After engaging in witty repartee and laughs about how the interviewer unintentionally referenced the film’s name by asking the stars how the sequel is “freakier” than the original, Lohan shared some highlights. “It is freakier. There’s different kinds of switches,” she began.

Seconds after Lohan had shared that Anna Coleman is a mother of a teenager, Curtis interjected to divulge, “That makes me a grandma.” Finishing her statement, after being interrupted by Curtis, the “Mean Girls” actress added, “So that’s already a freaky scene.”
Amid the discussion, the co-stars were also asked if “Freakier Friday” would see them switch bodies again like they did in the original. In a swift response, Curtis stated that they would not be divulging any information about who will be switching with whom this time around.

Curtis did, however, mention that the movie features several exciting cameos from other actors, which she described as “great” and “funny,” after Lohan had already dubbed them so.
The “Halloween Ends” talent went on to describe how smitten the women, in particular, were with Chad Michael Murray’s cameo. Murray played the rebel heartthrob in “Freaky Friday,” who was Lohan’s love interest.

Trying to add to the conversation again, Lohan jumps in with, “We have some really funny scenes—” “Really funny, he’s so great,” Curtis interjects before Lohan gets to finish saying, “—the two of us with Chad.”

A portion of the interview proceeds this way—with Lohan beginning to say something just as Curtis jumps in to either add something else or echo Lohan in another way. The Facebook clip ends with Curtis swooning, “It’s special. And it’s super special to be back here with Lindsay.”
Upon seeing this clip and the full interview shared on YouTube, many expressed their qualms with Curtis. They were put off by the iconic actress’ behavior, noting how she often interrupted her beloved castmate.
“I like Jamie, but she talks over people to get her point across, it’s really selfish and annoying…I know she’s sober, but she’s always hyper, tone it down Jamie. Relax ,” commented a netizen on Facebook.

Echoing the sentiment, another admirer penned, “Lindsay looks really beautiful ❤️.” “Lindsay looks phenomenal,” swooned someone else. “Love these 2 ladies❤️ I’ll always watch anything they are in!” exclaimed another.
