As her daughter wishes for a cosplay wedding, the famous Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis is set to appear as a character from World of Warcraft. However, in a talk show, she pretends to be unaware of her character, and the costume might become an issue. Find out all about the story here on MeinMMO!
Who is it about? The renowned Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis (known among other things from Halloween and True Lies) recently appeared on the US late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live. There, she also talked about her youngest daughter Ruby’s upcoming wedding. She and her fiancée wish for a “cosplay wedding.”
Ruby and Cynthia will marry in our garden in May, and I will perform the ceremony. It is a cosplay wedding. That means you wear a costume. You dress up as something.
Each guest would be assigned a role. According to reports, Jamie Lee Curtis is set to appear as the character Jaina Proudmoore from World of Warcraft.
Actress plays dumb about her character
How did she portray her role? However, in the show, the actress pretended that she had no idea what her daughter and future daughter-in-law had planned for her:
Ruby and Cynthia picked out my costume. Her name is Jaina Proudmoore. She is from…? Does anyone here know where she comes from? It’s a game? I don’t know, it’s a game. She is an admiral there.
Apparently, the actress seems to have no idea who she is portraying and doesn’t even know the name of the associated game.
However, that seems more like a cheeky deception and a trollish joke. Because Jamie Lee Curtis has appeared in cosplay several times before. This includes a undead cosplay in 2015 at BlizzCon and in 2016 she attended the premiere of the Warcraft film as a green orc shaman.
So it’s extremely unlikely that she doesn’t know what World of Warcraft is. Also, knowing Jaina’s title as Lord Admiral of Kul Tiras suggests that she knows exactly who she is supposed to portray.
These are the problems with the costume: So it seems unlikely that Jamie Lee Curtis would embarrass herself at the wedding and not know who or what she represents.
Another problem is more obvious. Since Jamie Lee Curtis does not want or cannot make the costume herself, she ordered it from a seamstress on the internet platform Etsy.
This person lives and works in Russia, and therefore it could become problematic to receive the costume in time for the wedding in May due to the current trade sanctions.
Another hint at Jamie Lee Curtis’s gaming affinity is her role in the upcoming Borderlands film. There she is set to play the role of the eccentric and cynical scientist Dr. Tannis.
