Lindsay Lohan has revealed she hasn’t had to audition since her infamous feature film debut in the 1998 version of The Parent Trap.
The actress, 38, casually dropped the bombshell during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, where she also shared a hilarious anecdote from the film’s premiere.
The surprising admission came when Bravo star Andy, 56, asked if there was another role she auditioned for that she didn’t get.
“I mean, the first movie I auditioned for was The Parent Trap, and I didn’t do it. I haven’t auditioned since then,” she said.
Fans were quick to label Lindsay’s reveal as a ‘huge flex’ on social media, with one writing: ‘Queen. They transferred her roles.”
Another said: ‘Not having to audition for roles after 12 years is a huge FLEX.

The actress famously played twins Hallie Parker and Annie James in the 1998 film
‘She did so damn well as the twins in Parent Trap that, honestly, she owes her an Oscar.
‘Lindsay Lohan is a true icon!!!!!’
Echoing a similar sentiment, a third said: ‘That’s because she’s an absolute LEGEND.’
Elsewhere in her chat, Andy asked her about a rumor that a Disney executive asked where her twin sister was at the premiere.
And not only did Lindsay confirm it, but she also revealed that Disney’s then-CEO was Michael Eisner.
“I don’t even know how I thought I said this, but I’ll never forget what I said. I said, ‘Well, you should have paid me double because I don’t have one,'” she said as Andy and the crowd erupted in laughter.
Lindsay played identical twins Hallie Parker and Annie James in Disney’s Parent Trap, who were separated at birth and lived in different countries… until a fateful summer camp brings them together.
“I mean, the first movie I auditioned for was The Parent Trap, and I didn’t do it. I haven’t auditioned since,” Lindsay revealed.

Although the former child star does not have a twin sister in real life, she does have a younger sister, Aliana, who did have a small role in The Parent Trap as “Child at Airport.”
The Parent Trap was a remake of the 1961 film of the same name, in which Hayley Mills played both siblings and Maureen O’Hara and Brian Keith played the parents.
Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson played Lindsay’s parents in the film, whose children devise a plan to bring them back together.
The film, directed by Nancy Meyers, was not a major hit, grossing only $92 million worldwide, although it did help launch Lohan’s career.
