She was kind of like another mother figure: Lindsay Lohan on her bond with Jamie Lee Curtis

Lindsay Lohan reflects on her deep bond with Jamie Lee Curtis as they reunite for 'Freakier Friday,' calling her a mother figure during tough times.

"She was kind of like another mother figure to me out here in L.A. – Lindsay Lohan"

Washington DC, July 23

Hollywood stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back together after starring in fantasy comedy film, 'Freaky Friday', for the upcoming movie 'Freakier Friday', according to The Hollywood Reporter.

'Freakier Friday' reunites the duo as mother and daughter Tess and Anna Coleman.

At 'Freakier Friday''s L.A. premiere, Lohan shared that the follow-up movie is "bigger, we have more stories to tell. It's a four-way swap and there's more music and there's a lot more physical comedy than the first one, which I love. Any moment that I can pull a Lucile Ball, I'm down for it."

Lohan and Curtis have been close friends since they worked together, as Lohan shared, "She was there for me at a time of my life when my mom was busy with my siblings, and she was kind of like another mother figure to me out here in L.A. That's kept us pretty tight-knit over time, and we've always just been in contact," as per the outlet.

Curtis added that in working with the 15-year-old Lohan in the first film, "I said to her from day one, 'I want nothing from you except your own peace and serenity. And I am safe, I'm a home base; I don't want anything, I'm not going to ask you to come to anything.'" She continued, "I don't want her to feel transactional with me. I want her to feel love," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lohan said she's "doing a TV show with Hulu that I'm really excited about and I'd like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles. And I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is, and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me."

'Freakier Friday' is an upcoming fantasy comedy film directed by Nisha Ganatra and written by Jordan Weiss. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, it is a sequel to Freaky Friday (2003), which is based on Mary Rodgers's 1972 novel, and the seventh film in the franchise overall. Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Rosalind Chao, Ryan Malgarini, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Lucille Soong reprise their respective roles from the original film, with Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Vanessa Bayer joining the cast.

'Freakier Friday' hits theatres August 8, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Honestly I'm skeptical about sequels after so many years - the original was perfect. But if they're bringing back the same magic with Indian director Nisha Ganatra, might be worth a watch. Fingers crossed!

The original Freaky Friday was my childhood favorite! So nostalgic to see them together again. Reminds me of Bollywood sequels like Golmaal series - sometimes they work, sometimes not. Hope this one delivers!

Interesting to see Maitreyi Ramakrishnan in the cast! After Never Have I Ever, it's great she's getting more Hollywood opportunities. Representation matters - hope we see more South Asian actors in mainstream films.

The mother-daughter bond theme resonates so much with our Indian family values. Though I wish Bollywood would make more original content instead of remakes, Hollywood at least waits 20 years for sequels! 😅
