Chad Michael Murray gushes about filming Freakier Friday with Lindsay Lohan: ‘Felt like a high school reunion’
Oh, the nostalgia! As a die-hard fan who has grown up with Chad Michael Murray and Lindsay Lohan’s characters, it was like a dream come true to hear about their reunion for Freakier Friday. The 23 years since the first one seems like just yesterday, and yet, we’ve all lived entire lives in between!
Chad Michael Murray looked back at his journey rejoining the Freaky Friday series alongside Lindsay Lohan in reflection.
At Christmas Con 2024 in New Jersey earlier this month, the actor from One Tree Hill (who is now 43 years old), participated in a Q&A panel. During the session, he was queried about working on the upcoming sequel to the 2003 film, as reported by People.
Murray expressed that it was truly amazing, reminiscent of a blast from the past. He described it as if he had attended a high school reunion.
‘It felt like no time had passed, and yet we had entire lives in between.’
He pointed out that it has been 23 years since we last worked together on the initial film, and it was challenging for him to remember which actors were portraying which characters during the shooting of the body-swap film.
At times, I found myself questioning, “Which one is which?”… I was absolutely engrossed. I had an enormous amount of work to complete, yet I’d still make mistakes, but he jestingly added, ‘However, it was fantastic. Incredibly enjoyable.’
In the movie “Freaky Friday,” Murray once again plays Jake, while Lindsay Lohan, aged 38, and Jamie Lee Curtis, at 66 years old, reprise their characters as Anna and Tess Coleman respectively.
2003’s movie served as a modern adaptation, featuring Barbara Harris and a younger Jodie Foster in the leading roles, much like the 1976 film did.
Both films were based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 Freaky Friday novel.
The narrative centers around a mom and her daughter, whose identities become interchanged mysteriously following the reading of an enigmatic Chinese cookie fortune, leaving them to impersonate one another until they unravel the secret to restore their original forms.
In the new film, Anna and Tess switch bodies with two teenage girls.
The announcement for the second part of the sequel was made in March, marking a return after more than two decades since the initial movie hit the screens.
When queried about the upcoming film, Lohan shared with People her enthusiasm, stating, “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Jamie once more and explore where this journey might lead us next.
Freakier Friday will hit theaters on Aug. 8, 2025.
In contrast, Murray eagerly accepts taking up the character of Jake once more for the Freaky Friday sequel, but he’s not planning to return as Lucas Scott in the One Tree Hill remake.
It seems he’s got no inclination towards collaborating with his former wife, Sophia Bush, according to sources.
In August, it was verified by Bush and her co-star Hilarie Burton, who are both 42 years old, that a new TV show is being developed for Netflix. Interestingly enough, they will both be taking on the role of executive producers for this project.
For several years, from 2003 to 2012, this popular show gained fame due to its intense plotlines. However, what happened off-camera was just as captivating – the turbulent relationships behind the scenes, such as the bitter divorce between Murray and Bush.
2005’s separation was so contentious that Murray prefers not to collaborate with, or be employed by, his former colleague on the forthcoming venture.
According to a source, there’s little affection remaining between Chad and Sophia. Since their divorce, they’ve each chosen to focus on their individual lives. (DailyMail.com)
Bush and Murray officially started dating in 2003 and tied the knot in 2005 in Santa Monica.
At Hotel Casa del Mar, they joyously celebrated with their loved ones, only to part ways a mere five months later amid whispers that Murray was unfaithful to Bush, allegedly with Paris Hilton.
At that point, there were whispers suggesting that Murray may have been unfaithful to his spouse, with none other than his co-star from “House of Wax,” Paris Hilton.
In 2006, my persistent attempts to have our union annulled on grounds of alleged deceit fell through. The legal proceedings eventually led to a divorce, which we officially parted ways with, marking the end of our marriage.
According to the report, Sophia tried to invalidate their marriage on grounds of deceit, but her request was turned down. It’s clear that Chad has no desire and lacks the necessity to collaborate with or be employed by Sophia.
Having the producer role implies that she would be in a position of authority over him. Regardless of the amount of compensation, he wouldn’t reconsider working under those circumstances.
