LOS ANGELES (ANN/THE STRAITS TIMES) – American actress Jamie Lee Curtis reunited with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, her co-star in action comedy film True Lies (1994), at a charity event over the weekend for American non-profit organisation After-School All-Stars, which assists children from low-income families, founded by Schwarzenegger.
“I love the way my friends suit up and show up for the causes that move their souls and hearts,” Curtis wrote on social media on Saturday. “@schwarzenegger loves @afterschoolallstars and I love Arnold. The GOAT.”
The Halloween (1978 to 2022) actress, who could be referring to the Terminator (1984 to 2019) actor as the “Greatest Of All Time”, also posted a photo of her hugging a goat.
Curtis, who was named Best Supporting Actress at the 2023 Academy Awards for the film Everything Everywhere All At Once, posted a photo of herself with Schwarzenegger and chef Hans Rockenwagner.
Schwarzenegger, 76, and Curtis, 64, played husband and wife Harry and Helen Tasker in True Lies.
The film, written and directed by James Cameron, grossed USD378 million worldwide at the box office, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 1994.
Curtis won Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical for the role at the Golden Globe Awards in 1995, while the film was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards in 1995.
Curtis and Schwarzenegger, who have not acted together in a movie since True Lies, last reunited in October 2022 at her hand-and-footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
The two shared a friendly kiss as the former California governor called Curtis the “most extraordinary actress” who could “kick some serious (backside)”, referring to her performance in True Lies.
