Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan‘s mother-daughter-like bond isn’t just for the movie screen.
“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,” the actress recently told People. “There’s R-E-E-L life, and then there’s R-E-A-L life.”
Lohan met Curtis when they filmed ‘Freaky Friday’ in 2003. The ‘Parent Trap’ star, largely known for her Disney movie roles at the time, was 15.
“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,” Curtis added.

She also noted that the two have stayed in contact their “whole lives,” and now their bond is even stronger thanks to the fact that Lohan is now a mom. In fact, Curtis visiting with Lohan’s baby, Luai, born in 2023, is what sparked the idea for a ‘Freaky Friday’ sequel.
“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,” she said.
The upcoming film entitled, ‘Freakier Friday,’ will be in theaters August 8.
