Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, the stars of the popular 2003 American comedy Freaky Friday, are planning a sequel two decades after the film's release. The duo recently reminisced about their time on the movie set in an interview with The New York Times to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the movie. "As an 11-year-old, The Parent Trap felt so big to me. I threw myself into everything: accents, green screens, playing two people. So I felt comfortable after that. Freaky Friday felt different because I was going through all of the phases of a 16-year-old ," Lohan confessed to the news outlet. "This was the era of Avril Lavigne and punk, and I wanted to experience it. We did white stripes in my hair. I put Tracy Cunningham through hell because I took my nice red hair and just bleached it."

The 64-year-old was in the middle of a book tour when she was offered the part and thus had few days to arrive on the set. "Had I had all the time in the world to prepare, I don't think it would've been so good. I just had to be in my body," Curtis confessed to the news outlet. "I was also newly sober, and I was able to have a community within the movie-work world. That was a big deal for me."
