Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman

After her 1998 breakout in The Parent Trap, Lohan took on yet another feature film role playing rebellious teen Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday.

In the years that followed, the young actress continued appearing on the big screen throughout the 2000s, starring in films like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded. Lohan also released two studio albums in 2004 and 2005.

As her teen years wrapped, Lohan started nabbing more mature roles in the comedies Just My Luck and Georgia Rule, as well as the critically acclaimed ensemble drama Bobby in 2006. Her 2014 docuseries, Lindsay, followed her recovery in rehab, personal struggles and professional journey.

Lohan reclaimed her leading lady status in 2022 when she starred in Netflix’s holiday film Falling for Christmas alongside Chord Overstreet. She’s since starred in Netflix’s Our Little Secret and Irish Wish, in addition to making a cameo in 2024’s Mean Girls.

The actress married financier Bader Shammas in 2022. They welcomed their first baby, son Luai, in the summer of 2023.

In August 2025, she reprised her role of Anna in Freakier Friday. “Life is so full circle sometimes,” she told PEOPLE in July 2025.

Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman

By the time she was switching bodies in the Disney film, Curtis had already established herself as a queen of scream with the Halloween film franchise. She continued her scary streak in ’80s horror movies like The Fog, Prom Night and Terror Train, but eventually transitioned to lighter work with the 1983 comedy Trading Places.

After playing Tess Coleman in Freaky Friday, Curtis stepped back from acting to focus on her family. She returned to TV in 2012, with a five-episode stint on NCIS (with her Freaky Friday costar Mark Harmon). In 2015, she joined Ryan Murphy’s black comedy-slasher Scream Queens before revisiting her Halloween character Laurie Strode in 2018, 2021 and 2022.

In 2023, the Hollywood mainstay took home her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Curtis returned to play Tess in Freakier Friday, which she told PEOPLE “feels like home.”

Chad Michael Murray as Jake

Murray was well-regarded as a teen heartthrob by the time he played Anna Coleman’s crush, Jake, in the 2003 film. Having already appeared in Y2K television staples Gilmore Girls and Dawson’s Creek, Murray followed his Freaky Friday fame with a leading role in One Tree Hill, in which he played star athlete Lucas Scott for six seasons.

During his time on One Tree Hill, Murray continued his movie career in 2004’s teen rom-com A Cinderella Story and the 2005 slasher House of Wax. In more recent years, he’s appeared in A Madea Christmas, Road to Christmas and two thrillers with Bruce Willis: Survive the Night and Survive the Game. He also made recurring appearances in Riverdale and currently stars in the Canadian series Sullivan’s Crossing.

In Murray’s personal world, he’s become a dad of three. The actor and his wife, Sarah Roemer, married in 2014 and share a son and two daughters.

Murray starred in Freakier Friday alongside Curtis and Lohan — and now, his kids have seen the original.

“I just remember them picking on me, ‘Dad, what is wrong with your hair?’ And ‘Dad, you can’t sing. What’s going on?’ And they were embarrassed for me, as they should have been,” he told PEOPLE in July 2025.

Mark Harmon as Ryan

Before he played Tess Coleman’s husband-to-be, Ryan, in Freaky Friday, Harmon made quite a name for himself as an Emmy-nominated TV star, a major film favorite and PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive in 1986.

Just a few weeks after playing Curtis’ on-screen fiancé in 2003, Harmon began starring in NCIS as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a role he played for 19 seasons.

Ryan Malgarini as Harry Coleman

At 11 years old, Ryan Malgarini played Anna Coleman’s pesky little brother, Harry.

He later returned to the big screen in 2006’s How to Eat Fried Worms, though he appeared mainly in TV movies and shows for the remainder of the decade. In 2008, he began starring in the sitcom Gary Unmarried as Tom Brooks, the son of a newly divorced couple. After the series’ two-season run, Malgarini guest starred on shows like Harry’s Law, Bones, Fresh Off the Boat and Teen Wolf.

Malgarini returned to film work with the 2013 thriller Riddle, and he costarred with Haley Lu Richardson in The Young Kieslowski the following year.

Christina Vidal as Maddie

Christina Vidal had spent time on big and small screens by the time she played Maddie, one of Anna Coleman’s teen bandmates. She made her acting debut alongside Michael J. Fox in the 1993 comedy Life with Mikey and played the titular character in Nickelodeon’s series Taina.

After playing Maddie, Vidal guest starred on ER, Monk, House, Castle and Blue Bloods, among other shows, and she had recurring roles on Code Black, Training Day, The Terminal List and the Amazon Freevee series Primo.

Vidal played Maddie once again in Freakier Friday.

Haley Hudson as Peg

Haley Hudson played Peg, another one of Anna’s bandmates, in Freaky Friday.

She then went on to appear in Marley & Me and as a guest star on shows like Weeds and The Mentalist. In 2014, Hudson gave a chilling performance as psychic Stevie in the horror film The Pact II.
