Freaky Friday Turns 15 Heres What the Cast Looks Like Today
To rejoice the film now being sufficiently old to force (smartly, with a permit), here's what the cast of 'Freaky Friday' is prior to now.
Hard to imagine it's been 15 years since Freaky Friday was once released in theaters, but the iconic Disney movie is celebrating its anniversary on Aug. 6. The film catapulted Lindsay Lohan into teen stardom, and it used to be considered one of the few movie remakes to be just as just right (if no longer somewhat better) than the authentic.
To celebrate the movie now being old enough to power (well, with a permit), here's what the cast of Freaky Friday has been as much as for the previous 15 years.
Lindsay Lohan (Anna)
She would possibly not have seemed in any primary films since 2012's TV movie, Liz & Dick, however she's been busy with other businesses. She's recently the owner of Lohan Nightclub in Greece and just lately shot a pilot for a truth display about her new lifestyles as a club proprietor. And in case you are wondering how severely she's taking her new position as a club owner, that solution is "very seriously." She not too long ago threatened to fire employees at her club for no longer wearing matching sneakers.
Although Lindsay has reinvented herself in a foreign country, the general public in the States nonetheless take into account her for her trashy historical past, which Lindsay thinks everybody should recover from.
“There’s a industry aspect to my life now, but I’m no longer in America, so nobody knows about it, which is sweet for me," she recently told Wendy Williams on her show. "Because I am getting to in fact center of attention on the results of issues,” the celebrity mentioned. “I’m an ordinary, nice individual. A good individual. I don’t have any dangerous intentions. And my past has to stick in the previous. Like, other folks have to just let go of it and stop bringing it up as it’s not—it’s long gone. It’s dead. And that’s the maximum necessary thing to me."
Jamie Lee Curtis (Tess)
Now 59, Jamie Lee Curtis is still hard at work, appearing in TV shows like Scream Queens and New Girl. She's also returning to her iconic role as Laurie Strode in the new Halloween movie.
“Laurie Strode is the greatest part I’ll ever get to play," she said at this year's San Diego Comic Con. "The idea that ... when I was 19 years old on the streets of Los Angeles we made this movie … and now 40 years later we’re at Comic Con announcing a new movie in 2018, it is mind-blowing, and I am privileged.”
Chad Michael Murray (Jake)
Fun fact: Lindsay's on-screen kiss with Chad Michael Murray was her first kiss ever. Aww! After playing Anna's hunky love interest, Chad went on to appear in all kinds of things, although most notably, One Tree Hill. He currently has two movies in production and recently appeared in the TV show Sun Records.
Mark Harmon (Ryan)
He played Tess' fiancé in the movie, and apparently had himself frozen since then because he looks exactly the same. These days, Mark, who's now 66, is investigating crime cases as Leroy on NCIS.
Christina Vidal (Maddie)
She played Anna's friend and bandmate who performed the iconic "Take Me Away." Cool fact: The role was initially offered to Kelly Osbourne, but she turned it down because she didn't want to star in a "kids's movie." The part was then offered to Christina who snagged the role after only one audition.
Since then, the 36-year-old has appeared in several TV shows, from Blue Bloods to Training Day. She's currently starring in Amazon's Sneaky Pete.
Ryan Malgarini (Harry)
It's hard to believe, but the kid who played Anna's brother is now 26! He hasn't been too active since the movie, but according to his IMDb page, he's been appearing in small roles on TV shows like Fresh Off the Boat and Teen Wolf.
Julie Gonzalo (Stacey)
She spent most of the early '00s playing the "beautiful mean girl," in both Freaky Friday and A Cinderella Story. However, these days, the 36-year-old mostly appears in heartwarming Hallmark movies like Pumpkin Pie Wars and The Sweetest Heart.
Haley Hudson (Peg)
Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates)
No teen movie is complete without a nerdy teacher, and Stephen has spent most of his career playing them (along with doctors and professors). He most recently was in The Goldbergs where he played (you guessed it) a principal.
Rosalind Chao (Pei-Pei)
Although she had a small part in the film, she played the pivotal role of the owner of the Chinese restaurant where Tess and Anna eat magical fortune cookies that make them switch bodies (a plot point that still makes us roll our eyes for being both dumb and racially insensitive). Anyway, today, the 60-year-old actress appears in the TV show Code Black.
