After 22 years, Lindsay Lohan (39) and Jamie Lee Curtis (66) are again in front of the camera as a mother-daughter team from the cult film “Freaky Friday” for the continuation. Two decades in which a lot happened. Especially in the eventful life of the former children’s actress, who had to deal with drug and alcohol escapades. In an interview with revealed Lohan that Curtis had been on her in the difficult time.

In “Freakier Friday” (from August 7th in the cinema), the bodies of the roles of Curtis and Lohan are exchanged again. But the two are not only connected in front of the camera. For the current cover story of the American magazine “People”, the redhead reflects her 22-year-old deep friendship. “Jamie was there for me in a time of my life when I went through a lot in public,” said Lohan, who was not even 16 years old during the filming of “Freaky Friday”. “She was really there for me privately.”

The premiere of “Freaky Friday” was celebrated in 2003. The film catapulted Lindsay Lohan into the Hollywood Olympus. It was continuously besieged and persecuted by Paparazzi. Individual recordings of their party excesses circulated in the media. Even with the law, the “a twin rarely comes alone” had increasingly problems. So she was arrested several times for drunkenness at the wheel, and cocaine was secured during a traffic control in 2007.

At that time, Lohan was custody around 20 times, spent over 250 days in withdrawal clinics and even two weeks in prison. Since 2011 she has not come into conflict with the law, she retired and moved to Dubai. Here the mother of a little son founded a family. “I have to feel safe in the presence of people. And Jamie is one of these people for me,” sums up the actress in “People” today.

Jamie Lee Curtis replies this deeper connection: “I know that I can trust her. And I can’t say that from many people. If I tell her something, she keeps it to herself,” explains the actress and admits: “We have both had difficult times because we live and life is hard.” The two had felt connected and had remained connected. “And that is something special and rare for me,” added Curtis.
