The new movie marks a full-circle moment for Hendrix and Lohan, who first shared the screen in 1998's 'The Parent Trap,' a remake of the original 1961 film. 'I love Lindsay so much, and we had such a special experience together,' Hendrix, 54, told The Post. 'None of us could have predicted what 'The Parent Trap' became. All we knew was that we were on this very beautiful, lavish movie set, playing these incredible characters in this very beloved story.' It starred Lohan as Hallie Parker and Annie James, long-lost twins who meet at summer camp and secretly swap places to reunite their divorced parents, Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid) and Elizabeth James (the late Natasha Richardson).

Reuniting with Lohan for 'Freakier Friday' brought a fresh layer of nostalgia. 'Here we are, all these years later, still in the business… she was a kid, now we're both adults, and we're staying in touch,' Hendrix said.

The pair staged an off-screen reunion at the film's world premiere in Los Angeles on July 22 — this time, bringing 'Parent Trap' co-star Lisa Ann Walter into the mix. Walter, 61, played Chessy, the feisty housekeeper to Quaid's Nick, in the Disney classic. For Hendrix, however, the night was first and foremost about celebrating Lohan.

'Because there is so much love for 'The Parent Trap,' I'm sure people would want that,' she added, acknowledging the nostalgia surrounding the film. 'But I also didn't want it to take anything away from what she was experiencing that night.' Walter accompanied Hendrix to the premiere as her date — 'because she's my bestie,' Hendrix said. The duo were posing for photos when the unexpected happened. 'The next thing I know, someone's saying, 'Hey, we want to do a photo with the two of you and Lindsay. And we were like, 'Okay,'' she explained. Advertisement 10 The cast of 'Freakier Friday' at the film's premiere in New York City.
