00:00 Freaky Friday turns 20, and we're sharing a few things
00:03 you might not know about the film.
00:04 - You're not my mother.
00:06 (screaming)
00:07 - Jamie's really cool.
00:08 She's like a big kid, you know what I mean?
00:10 (imitating a car engine)
00:14 - Oh, I'm like the Crypt Keeper!
00:16 - Okay, that's enough.
00:17 The chemistry between us was just, it was so great.
00:21 - We hit it off very quickly.
00:22 You know, I immediately started pulling up her blouse
00:25 because, you know, she's, you know, luscious
00:27 and wears those clothes that are inappropriate.
00:29 - It's hard to believe, but Jamie Lee Curtis
00:31 wasn't Disney's first choice
00:33 to play Lindsay Lohan's mom, Tess.
00:35 - The lead actress had to pull out.
00:36 - Oh, and they're offering it to me, Rick.
00:38 Is that true?
00:40 - Annette Bening was originally cast for the role,
00:42 but dropped out less than a week
00:43 before filming was set to begin.
00:45 Bening's exit led Tom Selleck to follow suit,
00:48 and the role of Tess' fiance went to Mark Harmon.
00:50 - Am I supposed to follow this?
00:52 - It's nothing, darling.
00:55 - The movie also marked a major milestone
00:57 in Lindsay's career, her first on-screen kiss.
01:01 To help break the ice, Jamie made out
01:03 with then 21-year-old co-star,
01:04 Chad Michael Murray, behind the scenes.
01:07 - It was nerve-wracking, but I spoke to Jamie about it,
01:11 and she was like, "You don't have to worry about anything."
01:13 She was like, "Okay, he's a good-looking guy.
01:14 "What do you have to worry about?"
01:15 - Today, Jamie and Lindsay still keep in touch.
01:18 Jamie sent Lindsay's new baby boy, Louie,
01:21 books and a baby blanket as a warm welcome.
01:23 Lindsay shared the sweet gift on Instagram,
01:25 which included a note from Jamie, quote,
01:27 "I can't wait to meet him."
01:29 The two are also in talks to reunite for a sequel.
01:32 - I love Jamie, and we would definitely love
01:34 to work together again.
01:35 - Just watching Lindsay try to be a grandma
01:38 makes me laugh, and then me being a grandma
01:41 trying to take care of toddlers makes me laugh.
01:44 (upbeat music)
