Lindsay Lohan admitted that she struggled to blend with the "Mean Girls" film cast.
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are reuniting for the sequel to the 2003 box office hit, "Freaky Friday". In this latest instalment, titled "Freakier Friday", the duo reprise their roles as Tess Coleman and Anna, respectively. This time, they help Anna's daughter, Harper, played by Julia Butters, bond with her soon-to-be stepsister, Lily, portrayed by Sophia Hammons.
The new cast members joining the "Freaky Friday" franchise include Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Jordan E. Cooper. Julia Butters plays Harper Coleman, Sophia Hammons plays Lily Reyes, Manny Jacinto plays Eric Reyes, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is Ella, and Jordan E. Cooper plays Jett, a coworker of Anna at the record company.
During filming, Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons formed a close friendship, reminiscent of the bond shared by Lindsay Lohan and her "Mean Girls" co-stars. However, Lindsay Lohan, who played Cady Heron in "Mean Girls", found it hard to find where she fit in with the "Mean Girls" cast due to age differences. She recently told Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons during a sit-down that she didn't have the same experience of forming a close friendship with her co-stars when she was working at their age.
Off-screen, the cast members have a warm and collaborative relationship. In interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the actors share a sense of camaraderie and enjoyment working together. Lindsay Lohan and Julia Butters, for example, discussed bonding over motherhood and Gen Z slang, highlighting a friendly dynamic. Other cast members like Chad Michael Murray and Manny Jacinto shared humorous conversations about the body-swapping theme both on and off screen. The atmosphere during filming has been described as heartfelt but also very fun, reflecting on the multigenerational nature of the film and the "Pink Slip" band reunion.
Interestingly, Julia Butters described Sophia Hammons as her best friend during a recent interview with The New York Times. Rachel McAdams, who played Regina George in "Mean Girls", was 25-years-old during filming, while Lacey Chabert, another "Mean Girls" cast member, was 21-years-old during filming. Amanda Seyfried, also a "Mean Girls" cast member, was 17-years-old during filming, just like Lindsay Lohan.

Fans of the original film will be delighted to see the iconic duo of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis back on screen, while newcomers can enjoy the comedy stylings of Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, and the rest of the talented cast.
