LOS ANGELES — Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis says she that her attitude towards relationships has evolved during the course of her career in showbiz and that she has no time to waste on toxic people.
"I turned 60 and realised I was going to die sooner than later. And that understanding meant I have no effing time to waste. No time to waste on toxic people, on relationships that don't serve me," She told AARP.
The actress, whose parents were Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, has long been aware of the industry's harsh treatment of older performers, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Jamie said: "I've been self-retiring since I was 30, saying, 'I'll get out of this,' because the industry I'm in is a cruel, cruel industry, particularly with ageing. There's a dismissal of people. I watched it very much with my parents. So I have just decided to embrace that."
The actress changed her approach after she turned 60 and started to embrace her new-found "freedom,” reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She said: "Accepting my crepey skin and showing it anyway — that's freedom. I understand what I look like. I look in the mirror. I get it. And there's no need for me to alter it."
Meanwhile, Jamie Lee previously claimed that the "filter face is what people want".
The actress has been an outspoken critic of the "cosmeceutical industrial complex" and she believes that the ever-increasing influence of AI technology has actually exacerbated the problem.
The Hollywood star told the Guardian newspaper: "I believe that 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. And it 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? 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."
