Similarly, Jamie Lee Curtis has supported her son in his fight against the orthodox measures of sexuality and normality set by our society.

Who Is Jamie Curtis?
Jamie Lee Curtis is a 64 years old actress who rose to fame for her exceptional performances in Hollywood movies ‘Halloween,’ ‘Fangoria,’ ‘Mother’s Boys,’ and ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once.’
She was born on 22 November 1958 to actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. She also has a star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
Curtis tied the knot with the famous screenwriter, director, and comedian Christopher Guest in 1984. After many failed attempts to conceive naturally, the couple decided to adopt two children. They finally became parents to the boy Thomas Guest and the girl Annie Guest through adoption because they faced fertility issues.
Mother Of Thomas Guest Breaking All The Barriers
Although Jamie Curtis is not the biological mother of Thomas and Annie, she has always loved them unconditionally. She said in an interview that her life changed after she became a mother.
The BAFTA Award winner also admitted that she chooses her roles carefully now because she is more concerned about her children.
She has been a very opinionated woman throughout her career, and it is obvious that she would leave no stone unturned in helping her own son, who was facing serious issues in his personal life.
Curtis realized that her son Thomas was not straight at an early age. Being an optimistic mother, she never forced his son to behave normally and decompress his inner instincts.
Rather she projected that society should have no concern with the sexuality of a person. That is why his son got the courage to come in front of the world with a new identity.

He was born in California in March 1996. After getting adopted by renowned Hollywood professionals Jamie Curtiz and Christopher Guest, he lived a lavish life. Thomas attended Mary Hardin-Baylor University after completing his early education at Santa Monica High School.
Professional Career
Son of the Halloween star usually prefers to stay away from the eyes of media and netizens. However, several people still stalk him because of his association with renowned actress Jamie Curtis.
After completing his graduation in 2015, Thomas started his professional career as a video game editor.
He seldom appears at public events and award ceremonies along with his mother and even starred in two television shows, ‘World of Warcraft: Looking for Group’ and ‘Game Grumps.’ It is evident that the acting field did not appeal to him, and he chose to be a gamer instead.

Struggles During Transformation

She believes that a person should be free to choose his own identity. Consequently, Thomas did not have difficulty deciding what he wanted to be in life.
The Scream Queens actress revealed the identity of her transgender son, Thomas Guest, during an interview in July 2021.
