Jamie Lee Curtis and Jake Gyllenhaal lived next door to each other during lockdown - a revelation that no one really expected.

Speaking to People at the recent Los Angeles premiere of Guy Ritchie's upcoming thriller The Covenant - which also stars Gyllenhaal, 42 - Curtis, 64, revealed that Gyllenhaal lived next door to her during lockdown with his girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu.

The Oscar-winner told the publication: "We've just gotten to know each other. He also lived with me during COVID for almost a year. He and Jeanne lived in the house next door that I have. And so there was also that. For a minute."

Gyllenhaal - who is also Curtis' godson - clearly had a great time with the Halloween actress, as she added: "He made a lot of sourdough bread, a lot," and that it was "very good."

She said: "So singing, acting, sourdough. And he did that test where you do a handstand against the wall and take your shirt off and put it back on."

Gyllenhaal revealed that he's still continuing to make sourdough, admitting: "I am still eating sourdough. Yes. I haven't stopped. Even though we're out of the pandemic, I am still making sourdough."

As for whether she has some advice for her godson? Curtis said: "I sort of looked at him and said, 'I've done this for a long time. You're just starting. There may be things your parents don't have the experience, strength and hope that I do. Please use that if you need to.'"

Curtis - who won an Oscar for her supporting role in Everything Everywhere All At Once - has been overwhelmed by the response from the public. "When they did the class picture, they called my name first. One moment I was standing up there before anybody else got up there and I looked out going like, 'What is happening to me?' And then to have it end the way it ended, which was also a total surprise and obviously delightful."

"It's been a journey and an unexpected journey, which is the nicest part of the whole thing," she continued.

The veteran actress has been vocal about the ageing process in Hollywood, opening up about her desire to age naturally and without cosmetic enhancements. "Don't mess with your face," the actress declared during an appearance on US morning show Today late last year. "I put Botox in my head. Does Botox make the big wrinkle go away? Yes. But then you look like a plastic figurine."

She also hopes that her children will learn from her experiences, saying: "Walk a mile in my shoes. I have done it. It did not work. And all I see is people now focusing their life on that."
