The Bear’s Matty Matheson Recalls ‘Crazy’ 1st Encounter With ‘Big Mama’ Jamie Lee Curtis

“It’s crazy,” Matheson, 42, told Variety in an interview published on Thursday, June 27. “The first time I saw Jamie was at the Golden Globes or something, before she came on the second season. We were in the ballroom, and there weren’t a lot of people in there.” 

Matheson said he asked The Bear series creator Christopher Storer, “Can I just go up and say hello to her?”

“And he was like, ‘For sure! Go say what’s up!’” Matheson recalled.
