Lindsay Lohan and Chad Michael Murray shared a kiss in Freaky Friday. Did you know that was her first onscreen kiss?
Since it was a stressful situation for the then-teenager, Jamie Lee Curtis, Murray, and the producers had a meeting to make it less stressful for her. So the Hollywood legacy, with three decades of experience at the time, told them to practice their kiss there and get it over with so that it would not be as nerve-racking when the director yelled, “Action.”
However, since she was about 16, she was still nervous to kiss the good-looking 21-year-old.
So, what were they going to do to make her more comfortable? Curtis turned to Murray and asked if he was good. Of course, he said yes. And then she put her lips on where he just said yes.
That broke the ice, and Lohan’s first kiss was not as stressful. And Murray’s dad is still jealous of his son to this day.
You can say that the three had a Freaky Friday moment because Curtis substituted for Lohan, or had Lohan already switched bodies with Curtis so that she could kiss her co-star in both bodies?
Murray learned a very important lesson in that moment. He told the Good Morning America anchors, “It set up me for a lot more comfortability working with her, working with everybody because you realized, ‘We’re just making a movie. Let’s go have some fun. And let’s not be so serious. Let’s have a riot.'”
Curtis hasn’t changed. Murray said that when all the actors went into the table read for Freakier Friday, the Oscar winner came up with a way to make it less confusing because there are four of them switching places in the sequel. What was it? She gave Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, and herself hats, so that everyone knew who was who at that moment in the movie. It worked, and it made things a lot less confusing.
Janet Leigh did a great job preparing her daughter for Hollywood and acting, so that she could do the same for the next generations of actors. We need more actors like the late legend and her talented daughter.
One last note, I wouldn’t mind having the One Tree Hill star as my first onscreen kiss! Would you?
Tonight was the premiere of Freakier Friday in Hollywood. However, things got freaky on the purple carpet when Lindsay Lohan had a Parent Trap reunion with Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix.
While Walter and Hendrix have remained best friends throughout the years, this is the first time that they were photographed with Lohan (Aren’t they missing a Lohan sister?) since their movie was released 27 years ago. Can you believe it has been that long? They all still look so beautiful.
You know? If Freaky Friday could get a sequel, why can’t Parent Trap? Maybe the sisters, who each have identical twin daughters, stop speaking, and their girls meet up for the first time, and reunite their mother and aunt. Would you go see that movie?
Remember how happy you were watching Freaky Friday as a kid? Well, after watching the trailer for Freakier Friday, I can tell it is going to make us feel just like we did when we saw the first movie 22 years ago. And don’t we need more movies like that?
Freakier Friday, a sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, will be released in theaters on August 8th.

As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.
Are you going to see it in theaters? I know I will! Unless I switch bodies with my cat!
In 2003, we fell in love with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who switch bodies in Freaky Friday.
