Jamie Lee Curtis, you are our red carpet hero
IT ain’t easy being green unless you’re Jamie Lee Curtis, who rocked up to a film premiere in the most outlandish outfit — and somehow pulled it off.
Red Carpet
Don't miss out on the headlines from Red Carpet. Followed categories will be added to My News.
JAMIE Lee Curtis is a massive gamer nerd — and we’re all reaping the red carpet rewards.
The 57-year-old star of Freaky Friday and Scream Queens arrived at the premiere of the new sci-fi fantasy film Warcraft in an outfit that begged the question ‘WHAT are you wearing?’, rather than the usual ‘Who are you wearing?’
Curtis rocked the red carpet in full sci-fi cosplay attire, dressed as an Orc from the world of Azeroth. She had it all: the cape, the headdress, the sceptre, even the green skin.
Keeping it in the family, her 20-year-old son Thomas Guest accompanied her in full Orc attire. They were excited to see the film, which is a big-screen adaptation of the Warcraft video game series.
“We’re serious about our games,” Curtis told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet.
Showing off her geek credentials, she even joined a fan to scream “Leeroy Jenkins” for a Twitter video. “Leeroy Jenkins” is a gaming meme that emerged in 2005 after a player named Ben Schulz created a video in which a player runs into the battlefield alone yelling the name, causing everyone on his team to die.
