Luke Evans reveals what Timy Curry was like in his final days

Luke Evans has opened up about the touching letter he sent to Timy Curry just before his death.

For those unaware, the 47-year-old actor took on the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter for his Broadway debut—the same character Timy played in the original 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Luke revealed that he wrote a letter to Timy to thank and commend him for his incredibly impressive performance.

"He was very appreciative. I think he was very sick when he got the letter - he was struggling a lot - and I’ve spoken to his publisher since. He struggled to speak and talk, so I think he was really in a bad place, but what a legacy," the Dracula Untold actor said.

“What was very strange was the day that he did die, the news — of all the incredible things he did, and he did many incredible, iconic roles — it always started with the same person: Frank-N-Furter," he continued.

"And I had just played him, so there was this real deep connection that I had, even though I’d never met the man. It was a strange, beautiful, tragic way to end my New York experience, but I’ll never forget it," Luke added.

For those unversed, Timy breathed his last on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80.
