Spoilers ahead for Freakier Friday.
The Freakier Friday release of course has Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reuniting on the big screen as mother and daughter over 20 years later for another hilarious body swap comedy. But, did you know that within the movie Lohan also gets to work with one of her The Parent Trap co-stars? When the latest trailer for the sequel dropped last month, eagle-eyed fans noticed Elaine Hendrix briefly makes an appearance, and I had know how they made it happen.
I Asked Lindsay Lohan How Freakier Friday’s Parent Trap Reunion Came Together
which was honestly Oscar-worthy given I and many people thought Lohan really was a twin when it came out). As the actress shared during our interview, the Freakier Friday director is friends with Hendrix, and the decision was made sort of on a “whim”. When I asked Lohan if she’s stayed in contact with Hendrix over the years, she said this:
So we just actually were talking yesterday, so it’s funny that you brought her up. A friend of hers is doing a production of something having to do with the Parent Trap in New York they’re doing… I love Elaine.
Lohan is talking about an off-Broadway The Parent Trap musical parody called Ginger Twinsies that is currently playing at the Orpheum Theatre from director Kevin Zak. Per an Instagram post from last month, Elaine Hendrix actually joined the producing team of the show.
