Jamie Lee CurtisandLindsay Lohanare ready to revisitFreaky Fridaytwo decades later.
“As an 11-year-old,The Parent Trapfelt so big to me. I threw myself into everything: accents, green screens, playing two people. So I felt comfortable after that.Freaky Fridayfelt different because I was going through all of the phases of a 16-year-old [but playing a character who was a year younger],” recalled Lohan, now 36.
“This was the era of Avril Lavigne and punk, and I wanted to experience it,” she continued. “We did white stripes in my hair. I put [the colorist] Tracy Cunningham through hell because I took my nice red hair and just bleached it.”
Curtis, 64, recalled signing on to the role days before she got to set after another actress dropped out.
“Had I had all the time in the world to prepare, I don’t think it would’ve been so good. I just had to be in my body,” the recent Oscar winner said. “Iwas also newly sober and I was ableto have a community within the movie-work world. That was a big deal for me.”

TheHalloweenactress said that her relationship with Lohan “was very easy” from the start. Lohan remembered that Curtis “immediately took me under her wing.”
“I was so nervous to do my first kiss on camera, so she talked to me in my trailer and made it funny so that I wouldn’t stress about it,” said Lohan.
Curtis shared that her “strongest memory” from the making ofFreaky Fridayinvolved eating fries and singing along toJustin Timberlake.
“My strongest memory is the scene where the two of us are in the car eating french fries. Now, if I get a text out of the blue, ‘Hey, Jamie, it’s Linds,’ I say, ‘Prove it. What was the song we were trying to learn the rap to duringFreaky Friday?’ If she answersJustin Timberlake’s ‘Like I Love You,‘then I know it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
Lohan joked, “Now that you’ve told everyone, we can’t do that anymore. I remember we wanted fresh french fries, and she kept taking all of the good ones.”

She told theNYT, “As I went around the world withHalloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be anotherFreaky Friday. Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’ "
