Jamie Lee Curtis and Daniel Radcliffe Reunite on TODAY 25 Years After 'The Tailor of Panama'

Curtis recalled telling a young Radcliffe he looked like the boy on the Harry Potter book cover during early outreach from casting.

Overview

  • During a live March 2 TODAY segment in Studio 1A, Curtis invited Radcliffe onto her couch, where they hugged and reminisced on air.
  • The pair said they had not seen each other since he was about ten, when they filmed The Tailor of Panama together.
  • Curtis recounted a set memory that Radcliffe wore a fake tan for the Panama setting and had to stay out of the pool to keep it intact.
  • She said Radcliffe’s mother had already been contacted about a potential seven‑film commitment at the time, which Radcliffe noted he did not yet know about.
  • Radcliffe urged viewers to watch Curtis’s series Scarpetta and was noted for his current Broadway work in Every Brilliant Thing, as later coverage separately revisited industry accounts of Chris Columbus and David Heyman pursuing his Harry Potter casting.
