Jamie Lee Curtis opens up about keeping in touch with Lindsay Lohan after Freaky Friday

Jamie Lee Curtis likes to maintain friendly relationships with all her co-actors. Jamie felt it was "important" to stay in touch with Lindsay Lohan after they first worked together.

The 66-year-old actor 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, reports Female First UK.

Speaking to People magazine, 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”.

She further mentioned, "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 comes 22 years after Freaky Friday and is all set to hit theatres this year. 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 film 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 actor has enjoyed a hugely successful career in Hollywood, but Jamie insists she's not very picky about her film projects.

Cast members returning for Freakier Friday also include Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao. The new cast members on Freakier Friday are Julia Butters, Jordan E Cooper, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Sophia Hammons.

Directed by Nisha Ganatra from a script by Jordan Weiss, the much-awaited sequel to the 2003 fantasy comedy film, Freakier Friday is slated for a release in theatres on August 8, 2025.
