Lindsay Lohan reunites with Parent Trap co-star in unexpected Freakier Friday cameo

Lindsay Lohan is reuniting with one of her The Parent Trap co-stars in Freakier Friday.

In the upcoming sequel, Lohan, 38, unexpected joined forces with another one of her former castmates from the family comedy she starred in as a preteen.

On Friday, the Freakier Friday trailer was released by Disney, and in a brief part, Elaine Hendrix, made a surprise appearance.

During her cameo, she was dressed as a waitress with a white ʙuттon-down and a black tie in a scene with Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.

Hendrix, now 54, previously played Meredith Blake, the evil, soon-to-be stepmother of twins Hallie Parker and Annie James, both portrayed by Lohan, in The Parent Trap.

Hendrix’s appearance came as a surprise as it was previously unannounced that she would be appearing in the sequel to Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis’ 2003 Disney movie.

In response to the release of the trailer, many fans of the original move took to social media to share their thoughts about the upcoming release. 

The general consensus appeared to be a lack of excitement for ‘the same movie again.’ 

The story is set 20 years later after the first movie.

The trailer kicked off with Anna (Lohan) and her mom Tess (Curtis) talking to a fortune teller, who is played by SNL alum Vanessa Bayer. 

While giving them a reading, she tells the mother-daughter duo that they have ‘walked in each other’s paths’ and ‘learned a lesson.’ 

The following morning, Anna and Tess wake up to realize they have switched bodies again.
