Before the actress' announcement on Instagram in December 2022, Jamie Lee Curtis and Colin Farrell participated in Variety's Actors on Actors series. In the interview, the two actors discussed their journey with sobriety and what legacy meant to them.
Curtis shared that being sober will be her legacy, as it has been a "generational issue" in her family, and she managed to break free from it. She said:
"Being sober is going to be a legacy, for sure. Because I'm stopping what has been a generational issue in my biological family. It'll be the single greatest thing I do if I can stay sober. Because generations of people have had their lives ruled and ruined by alcoholism and drug addiction. For me, sobriety first. Always."
According to IMDb, Jamie Lee Curtis' upcoming movies, which will be released in theaters in 2025, are Freakier Friday, a sequel to the popular Freaky Friday, and Ella McCay, a comedy-drama starring Emma Mackey, Woody Harrelson, Ayo Edebiri, Kumail Nanjiani, Jack Lowden, Rebecca Hall, Spike Fearn, Troy Garity, and Albert Brooks.
Colin Farrell's upcoming movie A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, starring Margot Robbie, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lily Rabe, and Jodie Turner-Smith, will be released in theaters on May 9, 2025.
