Jamie Lee Curtis regrets undergoing cosmetic surgery.
The 'Halloween' star, 66, has revealed she had some work down when she was in her 20s after her looks were criticised by a cinematographer on the set of her 1985 film 'Perfect' but she's regretted the decision ever since.
During an appearance on '60 minutes', Jamie explained: "[The cinematographer] was like: 'Yeah, I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy'.
"And I was 25? So, for him to say that was very embarrassing. So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery."
When asked how the surgery went, Jamie replied: "Not well. That's just not what you wanna do when you're 25 or 26. And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since ...
"Way so now because I've become a really public advocate to say to women: 'You're gorgeous and you're perfect the way you are.' So oh, yeah I ... it was not a good thing for me to do."
The surgery also led Jamie to start taking pain killers and she developed an addiction which she was eventually able to kick.
She added: "They give them [pain killers] to you. I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate.
"You know, [I] drank a little bit … never to excess, never any big public demonstrations, I was very quiet, very private about it but it became a dependency for sure."
