[News] Lindsay Lohan on motherhood, acting again and the Freaky Friday sequel

[FRIDAY THE 13]

 

The film consolidates Lohan's return to Hollywood - she was absent for much of the 2010s and made her return to the big screen in 2022 with Falling for Christmas.

This is her first film with Disney in more than a decade but is probably not the last as she says if fans love Freakier Friday they could expect the freakiest of sequels.

The star, who rose to fame in the Parent Trap, tells me that she was not nervous about returning to acting as she loves what she does "and I know that always shows through in my work".

She adds that her return to acting was all about finding the right time, and the 39-year-old has had a busy few years having married financier Bader Shammas in 2022 and borne a son a year later.

She says being a parent has given her a new perspective on the mother-child relationship in the film and helped her to relate more to it.

"When you become a mum, your whole life changes and it's important to be able to balance work and being a mum which is definitely a learning process."

Lohan has been in the public eye for almost three decades and had a turbulent time in her 20s - she was arrested a number of times for various offenses and spent time in rehab on various occasions.

She tells the BBC that looking back she would tell her younger self to not rush and "just slow down and breathe because it's all coming".
