FREAKY FRIDAY Frenzy: Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan Reunite for Sequel Premiere

The streets of Hollywood were abuzz with excitement as the dynamic duo, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, brought back the magic of Freaky Friday at the world premiere of the highly anticipated sequel. The event, held at El Capitan Theatre on Tuesday, was a star-studded affair that saw the two leading ladies, both 66, stun in their respective styles.

Jamie Lee Curtis, looking absolutely radiant in her bright red mini dress, paired with nude stiletto heels and a glamorous makeup look, proved that age is just a number. The Hollywood veteran, known for her iconic roles in films like Halloween and Trading Places, brought her signature charm to the red carpet. Her co-star Lindsay Lohan, meanwhile, opted for a sleek black jumpsuit that showcased her toned physique.

The highly anticipated sequel sees Jamie Lee Curtis reprise her role as Tess Coleman, a mother who magically switches bodies with her teenage daughter (played by Lindsay Lohan) once again. The film, which marks Lindsay's first theatrically released leading role in 18 years, promises to be a wild ride filled with quadruple chaos.

In an exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com, Jamie Lee Curtis opened up about her experience working with Lindsay Lohan on both films. "I know I can trust her," she gushed. "I can't say that about a lot of people. I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her." The actress also shared her thoughts on the importance of feeling safe around others, stating, "Safe" is a very important word to me. I have to feel safe around people."

Lindsay Lohan, who has been open about her struggles in the past, including six court-ordered rehab stints and other Hollywood wild child antics, seems to have turned over a new leaf. The actress's cameo appearance in last year's musical remake of Mean Girls reportedly earned her $500,000, a far cry from her paltry salary of $550,000 for the original Freaky Friday.

The news that Lindsay Lohan's paycheck for the 2003 film has recently resurfaced has left fans stunned. Despite the massive success of the film, earning over $160 million on a $26 million budget, Lohan's salary was reportedly a mere fraction of that amount. However, by the time she filmed 2004's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, her salary had nearly doubled to a reported $1 million.

The sequel to Freaky Friday promises to be just as thrilling as its predecessor, with a huge twist involving Gen Z teenage girls that spells chaos for all involved. This time around, Lindsay Lohan's character Anna is preparing to tie the knot with Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teen girl Lily (Sophia Hammons).

As the two leading ladies of Freaky Friday brought back the magic of their iconic film, fans were treated to a night to remember. With its star-studded cast and thrilling plot twists, this sequel is sure to be a box office hit. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming film!

Curtis told People on Tuesday: 'I know I can trust her. I can't say that about a lot of people. I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her. We've both been through hard things'

She continued: 'And we're not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected'

Lohan added: '
