Basically the thread title. In an interview to promote her new movie "Spare Parts", Jamie Lee Curtis mentioned that her son is a hardcore gamer and she is taking him to a "fighting game convention" (clearly Evo) as a high school graduation present. She plays a lot of Street Fighter and of course she mains Cammy. Can't linky properly because I'm on my phone, but here it is: http://www.myfoxdc.com/clip/11047065/fox-beat-jamie-lee-curtis-stars-in-new-film-spare-parts

I'll be curious to see if this brings any more mainstream media attention to the event. How sick would it be if she appeared with her son in one of the interview/hype videos?

Interesting, time to watch True Lies again I suppose. Is she still more ripped than Cammy is?

My eyes got wider and wider reading this thread headline.

What? What!? WHAT!?

Edit Post Having Seen Video In Question

It's really weird listening to people who aren't, you know, like us, talk about games. Makes me shiver a little.

The way Jamie looks at the interviewer like he is a complete tool when he asks if she is a Ryu or Ken person is awesome. I been maining Cammy since you were suckin on your mama's teet boy!

How one person can be so cool is beyond me.

She's so damn cool.

Fuckin Jamie Lee Curtis is and always has been cool. Cammy is and always has been cool. This is two great tastes finally together!

Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

I love Jamie Lee Curtis! So intelligent and cool...and she still looks damn good.

This is one of the weirdest pieces of trivia I've seen lately.

Did you know Jamie Lee Curtis is technically a baroness?

"Taking her kids to a, fighting game convention, whatever that is"

One day video games, one day your day will come.

... How do you know the fantasies of 12 year old me?

Will 2015 finally be the year @jeff attends EVO? He's got an extra reason to do so this time!

Better yet, have @unastrike tag along as well and shoot some material. Hang out with @da5id and everything.

Excloosive gb interview with fg champion/occasional actress jamie lee curtis???

Make it happen. Dan has to do the interview tho.

Jaime Lee Curtis aside, that's pretty damn cool that she plays with her son and also supports his interests (takes him to EVO as a Grad gift).

This is the fuckin' coolest! Awesome to see how she shares an interest with her son!

Did you know that Jamie Lee Curtis has rockin' tits in Trading Places? Is that trivia? I'd like to think so.

Also Trading Places is a pretty good movie.

He is right on both accounts.

This might be the weirdest video game/celebrity pairing I've seen in a long while.

Weird... That would be an awesome gift.

Her reaction to the Ken or Ryu question was the best part. "Get the fuck out of my face with that shit, kid! I'm maining motherfuckin' Cammy, bitch!"

That is the best part.

@lukeweizer: I think her, her son and her husband all play WoW together too. If I'm remembering it right, they all turn up at the end of the 10 year special documentary they put out late last year.

Whatever, that dude knew that she was talking about EVO. He was just holding back his power level. You know he gets all hype 'n shit.

LOL I knew it!

I really thought that comment was going in a different direction.

I didn't know this about her, but somehow I'm not surprised. Very cool!

Some people are just awesome.

Huh, and I thought she was cool before.

Huh. Surprised there isn't an Activia joke in here yet.

...Poop

All of the sodium from getting bodied in Street Fighter really takes a toll on her digestive system, so she needs Activia?....

LOOK MAN, I TRIED

That's always my first thought when I hear her name too

Hah, that's awesome.

Second best horror survivor ever. (sorry Jamie, but Heather Langenkamp wins)

That's all I wanted! You did good, kid!

I got really scared because I thought she was going to slap that guy.

That's cool as fuck.

@starvinggamer, I need you to fix the thread title. Unless this thread is actually about a Spanish dude.

@bisonhero: In my defense, I saw it spelled that way somewhere else while making this thread and thought to myself, "huh, never knew she spelled it that way, weird."

NM, my actions are indefensible. I'm sorry!

You punks better not be making fun of ACTIVIA!!!

Now to be honest, I hope to God that she manages to attend EVO incognito. Or at least people don't swarm her. It sounds like a great opportunity for a celebrity to experience the greatest fighting game tournament in the world, have a positive reaction to it, and potentially speak well of it to others.

What we don't need is a bunch of idiot fans constantly trying to talk to her, get her autograph, or otherwise annoy her, we want the event to be fun for everyone.

I really hope this ends up with a story on the front page of SRK about how Jamie Lee Curtis rolled a bunch of fools in ultra sf4 money matches at EVO.
