In a nostalgic nod to the iconic movie, Curtis, 64, cleverly incorporated the film's theme into her celebration of the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike, a labor dispute lasting over 118 days. Sharing a poignant moment, Curtis posted a photo of their reunion on Instagram with the caption: "Too late. YOU GREW UP and SO BEAUTIFULLY! Well, it's Friday, and the strike is over so hopefully, we can switch places again in the near future! @lindsaylohan @disney."
This witty reference alludes to the central plot of 'Freaky Friday,' where Curtis and Lohan's characters swap bodies and lives, resulting in comedic chaos. The reunion not only celebrates their enduring connection but also sparks excitement among fans of the film.

"And simply, 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."
