Lindsay Lohan's back — and this time she's the mom in ‘Freakier Friday'
LONDON, Aug 1 — Lindsay Lohan says she drew upon her own experiences of motherhood for Freakier Friday, the highly-anticipated sequel to her hit 2003 movie Freaky Friday. Lohan, 39, welcomed her first child in 2023, a year before the Disney movie was filmed. 'It felt full circle for me, and also the timing was pretty impeccable considering that I'm a new mom and I was able to bring being a mom into the character,' Lohan said at the film's London premiere on Thursday. 'It's the first time I'm able to do that on screen.' Freaky Friday, with a reported budget of US$26 million (RM111 million), was a surprise hit, making over US$160 million worldwide and obtaining a cult following. The 2025 follow-up sees Lohan and actress Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the roles of mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. Twenty years on, Anna is a single parent to tomboy teen daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters. Their relationship comes under stress when Anna falls for Eric (Manny Jacinto), the father of Harper's new British classmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), and they decide to get married. The future stepsisters, with a mutual dislike for one another, decide to intervene. While the 2003 film saw a body swap between Tess and Anna, things get 'freakier' this time around with Tess and Anna switching bodies with Lily and Harper. Before signing on to the sequel, Lohan ensured that Anna returned as a multi-faceted and relatable character. 'It was important to me that we explained who Anna is today and how she's evolved and the dynamic between her and her daughter as she's a single working mom. There are some basic points that I wanted to get across because I want people to see the movie and find a piece of it that they can grab onto and be like, 'okay, I get that',' she said. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie also sees actor Chad Michael Murray reprising the role of young Anna's love interest, Jake. Shooting the sequel was a 'lovefest', said Murray. 'It was the same, but better. It felt very much like connective tissue to the first movie. Everyone loved going to work and no one wanted to go home.' Freakier Friday marks Lohan's big screen return. 'It's obviously nerve-wracking because you want it to be great and you want people to love what you do,' she said. 'As long as people are enjoying what I'm doing and it's making them happy, then I feel like I'm doing my job and that's what I'm here to do.' Freakier Friday begins its global cinematic rollout on August 6. — Reuters

Lindsay Lohan reveals ‘legal' reason she fled Hollywood
Once a staple of Hollywood's limelight, Lindsay Lohan now leads a very different life on the other side of the world — and she has now revealed the reason behind the drastic change. During an interview on Live with Kelly and Mark, Lohan was asked what it is like living in Dubai. 'It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life,' she said.

Lindsay Lohan Recreates Her Iconic 'Freaky Friday' Finale Look
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis attend the 'Freakier Friday' UK Premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on July 31, 2025, in London, England. (Photo by) Nothing plays on our nostalgia quite like our favourite childhood films, and as an icon of that era, Lindsay Lohan is leaning into her greatest hits. More than two decades after Freaky Friday hit screens, she reprises not only her teen role for its sequel, but some of the notable fashion moments from the film, too. On the purple carpet at London's Odeon Luxe Leicester Square for the Freakier Friday premiere, the actress stepped out in a glittering lilac gown. Custom-designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, the dress paid homage to the closing scene look from the original 2003 film. The original outfit—a floral lace cami and matching skirt by Y2K favourite Mandalay—was worn for the wedding of her mother, Tess, played by Jamie Lee Curtis. While it was a feminine curveball from her otherwise punkish on-screen alter ego Anna Coleman, it was given a grungey twist when she stepped on the stage barefoot, guitar in hand and hair out for the finale performance of 'Take Me Away' with her band, Pink Slip. Fast forward two decades, and Lohan's reimagined version is just as iconic.

Wilson/Getty Images) Featuring crystal-studded halter straps, a corseted bustier, and shimmering floral embroidery that nodded directly to the original, the chainmail gown was completed with a rhinestone-studded guitar clutch by Judith Leiber. Stylist Andrew Mukamal—the creative mind behind Margot Robbie's Barbie press tour looks—later confirmed Coleman's closet was very much on the mood board.

(Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage) It's the latest in a string of delightful deep-cuts from Lohan's nostalgic press tour, which has seen nods to The Parent Trap , too. Earlier this week, she even wore a retro-style Pink Slip band tee for a Fallon appearance, paired with Ghesquière-era Balenciagas from her own 2000s archive.

While it's been two decades since the two have portrayed family, they appeared as close as ever.
