Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband, Christopher Guest, made a charming appearance at the premiere of her latest film, Ella McCay, in Los Angeles on December 9. This event holds special significance, occurring just days before the couple celebrates their 41st wedding anniversary on December 18.
The beloved couple, who have been married since 1984, posed hand in hand on the red carpet, with Curtis dressed in a stylish all-black outfit and Guest in a classic navy blue suit, complete with black shoes and no tie. Their appearance highlights not just Curtis’s new film, but also the enduring bond they share.
Ella McCay is set to hit theaters on December 12 and features an impressive cast including Emma Mackey, Albert Brooks, Spike Fearn, Woody Harrelson, Rebecca Hall, Julie Kavner, and Ayo Edebiri. Curtis has often reflected on her relationship with Guest, emphasizing his humor as a significant part of their marriage. In a previous interview with AARP The Magazine, she said, “I married the funniest dude on the planet,” acknowledging how his comedic talent can diffuse any tension they might face.
The love story of Curtis and Guest began in 1984, and their connection was swift, with Guest proposing just six months after their first meeting. Curtis once fondly recounted how Guest hinted at his intentions to propose with the question, “Do you like diamonds?” She appreciated the more personal and intimate nature of his actual proposal.
Both Curtis and Guest have continued to engage with their careers this year. Guest made a rare appearance in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, while Curtis delighted audiences in Freakier Friday and the fourth season of The Bear. As they prepare to mark their 41 years together, their journey stands as a testament to enduring love and shared laughter, capturing the hearts of fans and admirers alike.
