The name "Jamie" did not sit well with Jamie Lee Curtis when she was a child, she revealed on the October 5 episode of "The Late Late Show With James Corden" (via E!). The reason for her dislike of the name had everything to do with the fact that she used to be made fun of for her name sounding "like a boy's." In fact, Curtis hated her name so much that she tried on variations of the moniker for a short time. The "Knives Out" actress even once asked to be called Jane, and her famous parents complied.
But the name change didn't last long. As the "Freaky Friday" star told The Independent, "I think they called me Janey for, like, a day. And then it got stupid."
Curtis, who shares adult children Ruby and Annie with husband Christopher Guest, has come a long way since those years of feeling insecure. Today, she is an advocate for self-love and self acceptance, often posing for makeup free-selfies. Plus, Curtis' vulnerability and honesty make us love her that much more!
Though the actress has come to terms with her given name, there is still someone who calls her by her once-chosen name, Jane. As Curtis revealed to The Independent, Guest will refer to his wife as "Janey" in "intimate moments." "That moment when you don't want to be laughing, he'll say, 'Oh, Janey,' and he'll make me laugh," she revealed.
