Lindsay Lohan Just Had a ‘Parent Trap’ Reunion at the ‘Freakier Friday’ Premiere and We’re Obsessed

This iconic trio was a beloved part of our childhood—and now our adulthood, as well.

On Tuesday night, the world premiere of Freakier Friday—the sequel to the 2003 comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis—ensued at Los Angeles’s El Capitan Theatre. And while the cast eagerly gathered in excitement for the screening, before the film hits theaters on Aug. 8, there were two particular guests in attendance that we were appropriately freaking out about.

The guests in question were Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix, who shared the screen with Lohan in The Parent Trap, which debuted in theaters nearly three decades ago in 1998. On the carpet, the duo couldn’t help but gush over their former co-star’s new feat.

“I’m so proud of [Lohan],” Walter told The Hollywood Reporter. “I keep finding myself looking at her [...] Just the light that’s coming out of her now as a mom and a grown woman is so beautiful.”

Hendrix, who is breifly featured in Freakier Friday, also chatted about what it was like working with her former co-star 27 years later. Lohan, now 39 years old, was just 12 in The Parent Trap with Hendrix.

“I hadn’t seen her since she was a little girl, except, you know, growing up in the press, like the rest of the world saw her. But, I had a special inside window into her that no one else did,” Hendrix explained to the outlet. “And so when I came and reunited with her, there [...] was a real sense of familiarity about her. And then there was also like, ‘Oh, you’re a whole different person now!’ She’s had a whole life since I had seen her.”

And while time has passed, Lohan herself noted that there are some things that will never change.

“I still feel like a little girl sometimes,” Lohan told Entertainment Tonight on her relationship with the duo. “When you’re so young and you grew up with these people, you experience real life with them as well. And when you stay in contact [...] you feel like you’re always together, in a way.”

The actress’s Freakier Friday co-star Curtis concurred, citing their own relationship since the first film’s 2003 inception as proof.

“Lindsay and I have been in each other’s lives since we made [the first] movie,” Curtis told PEOPLE. “We’ve both been through hard things, ’cause we’re alive and life is hard. And we’re not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.”

It’s because of this friendship that a trilogy of Freaky Friday films may be on the horizon—although we’ll just be getting our popcorn ready for the sequel for now.

“So Lindsay Lohan, 20 years from now, Freakiest Friday —you in?" Curtis joked. Her co-star confirmed, “I’m in.”
