Jamie Lee Curtis has proved she’s still got it, not that it was ever in any doubt that she hadn’t. The 66-year-old had some fun recreating one of the famous scenes from the movie Perfect, demonstrating that she has the same fun spirit as when she was in her twenties.

In the 1985 rom-com she starred in alongside John Travolta, 70, their characters met at an aerobics class. In one of the early scenes, gym instructor Jessie (Jamie) meets journalist Adam (John), who is writing an exposé on fitness clubs. Rather than communicate with any words, he simply joins her class which features some rather suggestive routines. Adam seems to quickly forget his assignment, and is instead focused on looking in Jessie’s direction as he copies the moves.

 [BGUK_3122197 - Los Angeles, CA - Jamie Lee Curtis shows she???s still got it as she pokes fun at her iconic workout scene from the movie Perfect. The Halloween actress donned a leotard to show off her stunning figure at the age of 66 as she starred in a hilarious skit alongside Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. Curtis was on the late night US chat show to promote her latest movie The Last Showgirl when host Fallon brought up the 1995 rom-com she made with John Travolta. In the film Perfect she and Travolta appear in a scene where she???s teaching a dance class ??? and the pair show off their sexy moves. Fallon showed a clip from the original film and then quipped: ???That???s a lot of thrusting!??? as Curtis burst out laughing and admitted: ???It???s a lot!??? Fallon added: ???That scene went on, I???m not kidding, for like five minutes.??? Curtis quipped back: ???No it wasn???t, that scene went on for seven minutes.??? Fallon added: ???Well this very cool, there???s more footage that???s never been seen and I heard you brought it with you tonight.??? Curtis said: ???I have!??? Fallon then played the spoof footage, which featured Curtis in a replica of the outfit she wore in the film and Fallon playing Travolta???s role. And Curtis showed she???s still got an amazing figure and moves as she replicated some of the ???thrusting??? from the film. But then the pair got silly as Fallon, wearing a sweat stained top, whipped out a cell phone and sent a sexy video of himself to Curtis. After blowing him a kiss, she then ordered a pizza ??? while still dancing ??? and proceeded to suggestively eat a slice, again while still dancing. The clip then switched to Fallon who was also eating a slice of pizza. Curtis was then shown holding a tower of champagne glasses and filling them with booze before tipping the champers over herself. Hilariously Fallon then pulled a white dove out of his shorts, which flew away. For the finale, two doctors wheeled in a gurney with a patient under a sheet and Curtis grabbed a defibrillator ??? while still shaking her booty ??? and proceeded to shock the patient back to life. Fallon then joined her and the pair danced together while the ???patient??? also writhed around under the sheet. After the spoof clip ended, Curtis and Fallon were shown in the Tonight Show studio falling about laughing. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.

While the meet cute was standout and has become iconic, partly thanks to the amount of memes it has spawned, the rest of the feature wasn’t too well-received. The film was nominated for three Golden Raspberry Awards, which honours cinematic failures, and has an 18% Rotten Tomatoes rating. However, they’ve got a big defender in their corner – legendary director Quentin Tarantino has previously called the movie ‘greatly underappreciated’.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show, a short clip was played of the movie, and host Jimmy Fallon joked it featured ‘a lot of thrusting’. ‘That scene went on, I’m not kidding, for like five minutes,’ he pointed out, but Jamie quickly corrected him and said it was actually seven.
