Lindsay Lohan Drops Nostalgic Photo with Elaine Hendrix After ‘Freakier Friday’ Release originally appeared on Parade.
Fans of The Parent Trap are in for a double dose of nostalgia. Lindsay Lohan and Elaine Hendrix, who famously played rivals in the 1998 remake, have reunited on screen for Lohan’s new film Freakier Friday.
Freakier Friday, the sequel to the 2003 film Freaky Friday, takes place two decades after the first switch. Anna (Lohan) now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the many challenges that come when two families merge, Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna discover that lightning can indeed strike twice.
Hendrix, who played the antagonist Meredith Blake opposite Lohan’s dual role as twins Annie and Hallie in The Parent Trap, makes a cameo in Freakier Friday as Blake Kale, who works for a magazine featuring Anna’s client, pop star Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan). In one scene, Kale even references a famous line from The Parent Trap by addressing Anna as “puss,” which is what Meredith Blake called Annie and Hallie.
On July 24, Hendrix attended the Freakier Friday premiere in Los Angeles and posted her experience on Instagram, writing, “FREAKIER FRIDAY PREMIERE was a dream come true. 💖 Thank you @disney and everyone involved for all the love! ❤️.” She also included a picture of her, Lohan and Lisa Ann Walter in the photo dump.
To mark the film’s release on Friday, Lohan shared a photo dump late on Thursday night that included a smiling selfie of her and Hendrix on the 13th slide.
