In two interviews over the past week, the Everything Everywhere All at Once star wondered why musicians don't perform concerts during the day rather than at night, as she likes to go to bed at a reasonable hour. "I am gonna just say this now as a taunt and as a suggestion. U2, do a matinee. Coldplay, do a matinee. What about a 12 noon concert, Coldplay? What about it?" asked Curtis, 64, while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet on Saturday. "Bruce Springsteen, do a f---ing matinee! You're old! Why wouldn't you let me come see you, Bruce Springsteen, in your glory days — pun intended — and do it at noon or one o'clock? Two o'clock! Two o'clock matinee!" continued the Oscar nominee. "Theatre in New York, two o'clock! I will come and hear your five-hour concert, Bruce, at two o'clock, and I'm gonna be home and in bed by 7:30." Jamie Lee Curtis Declines Oscar Dinner Invite That's Past Her Bedtime: 'Mommy Goes to Bed Early' Jamie Lee Curtis. Amy Sussman/Getty She spoke further on the subject during an interview with Today on Tuesday, letting performers know she's "challenging" them to hold shows "during the day." "Why are there no matinees?" Curtis asked. "For instance, I love Coldplay. I would love to go see Coldplay. The problem is, I'm not gonna go see Coldplay if they start their show at nine o'clock and there's an opening act. I want to hear Coldplay at 1 p.m. I think if we filled a stadium with people who want to see matinee of Coldplay, I think we would start a trend." Elsewhere during her interview with THR, the Freaky Friday actress — who's nominated for best supporting actress at the 2023 Academy Awards — said she recently turned down an invitation to attend this year's Oscar nominees' dinner for a similar reason. "Now you might say, 'Jamie, you're nominated for an Academy Award, you're going to be in the room with only nominees for the Academy Award, and I have declined.' Why? Because mommy goes to bed early," explained Curtis. Close
