Jamie Lee Curtis felt it was 'important' to keep in contact with Lindsay Lohan
Jamie Lee Curtis felt it was "important" to stay in touch with Lindsay Lohan after they first worked together.
The 66-year-old actress starred alongside Lindsay, 38, in 'Freaky Friday', the 2003 comedy movie, and Jamie was always determined to keep in touch with her younger co-star.
Speaking to People, the Hollywood star explained: "Lindsay was 15, and as she's matured, we've stayed in contact our whole lives.
"I think it's important, particularly with someone who is young in the movie business, if you connect with them, you have to let them know it's real. There's R-E-E-L life, and then there's R-E-A-L life.
"I wanted her to understand that there was a bridge and that I was real, and that she always could be real with me. And she was.
"Through the course of her young life, we've stayed in contact."
'Freakier Friday' - the much-anticipated sequel to 'Freaky Friday' - is slated for release later this year.
And Jamie has explained how her meeting Lindsay and her 22-month-old son, Luai, prompted Disney to give 'Freakier Friday' the go-ahead.
The veteran movie star - whose other film credits include projects like 'Halloween' and 'A Fish Called Wanda' - explained: "Now she is a mommy.
"It was her visiting me, bringing her baby to visit me, that led to a picture of the two of us that I posted, and then the floodgate of people going, 'Oh my God, oh my God,' and then me calling Disney, going, 'Hi! Lindsay's old enough to have a teenager. Let's go!' And then they did."
Meanwhile, Jamie recently confessed that she's "not that particular" about her career choices.
The actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career in Hollywood, but Jamie insists she's not very picky about her film projects.
She told Us Weekly: "Usually, if a part comes to me, there's a reason. It's not random.
"I don't believe you'll be seeing me playing Lady Macbeth. I don't think you're going to see Lady Macbeth in my filmography."
Jamie loves working in the film industry, admitting that she has "no complaints" about her work life.
She said: "I pretty much do the work that comes to me … I love my life."

Chris Evans shares details of marriage proposal to Alba Baptista
Chris Evans thinks he "screwed up" his marriage proposal. The 43-year-old actor spent time learning how to ask Alba Baptista for her hand in marriage in her native Portuguese, and though he learned the right phrase, he was so "nervous" when the big moment came, he isn't convinced he said the correct words. Speaking to The Knot, Chris - who has been married for two years - said: 'I proposed to my wife in Portuguese. She's Portuguese, so I learned how to say, 'Will you marry me?' in Portuguese. I had practiced it all week... 'I got really nervous when it came time to do it. I actually think I screwed it up, but I still know it.' The Materialists star feared he would ruin his own proposal in the days leading up to it because he had spent so much time practising what he needed to say. He admitted: 'I had practiced it so much that while I'd be making breakfast and you almost just start saying it out loud. Like, 'Oh God, that's not just a song that's stuck in my head! It's gonna let the cat out of the bag.'' Chris and Alba didn't formally announce their engagement before tying the knot after two years of dating, but the Avengers: Endgame star later revealed they had two "wonderful and beautiful" wedding ceremonies. Speaking at New York Comic Con in 2023, he said: 'It was really, really great. We kinda had two ceremonies. We had one on the East Coast. We did one in Portugal. 'They were wonderful and beautiful. It's a lot of planning a wedding. For those of you who are married, it takes a lot out of you. Now that we're through that, we've just kinda been enjoying life, gearing up for autumn, my favorite season. It's, like, the best time of year right now. Now we're just relaxing and enjoying life and reflecting.' The Hollywood star has previously spoken about his desire to become a dad one day, admitting that "building a family" is one of his long-term ambitions. Speaking to People magazine, Chris shared: "That's absolutely something I want. "Wife, kids, building a family. When you read about most of the best artists, whether it's actors, painters, writers, most of them [admit] it wasn't the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships, the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared. "Those things are the most important. I love the idea of tradition and ceremony, I had a lot of that in my life so the idea of creating that, I can't think of anything better."

Miley Cyrus is now allowed to perform her Hannah Montana songs
Miley Cyrus is now allowed to perform songs from her Hannah Montana days. The 32-year-old pop superstar famously broke away from the wholesome image she had created on the musical Disney Channel series when it came to an end in the early 2010s, and was forbidden to perform songs from its soundtrack until the corporation named her a Disney Legend. Speaking on the Every Single Album podcast, she explained: "After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the Hannah Montana music. "It's not like I wanted to. I mean, performing The Best of Both Worlds between We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball wouldn't have really made sense. "But after being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool." Hannah Montana followed the adventures of a schoolgirl who lived a double life as a world-famous pop star. It ran for four seasons from 2006 until 2011 and a cinematic film was released in 2009. Each season and the movie spawned a top-selling soundtrack featuring original songs, and The Best of Both Worlds Tour took place in 2007. The Climb - which was featured in the final scene of Hannah Montana: The Movie and released under her own name - is the only track from the franchise that Miley has performed in recent years. Upon her acceptance of the Disney Legend honour towards the end of last year, the Easy Lover hitmaker insisted that she was "proud" to have starred as the fictional pop star as she referenced a track from the initial soundtrack. She said: "I had gotten a taste of what my life could be, and from that moment on, I did not want anything else. " "A little bit of everything has changed, ... but at the same time, nothing has changed at all. "I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana." "IIn so many ways, this award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, 'This is the life.'"

Tom Daley speaks out about his father's death as he admits he 'didn't know who to turn to'
Tom Daley "didn't know who to turn to" when his dad died. The 31-year-old Olympian lost his father, Robert, to a brain tumour more than a decade ago, but he is sure that his dad is still "supporting" him with everything as he goes on in his life and career. He told People: "When he was gone from my life, I didn't really know who to turn to or who to talk to about lots of things. "There wasn't really anyone that would bring it out of me, because my dad was always someone who kind of knew exactly what I was thinking and how I was feeling and knew how to fix it. "He supports me all the way, and if I didn't have his support system, I wouldn't be here now 'cause I wouldn't want to carry on." Tom has sons Robbie, six, as well as two-year-old Phoenix with his husband Dustin Lance Black, and recently admitted that losing his dad was one of the "most difficult" things he has ever had to go through but still takes inspiration from his dad when it comes to his parenting style. He said: "I model lots of my parenting and lots of the things that I do every day around what I learned from my dad. He my biggest cheerleader. He was there for every training session, every competition, and he was a huge part of my life, day in, day out. "Losing him was one of the most difficult things that I ever had to deal with." Yet I was dealing with that in a very public way in the U.K. Looking back on all of that footage was quite challenging to watch because I felt really sorry for the younger Tom that I kind of was just carrying on and putting on a brave face, and I didn't ever want to bother anyone with how I was feeling because I didn't want to ever make anyone else feel uncomfortable." Tom has discussed his life and career at length in the new documentary, Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds' but admitted that he initially had reservations about speaking about such personal things on camera. He said: "I wasn't sure about doing it initially. You know what? This is something that I would love to be able to then show my kids in the future and be able to be like, 'Look, this is what Papa did. This is the thing that Papa was doing day in, day out' And the things that I did, and be able to get to know the relationship I had with my dad and all of that stuff."
