Over on TikTok, people are just now discovering that you can have an amazing rack at any age. They have come to this realization thanks to a video posted by Disney of Jamie Lee Curtis promoting Freakier Friday, and a lot of them are being really weird about it.
In the video, Curtis earnestly implores viewers to see the sequel to experience “the same level of nostalgia and joy and laughter and happiness and tears and friendships” as they did the first time around. It seems like she’s really proud of this movie. However, she’s dressed in one of her character’s costumes, and her cleavage is on display. So that is what nearly all 23,000 comments are about.
@disneystudios A special message from Jamie Lee Curtis 💜💚 Experience Freakier Friday now playing in theaters. Get tickets. Link in bio.
The top comments on the video (which has accumulated over 10 million views in a day) are all different reaction images. One features a character from Diary of a Wimpy Kid looking on with a furrowed brow, another shows SpongeBob looking up as a breastlike shadow looms over him, and one is a woman screaming as another woman presses her chest to a car window. When using text, the comments don’t get any better. “Where did THOSE come from,” one user asked. “Oh it’s freakier alright,” said another. One person just wrote, “JAMIE LEE MILKERS.”
Curtis does look great, but everyone acting like a cartoon dog with its tongue dragging on the floor needs to be put in time-out. This is what happens when TikTok convinces a large swath of Gen Z that women become haggard ghouls after they turn 30, and they don’t realize that being a smoke show knows no age. There is no reason to be writing, as one commenter did, “Just because there’s wrinkles on the wrapper don’t mean the candy ain’t sweet.”
Despite the fact that you and I are probably cringing at this mass-horniness event, Curtis seems to love it. On Wednesday, the actress alluded to the wild response to her body.

“I LOVE the fact that the LAST photograph of me as TESS taken backstage in costume from my surprise appearance at @elcapitanthtre to support #freakierfriday has gotten more attention than any other since the announcement post with @lindsaylohan that sparked the movie getting made,” Curtis wrote alongside a photo of her in said costume, throwing up a peace sign. “HAPPY TO HELP SPREAD THE JOY THAT OUR MOVIE SERVES!”
Was it really joy that was spread? If that’s what she thinks is going on, so be it. More than anything, this has proven that there has to be a better way to be body positive about women in their 60s. Maybe we need to bring back a respectful “AwoOOoga” or a “Va-va-VOOM.” Perhaps a simple “Wow!” if you’re shy. If you are one of the thousands of people who commented horny things about Curtis, it’s time to do some reflecting. If you are one of the millions of people who saw the video and thought, Holy moly, she looks good, but kept it to yourself: Feel free to carry on.
