Lindsay Lohan talks 'Freaky Friday 2,' friendship with Jamie Lee Curtis and motherhood
Lindsay Lohan is "thrilled" about "Freaky Friday 2."
The actress, who starred in the first film in 2003 alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, opened up to "Good Morning America" about the upcoming project, which was announced earlier this week.
"It's going to be a really freaky Friday," Lohan said. "Much freakier than you would expect."
"It's fantastic," she added about reuniting with the cast. "We all just have so much fun and it's so great to have that on set. You just always really want to have a good time. So it's a lot of love, a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and it's a great experience right now."
When it comes to working with Curtis again, Lohan calls it beautiful and says she's "blessed" to have Curtis in her life.
"Jamie and I have stayed in touch over the years," Lohan said. "They always say when you have a best friend or someone that you're really close with, if you cannot see them for years and years, but when you see them again, it's like you've never separated."
In the "Freaky Friday" sequel, Curtis and Lohan will reprise their roles as mother and daughter Tess and Anna Coleman.
The first film followed Tess and Anna, who switch bodies after receiving cryptic fortunes at a Chinese restaurant.
According to a synopsis for the sequel, the film will have a "multigenerational twist" and "picks up years after Tess and Anna endured an identity crisis."
Lohan added that the film will mirror her own life because her character, Anna, is also a mom.
"I do have a daughter in the movie," she said.
In her own life, Lohan said being a mom to son Luai with her husband Bader Shammas brings her the most joy.
"I'm so grateful for every moment of it, just every second," she said. "Every morning waking up and running to grab my son and just looking at him and when he looks me back in the eyes, just I'm gonna like, get emotional. It's just the most beautiful. I'm just so grateful every day."
Next month marks her son's first birthday and Lohan said she plans to celebrate it with those closest to her.
"I always just want to be with family," she said. "And I feel like, as you get older in life, the less is more. So yeah, just spending it together. And for my son, I don't know. We're gonna do something fun. I'm gonna get him a bouncy house. And it's fun for him."
