Back in 2003, Jamie Lee Curtis of “Halloween” fame starred in the Disney adaptation of “Freaky Friday” opposite a teen Lindsay Lohan. In the smash-hit film, the two played a mother-daughter duo who mysteriously swap bodies and must find a way to switch back. Now almost 20 years since the film, Curtis still thinks fondly of Lohan.
Speaking to People, Curtis said she saw Lohan’s Planet Fitness Super Bowl commercial and added, “I’m just happy that she’s happy.” Curtis continued, “She is a great talent, and she’s had a lot on her plate at a very young age.” The actor remarked that the two are still in contact and commended Lohan’s lighthearted nature. “The fact that she can poke fun at herself a little [means] we can all poke fun at ourselves, believe me,” Curtis said. “Show business is very difficult, and being in front of the tabloid press is very difficult, it’s really brutal. So God bless her.” As for Lohan herself, she told Vogue, “I’m comfortable in my own skin: I’ve evolved spiritually, mentally, physically. I’m comfortable poking fun at the past and leaving it there.”
Even before Curtis, Lohan has been praised for her talent, despite her reputation. Lati Grobman, producer of “Labor Pains” in which Lohan stars, told People, “She’s so natural at what she does.” She continued, “The difference between her and the other girls that are naughty in the business is that she’s actually talented.”
