Jamie Lee Curtis admitted that she would love to do a “Freaky Friday” sequel so that Lindsay Lohan can play a “hot grandma.”
The pair starred in the 2003 remake in which a mother and daughter swap bodies and are forced to live each other’s lives. While Curtis has since moved on to bigger movies, she said on “The View” that she’s already reached out to Disney to star in a “Freaky Friday” sequel.
“I’ve already written to Disney, my friends at Disney. I’m in their new ‘Haunted Mansion’ movie,” she said. “Creatively, I’m wide open.”
Curtis went on to say that she is aware that Lohan is back in the acting game with her upcoming Netflix Christmas film, “Falling for Christmas,” so she would love to do a sequel with both Lohan and Mark Harmon, who played Curtis’ love interest in the first movie.
“Let me be the old grandma who switches places,” Curtis said. “So then Lindsay gets to be the sexy grandma who is still happy with Mark Harmon in all the ways you would be happy with Mark Harmon.”
The “Halloween” star continued: “Simply, I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers today. I wanna be a helicopter parent in today’s world, as an old lady.”
Last year, during an interview with Yahoo, Curtis revealed that she still keeps in touch with her “Freaky Friday” costar and even has a secret code with Lohan.
“There’s a song called ‘Like I Love You’ by Justin Timberlake,” Curtis said. “And Lindsay and I were doing a scene in a car and there was a lot of time in between takes. And there’s a rap in the middle of that song by Clipse. She and I were trying to learn the words. And we were like sitting there with a pad.”
She continued: “We were writing them down and then we would do the scene and then we’d play the song and try to lipsync the few words that we knew. I’m telling you, we laughed. And that is my secret code with her. ‘What was the song we were lipsyncing to in the car?'”
Curtis said that she also has “another” secret code with Lohan. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the “Knives Out” star revealed she has secret codes when texting with all her celebrity friends just to make sure she is speaking to them.
