Lindsay Lohan talked about the tough time she went through during the making of 2004’s hit film Mean Girls.
The Parent Trap star compared her bonding with teen-romance film with the young co-stars of Freakier Friday.
In an interview with The New York Times, while speaking with her Freakier Friday teammates Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons, she said: “You’re lucky because you’re close in age.”
Looking back on her time of shooting Mark Waters-directed and Tina Fey-written projects, she added, “It was hard because Rachel McAdams was so much older.”
McAdams, who played head mean girl Regina George, was 25 years old, while Lohan was 17 and fellow stars, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert were 17 and 21, respectively.
“I was in school,” recalled the Just My Luck actress. “Amanda and Lacey were all hanging out. It was hard for me to find where I fit in.”
In contrast to her young age struggles, Butters and Hammons, who are aged 16 and 18, respectively, “didn’t know each other” before Freakier Friday but have grown close, Hammons told the outlet.
“She’s my best friend in the entire world,” she said of Butters. “We see each other every single day. That’s not even an exaggeration.”
The sequel sees Anna, now a mom to her own teen daughter named Harper (Butters), while Curtis returns as Anna’s mother.
Anna has swapped places with Harper, while Tess has swapped with Harper’s soon-to-be step sister Lily (Hammons), who is the daughter of Anna’s fiancé Eric, played by Manny Jacinto.
Freakier Friday is set to release on August 8.
