Lindsay Lohan makes rare comment on 'public downfall' as she calls Freaky Friday mom Jamie Lee Curtis her rock
The Parent Trap actress, 39, and the Oscar-winning Curtis, 66, captured hearts as the mother-daughter duo in the 2003 Disney body-swap comedy.
Shortly after the film became a bona fide hit—and following Lindsay's breakthrough success with 2004's Mean Girls —the former child star encountered major challenges.
During that time, she faced widely publicized struggles, including multiple arrests for DUI, theft, and cocaine possession, as well as several stints in rehab that sidelined her Hollywood career.
Now, as she promotes the long-awaited sequel Freakier Friday, due this August, Lindsay revealed that Jamie was a crucial source of support during those trying years.
'Jamie was with me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot publicly,' she told People on Tuesday alongside Jamie. 'She was privately really there for me. I can trust her.'
She continued, '"Safe" is a very important word to me. I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me.'
Turning towards Jamie, Lindsay added, 'Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things.'
Jamie chimed in, 'Lindsay and I have been in each other's lives since we made that movie. That is first and foremost.'
She continued, 'I know I can trust her. I can't say that about a lot of people. I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her.
'We've both been through hard things, 'cause we're alive and life is hard. And we're not dead yet.
'So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.'
The unlikely BFFs are so comfortable in their bond that they even teased a possible third installment of the Freaky Friday franchise.
At one point, Jamie turned to Lindsay and asked, 'So Lindsay Lohan, 20 years from now, Freakiest Friday? You in?'

Lohan's reply was a resounding: 'I'm in.'
Meanwhile, Lindsay's paycheck for the original Freaky Friday has recently resurfaced — and fans were stunned.
Despite the 2003 film's massive success, earning over $160 million on a $26 million budget, Lohan was paid just $550,000 for her starring role.
It marked a turning point, though — by the time she filmed 2004's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, her salary had nearly doubled to a reported $1 million.
Last year, Lohan made a cameo appearance in the musical remake of Mean Girls, reportedly earning $500,000 for the brief role—proof she's moved past her earlier public struggles.

Aldi Australia announces the return of hundreds of discontinued viral favourites - but only for a limited time
If you needed another excuse to plan your next Aldi run, this week's national announcement might just be it. The budget supermarket has just dropped its biggest Limited Time Only range of the year, featuring more than 250 fresh and returning foodie favourites, starting from just 99 cents. Among the viral snack sensations making a comeback include the now iconic Farmer Jo Pistachio Spread ($9.99), a creamy, nutty jar of heaven that had shoppers in a frenzy last time it landed on shelves. Whether shoppers after fuss-free party starters, addictive snacks, or decadent desserts, the lineup is bursting with bold flavours, clever convenience, and serious bang for buck. 'This range is all about enjoying top-notch treats, speedy snacks and tasty desserts that are still easy on the wallet,' said Aldi Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke. 'We're constantly on the lookout for new tasty goodies and to bring back crowd favourites for our customers, especially when it comes to adding delicious sensations to our Limited Time Only range.' From White Chocolate Dipped Mango to Mexican Beef Arancini, there's a lot for fans to keep an eye out for before they sell out completely. Because like all good things, this drop won't last forever. However, it's the Farmer Jo Pistachio Spread is generating the most buzz online. At just $9.99, the rich, silky spread is everything pistachio lovers dream of and is perfect spooned onto toast, swirled through porridge or devoured straight from the jar. 'Looking forward to trying this out when it drops on July 23rd!' one fan wrote. 'Love a good pistachio spread, especially with those dietary-friendly options.' 'Yeah the vegan stuff, finally,' wrote another. This is part of Aldi's Limited Time Only snack stash, which also includes, Frozen Pretzels ($6.49), Brioche Cinnamon French Rolls ($4.99), Oh So Natural Mushroom Chips ($4.99), Sol Brothers White Chocolate Dipped Mango ($3.99), Lolliland Sour Straps ($1.79) and Tom and Luke Snackaballs ($5.99) for guilt-free grazing. 'I've been waiting soooo long!' one fan commented about Aldi's cult Ltd Edition Frozen Pretzels returning. 'I spotted these limited time items at Aldi in Greensborough, Vic today. All in the freezer section,' another added after spying the pretzels in store. If hosting a get-together Aldi's new 'Let's Party' range can also do lot's of the heavy lifting. Think, flavour-packed finger foods that look fancy, taste amazing, and go from freezer to table in under 40 minutes. According to the Aldi Fans Australia Facebook page, standouts from this range include, Mexican Style Beef Arancini ($4.99), Herb & Cheese Cauliflower Bites ($4.99), BBQ Pork Spring Rolls ($4.99), Tandoori Spiced Naan Bites ($4.99), Prawn Laksa Spring Roll Cones ($4.99) and the World Kitchen Burek ($10.99). And of course, no Aldi haul is complete without dessert, and the new Limited Time range has something for every kind of sweet tooth. Aldi super fans say the essentials to stock up on fast include Sweet Haven Mini Churros ($4.99), Food Envy Cheesecakes ($4.49), White Mill Cake in a Mug ($3.99) and the Belmont Biscuit Co Cookie Cups ($2.49). 'Desperately waiting in WA, but I have the feeling we are missing out here,' said one impatient shopper. With prices starting at just 99cents, every item is set to disappear fast, but if history's anything to go by, viral hits like the pistachio spread and pretzels will be the first to fly off shelves first.

