Gilberto on getting selected for the role and the bullying that followed
Courtney recalled all of the things that went down when she was cast in 'The Parent Trap'. During an interview with People, the actress revealed that she had to go to multiple auditions for the role, which ended up demotivating her a lot. She also talked about how her agent at the time also gave up hope, especially due to the fact that her height had been pointed out as an issue.
She shared, 'I was tall, and when they did a height check, it kept coming up that my height wouldn't match up with Lindsay [Lohan's].
Then I randomly got a call saying the casting director wanted me to come in'.
The actress also later revealed that although she did not think much of it, after the movie was released theatrically, she ended up getting bullied for it. While talking about her role, she shared that at the age of 11, she was just 'really happy' about the opportunity to film a Hollywood movie.
She added, however, that she would get bullied after the film was released.
She shared that she was "picked on and got bullied so bad about it, really up until like high school'.
Courtney on her friendship with Lohan
Courtney also shared that while on the sets of 'The Parent Trap', she and
ended up becoming good friends at the time. She shared that since both of their families were from New York, they used to hang out all the time and managed to become really good friends.
This bond, however, did not last as long as Gilberto thought it would. Citing a lack of technology, the star revealed that the two could not keep in contact and lost touch over the years after the film was released. "We weren't online like that yet, in that sense, so we didn't really have the option to stay in touch on our own. And Lindsay's mom was really focused on making her a star', she shared.

"Whenever that day comes," said Gomez added "I do know I don't want a big cake." Rather, she shared that she prefers a smaller and more intimate dessert, reserved for herself and Blanco. Gomez added, "I think I'd want a mini one for just us that we can freeze." Gomez revealed that her "preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy." But not just anyone's recipe, "My Nana's biscuits and gravy," she said. "That sounds like dessert to me." Despite Gomez's recent dessert-dishing, she and Blanco, who got engaged in December 2024, have "not yet" begun planning their wedding, the music producer previously revealed, reported People. During the July 10 episode of the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, Blanco shared that the couple have not started wedding planning because they "both need to chill" and have "both been working so much."

Then I had all her candies and Hot Cheetos," said Blanco. "Even if you're terrible at cooking, your partner will like it because you did it," he shared, adding,. "Ask your partner what they want to eat. Don't try to cook them what you want to eat. If you don't know how to cook it -- learn it," reported People.
