Washington [US], December 13 : Actor Jamie Lee Curtis opened up about being married to Christopher Guest for nearly 40 years and shared that she is in disbelief over the longevity of her marriage, reported People.
"But look at me: I'm like the most immature ask your crew, I'm like the most immature guest you've ever had. So how is it possible that I am married for 40 years? I don't understand it," she said.
She appeared on the Today show to promote her roles in The Sticky and The Last Showgirl.
On the talk show, she talked about the happiness that Guest continues to bring to her life as they approach their 40th anniversary which is on December 18.

Co-host Hoda Kotb then asked her about what keeps them together.
"Do you guys just keep growing together? What is it?" Kotb asked Curtis, reported People.
"You know what, it is that," she said. "Ultimately, Chris wasn't a director when I married him, I wasn't a writer. Chris wasn't a producer when I married him, I wasn't a producer when he married me. We have grown into these new jobs that we've done," she added.
