Hollywood icon Jamie Lee Curtis has gone viral on TikTok after a video message she recorded for Disney’s official account drew unexpected attention.

The 66-year-old actress appeared in a promotional clip for her new film Freakier Friday, a sequel to the 2003 hit Freaky Friday, co-starring Lindsay Lohan. The video was intended as a warm message to fans, coinciding with the film’s global promotional push, but it quickly became a hot topic for another reason.
Curtis, dressed in a low-cut denim top, surprised many younger TikTok users, who expressed shock at her bold look on the family-friendly platform. Comments ranged from “Woah hey Jamie” to “Why would Disney post that.” Others, however, were quick to point out that Curtis has long been recognized as a Hollywood screen siren, recalling her famous 1994 True Lies dance sequence. “She’s always been hot,” one user remarked, while another added, “Some of y’all have never seen True Lies and it shows.”
The viral moment comes as Curtis and Lindsay Lohan continue their international promotion of Freakier Friday. Earlier this month, the pair attended the Australian premiere in Sydney, reconnecting two decades after their first collaboration in the original film. According to box office reports, the sequel debuted with $29 million in the U.S. against a $42 million budget, and added $15.5 million overseas, bringing the global total to $44.5 million in its opening week.
Reception has been largely positive, with Rotten Tomatoes showing a 93 percent audience score. Still, not all reactions have been favorable. TIME magazine questioned whether the sequel was necessary, prompting Curtis to push back on Instagram, writing: “SEEMS a TAD HARSH. SOME people LOVE it. Me being one.” Just as with her viral TikTok clip, Curtis once again sparked conversation across generations.
