Claim to Fame: Oscar Winner’s Nephew Sent Home in Jaw-Dropping Reveal

One of Hollywood's most famous scream queens just slayed on Claim to Fame.
During the ABC reality competition series' July 24 episode, Miguel was sent home after his fellow contestants became suspicious of his nefarious game play. And when it came time to reveal his celebrity relative, no one—including hosts Kevin Jonas and Franklin Jonas—expected it to be an Oscar-winning film legend.
"Hi everybody, it’s Jamie Lee Curtis," the Halloween star shared during a send-off video message. "And you guessed it: This is my lovely nephew, Raphael Curtis."
As it turned out, Raphael—whose mom is Tony Curtis' daughter Allegra Curtis and the half-sister of Jamie Lee—had been trying to trick his competitors all along.
"First of all, my name is not Miguel," he finally revealed, "that’s my second name. My first name’s Raphael."
But when it came to sharing insight into his special bond with the iconic actress, Raphael was nearly brought to tears while detailing Jamie Lee's ongoing support.
"That's my beloved auntie," he shared with the cast. "She has been the saving grace for the past two years ever since my mom ended up in the hospital. She’s been doing nothing but taking care of me and her financially, especially when it came down to some very, very, very difficult times."
"She is such an incredible aunt," he added, "and I could not wish for anyone better in my life."
And despite not winning the $100,000 prize, Raphael had no regrets.
"I think that Jamie’s definitely gonna think that I could have played it a little better, probably played it a little smarter," he said in a confessional. "But I loved playing in it and I didn’t go down without a fight."
Keep reading to see all the celebrity relatives who have been revealed this season. Plus, find out who's still in the game.
Claim to Fame airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
During the season three premiere, Bianca was revealed to be the niece of longtime Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts.
Gracie Lou, whose real name is just Gracie, tried to convince her competitors she was from Tennessee, but was ultimately uncovered to be Jon Cryer's niece.
Jill was revealed to be the niece of Full House star John Stamos.
Miguel, whose real name is actually Raphael Curtis, is the newphew of Oscar-winning Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis.
