Lindsay Lohan has opened up about the ‘fantastic’ experience she had on the set of Freaky Friday 2 alongside co-star and ‘best friend’ Jamie Lee Curtis.
The pair delighted fans with the news that they had officially started filming the highly anticipated sequel on Monday, posting photos and videos from the set of the film.
While plot details are still being kept under wraps, Lindsay, 37, confirmed to Good Morning America that her character, Anna Coleman, will have a daughter in the new film — and revealed that she had to take guitar lessons to get into the character.
“Well, I can’t say much, but I’m taking guitar lessons and I have a daughter in the movies,” she said.
‘It’s really going to be a Freaky Friday. Much crazier than you would expect.’

One thing the Mean Girls star enjoys most is getting the chance to work with her on-screen mother Jamie, 65, again.
“It’s fantastic,” she said. ‘We’re all having so much fun. It’s so great to have that… you always want to have a good time.
“It’s just a lot of love, a lot of fun, a lot of laughter. It’s a great experience.’
She continued: ‘Jamie and I have kept in touch over the years. They always say, if you have a best friend, or someone you’re really close to, and you don’t get to see them for years, but when you do see them again, it’s like you’ve never been apart.
“I think it’s always an incredible thing that women support women.”
The stars reprise their iconic mother-daughter roles from the 2003 film, 21 years after the original film became a classic.
Their first photos from the Walt Disney Studios set even gave a subtle nod to the comedy’s premise: a mother and daughter body swap.
Jamie sticks her tongue out as she throws up the rock ‘n’ roll sign, while Lindsay sits up and smiles sweetly at the camera.
The studio captioned the photo: ‘The Colemans are back and coming to theaters in 2025! The sequel to Freaky Friday is now in production!’
Fans flocked to the comments section to express their excitement, with one X user writing: ‘This is the most iconic reunion in history.’
Another chimed in: “I need Chad Michael Murray back.”
In Freaky Friday, a remake of the 1976 film starring Jodie Foster, the two play straight-talking psychiatrist mother Tess and high school rocker daughter Anna, who eventually switch bodies.

While Disney has yet to share any details about the sequel’s plot, Lindsay took to Instagram to share a post Look behind the scenes when filming.
A video showed a photographer’s camera panning to the Parent Trap star and the Halloween actress posing for photos back to back, poking their heads out of their trailers and sharing a sweet moment as they sat on the steps of the trailer.
She captioned the clip: “We’re back!”
Jamie reposted the photo of herself and her daughter on screen on her Instagram, captioning the photo, “WE ARE CRAZY because the Coleman’s are getting FREAKY AGAIN!”
To make sure fans couldn’t miss the news, she also shared it on her Instagram story, writing: ‘It begins! Get crazy!’
Back in March, Lindsay told People that the sequel to Freaky Friday was “in the works” and that she was “excited to work with Jamie again and see how much further we can get with it.”
“Generally speaking, we talk almost every day, so I think we’re going to have a lot of fun with this,” she said.

And in honor of the film’s twentieth anniversary, the costars spoke with The New York Times about their ‘easy’ friendship.
“We met in an office, read through it and it was a big game-on. I had to let go of every control mechanism and just let it fly,” Jamie recalled. “Lindsay was as fluid as I was. If you watch The Parent Trap, she has a skill as an actor that is really impressive. It was a big job. It was a big production. And our relationship was very easy.”
She added that the fandom started asking when they could expect a second film.
“When I was traveling around the world for Halloween, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday,” Jamie told the outlet. ‘Something really struck a chord. When I got back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘I feel like a movie needs to be made.'”
