FREAKY FRIDAY REBOOT: JAMIE LEE CURTIS DROPS BOMBSHELL ON THE ONE SHOW
It's been 22 long years since we last saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan switching bodies in the iconic comedy Freaky Friday, but the wait is finally over! The highly anticipated sequel, titled Freakier Friday, has hit theaters, and we can't get enough of it. But what really went down behind the scenes? Let's dive into the juicy details.
The latest installment sees Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Tess Coleman, the lovable but quirky mom who finds herself in the body of a teenage girl, while Lindsay Lohan reprises her role as Anna Coleman, the rebellious teenager who switches places with her mom. But this time around, it's quadruple chaos as four main characters switch bodies: Anna (Lindsay) and her daughter Harper (Julia Butters), Tess (Jamie Lee) and Anna's step-daughter Lily (Sophia Hammons).
But what's really fascinating is the behind-the-scenes story of how Freakier Friday came to be. Jamie Lee Curtis recently spilled some tea on The One Show, revealing that Lindsay Lohan had to wait until she was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work. "The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter," Jamie revealed. "People would ask me about the movie over and over again." And finally, someone told her the answer she'd been waiting for: Lindsay was indeed old enough.
But what really got our attention was Jamie Lee's admission that she had always wanted to make another Freaky Friday movie. "I've long had my eye on a follow-up," she said. And it looks like all that patience paid off, because Freakier Friday is everything we dreamed of and more.
The movie follows the Coleman family as they navigate their new bodies and try to find each other in the midst of chaos. Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are getting complicated fast, especially when her teenage daughter Harper despises Eric's teenager Lily. In one hilarious scene, we see Harper reciting mock wedding vows, branding her soon-to-be step-sister a "little demon thing with an obnoxious accent."
But the real magic happens at Anna's bachelorette party, where she and her mom Tess sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer) who warns them that they may learn another lesson by "walking in each other's paths." And boy, does she have any idea! The next morning, Anna discovers she's swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess is now in the body of Anna's step-daughter Lily. It's quadruple chaos, folks!
And if all this wasn't enough, Chad Michael Murray is back as Jake, the lovable but pesky teenage boy who hatches a plot to get Anna and her mom to reunite with their first loves amidst the wedding chaos.
We can't help but wonder: what other secrets are hiding behind the scenes of Freakier Friday? Stay tuned for more updates on this wild and wacky ride!
Ashley Roberts Channels Madonna at UK Premiere
And while we were busy geeking out over the Freaky Friday sequel, Ashley Roberts was slaying the purple carpet at the UK premiere. The former Pussycat doll channeled her inner Material Girl in a figure-hugging red satin dress that's eerily reminiscent of Madonna's iconic conical bra look from the 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour.
Ashley added inches to her frame with a pair of black strappy heels and finished off the look with an elegant updo, complete with a chic middle part. We can't get enough of this bold and sassy style!