Why on earth is Brooklyn Beckham cooking pasta with seawater?
Name: Brooklyn Beckham. Age: 26. Appearance: Tattooed. Also, uncannily like his old man. Occupation … actually, hang on, I think I know this. He's a celebrity offspring, isn't he? Ouch, cruel. No, he's actually something in his own right. Footballer? Never really happened. Model? Old news. Oh yeah, he's a photographer, isn't he? Again, was. A book of his photos, published when he was just 17, was roundly and widely lampooned. So now he's a… Chef. Oh yes, I think I did see that. And what's he been cooking up? A bit of a storm as it happens. On a boat 'n' all. Go on! So Peltz Beckham (as he's called himself since marrying American actor Nicola Peltz in 2022) is working as a chef on a yacht. Good for him. A superyacht presumably? It certainly could be, judging from the size of the kitchen. This week he shared a TikTok video, filmed on board, demonstrating his tomato pasta. Tomato pasta! Not exactly cordon bleu is it? Previous masterclasses have included one on jacket potatoes with cheese and baked beans. Does he have any cooking qualifications? Nothing formal, though that hasn't stopped him from opening a restaurant. And making a video series, Cookin' With Brooklyn, which also attracted criticism when it was revealed that a whole lot of professionals and a whole lot of money were required to make each episode … but that's another story. Back to this story then. So the controversy this time comes with the pasta water, a saucepan of which Brooklyn scoops from … the sea. Ew. Hope the yacht's not parked off Southend pier, what with Thames Water dumping all that raw sewage upstream. It looks more like the Med than the Thames estuary. But even so, some commenters were horrified. 'That's disgusting,' one opined. Another waded in: 'Obviously cooking pasta in seawater where there are boats that dump diesel into the sea and E coli abounds is not really the best alternative.' But he's boiling it, presumably – surely that will kill any bacteria. I guess. Boiling pasta and rice in seawater is common among seafaring folk, though the general consensus is that it's too salty and that one part sea to two parts fresh is about right. Plus, pasta water requires salt, seawater has salt, so it makes perfect sense. And he's saving precious fresh water. Go Brooklyn, eco warrior! Though there's no escaping the diesel. Or the fact that, even if other countries aren't as bad as the UK at dumping sewage, a lot of toilets on small boats flush straight into the sea … Do say: 'Leave the poor boy alone. It must be hard, and at least he's trying.' Don't say: Basil? I think that's seaweed, Brooklyn …
