Actually, we’d like to see them trading places
Jamie Lee Curtis thinks it’s swell that father Tony Curtis appeared in Vanity Fair wearing only his briefs. “For my dad to be so brave and put himself out there like he did, it’s the greatest picture of him I’ve ever seen,” she says. “In a weird way, I’ve never been prouder to be his kid.”
