Jamie Lee Curtis Fans Are Flipping Out Over Her Throwback Photos in Viral TikTok
It's not spooky season until the Queen of Scream Jamie Lee Curtis tells you it is. The actress and producer captioned a recent TikTok "Apparently I’m now on TikTok. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!" and her fans can't get enough of it.
The 63-year-old actress used her first post on the social media app to join in on the "Teenage Dirtbag" trend, where users are showing off their old throwback photos from their teens set to the song "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus. It's a nostalgic trend that has folks reminiscing about the days of their past, and Jamie Lee joined other celebs like Jennifer Garner and Gabrielle Union in taking part and sharing.
In the clip that has now garnered over 3.1 million likes, Jamie Lee shares countless photos of her rocking '80s exercise leotards during her role as Jessie in the 1985 movie Perfect alongside John Travolta, as well as wearing the iconic Michael Myers mask and working on the set of Halloween, where she starred as Laurie Strode. The beginning of the clip even has Jamie Lee wearing a blue-and-denim ensemble that very closely resembles the outfit she wore in the original horror movie — and she still pulls it off 44 years later.
Naturally, fans rushed to the comments to express their thoughts. "The flex of the century. The QUEEN has arrived 👑🎃," one said. Another commented, "The Original Scream Queen! And a whole lot more! Love the heck outta this woman!" Many also welcomed her to the app. Even TikTok's official account wrote, "Welcome, legend."
Moreover, the band behind the viral TikTok trend @wheatusofficial commented, "YOUR FIRST TIKTOK IS OUR SONG WE ARE SCREAMING."
Of course, many comments also addressed Jamie Lee's upcoming film Halloween Ends, where she will play Laurie Strode one last time alongside Judy Greer, Andi Matichak and Will Patton in what is expected to be the final installment of the Halloween series. Jamie Lee, who has been dubbed the "ultimate final girl" in horror movies, has starred in seven of the 13 adaptations.
"You carried every Halloween 🙂 before the final movie, I want to say thank you for making them memorable," one fan wrote. "I just want to thank you for all of the characters you have played," said another.
According to Parade, Halloween Ends is set to hit theaters on October 14. Until then, we can only hope Jamie Lee continues to post throwbacks and drop hints about Laurie Strode's ending in the final film.
