Jamie Lee Curtis said in a new interview with “60 Minutes” that she got plastic surgery for the first time when she was 25 years old after a cinematographer refused to shoot her one day on a movie set because he didn’t like her face. The Oscar winner said she regrets her decision to this day. The movie was 1985’s “Perfect,” directed by James Bridges and co-starring John Travolta.

“I took it very seriously as an actor,” Curtis said of the film, in which she played an aerobics instructor who meets a journalist (Travolta) during his investigation into fitness clubs.

The film’s cinematographer criticized the way she looked, with Curtis explaining: “He was like, ‘I am not shooting her today because her eyes are baggy.’ I was 25. For him to say that was very embarrassing. As soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery.”

When asked how the surgery went, Curtis answered: “Not well. That’s just not what you want to do when you’re 25 or 26. I regretted immediately and have regretted it since. [I regret it] way so now because I’ve become a really public advocate to women to say, ‘You’re gorgeous and perfect the way you are.’ It was not a good thing for me to do… They give you pain killers. I became very enamored with the warm bath of an oipiod. Drank a little bit. I was very quiet and private about it. But it became a dependancy for sure.”

Curtis has been an open book when talking about her sobriety journey. She has been sober now for 26 years. Speaking to Variety in 2019, the actor said that she often brings her sobriety with her onto her film sets.

“I was probably about nine months sober when I made ‘Freaky Friday,’” Curtis said. “I put a big sign up by the catering truck, and it said, ‘Recovery meeting in Jamie’s trailer every day.’ I left the door open and didn’t know if anybody would show up. We ended up calling it the Mobile Home Recovery Meeting. It was probably my favorite grouping of sobriety that I’ve ever participated in. I’ve participated in groups all over the world, but there was something about the cross section of ages and genders and jobs and races, and it was profound.”
