"You know there's that wizened old crone lady...maybe I can be Kureha," she proclaimed, delighting fans around the globe. Her daughter Ruby Guest shared the same enthusiasm, stating on a podcast that Curtis would be perfect for the role. "My mom loves Kureha. I would be 100% for it," she said.

But that's not all! Curtis also confessed her love for the iconic character Tony Tony Chopper and even considered playing Nico Robin, though age differences might be a hindrance.
