Jennifer Aniston's partner just made every Greek auntie smile. Jim Curtis sat down with Giorgos Satsidis on Happy Day and said out loud what his family tree already knew: he is proud of his Greek roots.


According to ProtoThema, Curtis told the October 16 interview that his father and grandfather's family came from Athens and Lemnos. His father spent much of his youth in Greece before the family moved to Boston. His mother's side is French and Irish, but he said he feels closest to the Greek side.


Asked what he loves most about Greek culture, he pointed to family and passion, the temperament, and the intensity with which Greeks feel things, as To Vima also reported from the same interview.



He is not only talking about Greece from afar. Ticket Services lists Curtis at the Megaron Athens Concert Hall on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 1 p.m. for a 90-minute interactive talk, with a small Meet & Greet afterward.


That story sits next to Jennifer Aniston's own Greece chapter. Her GetGreece profile notes Cretan roots through her father, John Aniston, and a childhood stretch living in Athens and Crete.


So when Curtis steps into the Megaron this November, Athens gets a double hit of Greek Hollywood energy, and Lemnos suddenly has a new famous cousin on the guest list.
