And what a lovely family it is!
On the movie, Curtis explained: "My instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I've been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight.
"I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically."
And many fans felt Jamie Lee Curtis's attitude was a breath of fresh air. Her film Everything Everywhere All At Once premiered at SXSW on Friday and opens in theatres on March 25.
