In a recent interview on The View, Curtis addressed the possibility of a Freaky Friday sequel. She starred in the original film with Lindsay Lohan in 2003.
Curtis stated that she is “wide open” when it comes to reprising her role with Lohan. So much so, she’s even written to Disney about it.
In response to co-host Sara Haines, she shared, “I’ve already written to Disney, my friends at Disney.” If anyone can persuade Disney to do the movie, it’s Curtis!

Curtis proposed, “Let me be the grandma! Let me be the old grandma who switches places. I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers today. I wanna be a helicopter parent in today’s world, as an old lady.”
Perhaps we will be able to see this story play out in the near future. We’ll have to wait and see if Jamie Lee Curtis can persuade Disney to make a Freaky Friday Sequel!
