AI-altered, Facetuning, whatever the f--- it is. But my point is simply: You can’t hide the truth.”
Later, she concluded, "When I say I don’t care, I don’t care about hiding the truth anymore.”

In a July interview with The Guardian, the actress spoke candidly about her thoughts on plastic surgery, referring to women who have undergone such procedures as "disfigured."
"I’ve been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who’ve disfigured themselves," Curtis told the outlet through an email via her publicist. In reference to a prop she brought to wear for the accompanying photo shoot, the star added, "The wax lips really sends it home.”
The Ella McCay star doubled down on her use of the word "genocide."“I’ve used that word for a long time and I use it specifically because it’s a strong word," she explained. "I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance]."

Curtis continued, "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. And it is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want."
The Freakier Friday star shared that a filter may look "better" to some, but "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," she said.
