Can you believe it’s been 20 years since we first watched Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis swap bodies in Freaky Friday? I remember it like it was yesterday: low-rise jeans, flip phones, and all the teenage drama that kept us glued to our screens. Fast forward to today, and we’re gearing up for a sequel, Freakier Friday! This time around, it’s Lohan’s daughter who gets in on the body-swapping action. So, who’s ready to take a stroll down memory lane and catch up on what our favorite characters have been up to since we last saw them? Let’s dive in! 💫
The Comeback of Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan was just 17 when Freaky Friday hit theaters, and wow, did her star power skyrocket after that! 🌟 Following the success of the film, she became a household name, especially with the iconic Mean Girls just a year later. But with fame came the relentless paparazzi and a whirlwind of media scrutiny. It was overwhelming enough for her to step back from the Hollywood spotlight for a while.
Recently though, Lohan is back and better than ever! Not only is she reprising her role as Anna in Freakier Friday, but she’s also made appearances in projects like the Mean Girls musical movie and Netflix hits like Our Little Secret and Irish Wish. Can we get a round of applause for her comeback? 👏 Who else is excited to see her back in action?
Jamie Lee Curtis: A True Icon
Let’s talk about Jamie Lee Curtis, the queen of horror and now a celebrated Oscar winner! 🎉 Before Freaky Friday, she was already a legend, best known for her role as Laurie Strode in the Halloween franchise. Fast forward to 2023, and she snagged an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Talk about a glow-up!
Curtis has continued to charm audiences with her diverse roles and her advocacy for mental health awareness. What do you love most about Jamie? Is it her incredible acting chops, her authenticity, or her fierce spirit? Let’s chat about it!
Where Are the Rest of the Cast Now?
Chad Michael Murray, who played Anna’s crush Jake, has transitioned from heartthrob to seasoned actor. He starred in One Tree Hill and is now seen in the Canadian series Sullivan’s Crossing. Plus, he’s dipped his toes back into Netflix with The Merry Gentlemen and Mother of the Bride. Honestly, this is giving me major nostalgia vibes! 🥰
And then there’s Mark Harmon, who has become synonymous with NCIS. He’s been on that show for 19 seasons and is still narrating for the franchise. Talk about a career milestone! 🎖️
Ryan Malgarini, who played Anna’s little brother Harry, took a break from acting for a bit but is now back with Freakier Friday after a six-year hiatus. Can you believe he’s teaching acting now? So cool!
Christina Vidal, who played Maddie, is still rocking it in Hollywood! She’s been in shows like Primo and The Terminal List. And let’s not forget about Haley Hudson, who started her own band after her role in the movie. Totally love seeing this evolution!
Even the supporting cast has been on their own journeys. Rosalind Chao and Lucille Soong continue to grace our screens with their talents. It’s inspiring to see how everyone has grown and adapted in the ever-changing landscape of Hollywood.
A Bittersweet Farewell
Of course, not everyone from the original film is returning. Some beloved characters are sadly no longer with us, including Harold Gould and Willie Garson. Their contributions to the film and television world will never be forgotten.
As we prepare for Freakier Friday, let’s take a moment to celebrate the journey of this fantastic cast. What are you most excited to see in the sequel? Do you think it will live up to the original? Let’s discuss! 💬✨
