Chad Michael Murray makes rare red carpet appearance with his wife Sarah Roemer and their two lookalike eldest kids at the Freakier Friday LA premiere
The One Tree Hill actor, 43, and actress Sarah, 40, share three children - a 9-year-old son, a 6-year-old daughter and a daughter they welcomed in August 2023.
Though they have never revealed the names of their kids, the two eldest were enjoying a fun night out at the premiere.
Chad looked smart in a light pink jacket and dark trousers while his lookalike son wore an equally smart suit.
Sarah dazzled in a flowing green halterneck dress and matched with her daughter who wore a sweet dress in the same colour.
Chad and Sarah wed in 2015 and keep their family life mostly out of the spotlight, opting for a low-key lifestyle.
The One Tree Hill actor, 43, and actress Sarah, 40, share three children - a 9-year-old son, a 6-year-old daughter and a daughter he welcomed in August 2023
Last year Chad sweetly revealed that their daughter has already watched his iconic 2004 rom-com A Cinderella Story.
He told E! News: 'I came home from work and I saw my wife and my daughter sitting in bed.
'I said, 'What you watching?' Right away I knew, she loved it.'
He has also previously opened up about their simple family life - even revealing that their children are homeschooled.
Chad explained: 'I'm really good at staying under the radar these days. My wife and I, we don't go to the quote-unquote 'cool' places.'
'We have our own life, we have our dogs, we have our lifestyle that we truly enjoy, and we've got a cabin if we want to get away and go camping.
'I feel very good about my private scene. I'm going to do everything I can to protect my family and go from there.'
Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan made a rare red carpet appearance with her husband Bader Shammas at the world premiere of Freakier Friday, which was held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
The 39-year-old former child star has never publicly confirmed undergoing a face lift like The Kardashians matriarch Kris Jenner, but her features looked noticeably more taut than they did seven years ago.
When asked directly by ELLE in May about plastic surgery rumors, Lindsay scoffed: 'I'm like, when? With what time? Where?'
'My skin changed after having my son [Luai]. It got really sensitive,' Lohan explained.
'That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, "I want to know everything I'm allergic to." So I cut everything out. That's kind of when everything started to change for me.'
For the purple carpet, the Mean Girls star donned a rhinestone-strapped pink Miu Miu gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry selected by stylist Andrew Mukamal.
Lohan was also joined in Hollywood by her onscreen mother Jamie Lee Curtis, who was wearing a red long-sleeve mini-dress.
The close castmates - who've kept in touch over the years - hit the stage to speak to the gathered crowd of excited fans during the film festivities.
The SAG Award nominee and the 66-year-old Oscar winner executive produced and reprised their roles in Nisha Ganatra's mother-daughter swap sequel Freakier Friday, which hits US/UK theaters August 8
It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since Lindsay and Jamie portrayed Anna and Tess Coleman in Mark Waters' critically-acclaimed remake of Freaky Friday, which amassed $160.8M at the global box office.

Hollywood icon says 'it's happening' as she confirms reboot for 'one of the greatest shows ever'
Hollywood legend Jamie Lee Curtis has opened up about the anticipated Murder, She Wrote reboot A Hollywood icon said, "It's happening", as she confirmed a reboot for "one of the greatest shows ever". A Murder, She Wrote movie was confirmed back in September 2023, with Orange Is the New Black duo Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum on writing duties. The pair, who worked as staff writers on season five of the hit US comedy-drama, are also on board to executive produce the film, which has been commissioned by Universal Pictures. Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal are producers. A year later, it was reported that Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis was in early talks to play lead character Jessica Fletcher, who was famously brought to life by Angela Lansbury in the original series. Speaking at the Freakier Friday premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday (July 22), Jamie confirmed that the film reboot "is happening" and that she's "very excited". "Oh, it's... happening. We're a minute away, but yeah, very excited. Very excited. But I'm tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting," she told Entertainment Tonight. "I have a couple of other things to hustle, but then I'll get to enjoy that work." The original Murder, She Wrote series ran for 12 seasons, as well as four TV movies, between 1984 and 1996. It followed Jessica Fletcher, a mystery writer and amateur detective who helped solve murders in her fictional town of Cabot Cove and other locations. As well as Angela Lansbury, the series also starred Tom Bosley, William Windom, Ron Masak, Will Nye and Louis Herthum. Angela won four Golden Globes out of ten nominations for her portrayal of Jessica, earning her the record for the most Golden Globe nominations and wins in the Best Actress in a Television Drama Series category. She also achieved the most Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, with the show also bagging two major wins at the prestigious event. Murder, She Wrote was a ratings hit during its broadcast, becoming a staple of the CBS Sunday night schedule for almost a decade, making it one of the most successful and longest-running TV shows in history. Fans instantly fell in love with the show, with many continuing to share their praise on social media today. "Murder, She Wrote is one of the greatest shows ever," one person wrote on IMDb, with another adding: "This cherished television series will forever be dearly missed, but Jessica will forever live on." A third said: "This series is one of my all time favourites. A groundbreaking show that's just perfect in every way."

Lindsay Lohan commands attention in a figure-hugging pink gown as she joins co-star Jamie Lee Curtis at the world premiere of Freakier Friday in Mexico
Lindsay Lohan commanded attention in a striking pink gown as she joined her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis at the world premiere of Freakier Friday in Mexico on Thursday. The actress, 39, who has reprised her role for the sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, looked incredible as she opted for full glamour for the outing. Her dress featured a silky ruffle design down the center which pooled out into a fishtail design. To complete her glitzy ensemble, Lindsay accessorised with a gold necklace, which attached to her dress, and slicked her blonde tresses into an elegant up-do. Meanwhile Jamie, 66, cut an elegant but striking display as she stepped out in a bright orange sequin pencil skirt. She paired her skirt with a silky orange shirt and slipped into a pair of modest, nude, block, heels. The anticipated movie - which is a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay and Jamie Lee Curtis embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places. Lindsay joined Jamie on stage to speak to a crowd of excited fans during the film festivities. It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since Lindsay and Jamie portrayed Anna and Tess Coleman in Mark Waters' critically-acclaimed remake of Freaky Friday, which amassed $160.8M at the global box office. Jamie told People on Tuesday: '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, because 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 actress added: '"Safe" is a very important word to me. I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me. Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things. So it's — I know you said "trust," but for me it's "safe."' The supernatural comedy marks Lindsay's first theatrically released leading role in 18 years after overshadowing her acting career with six court-ordered rehab stints and other Hollywood wild child antics. The anticipated movie - which is a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay and Jamie embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places. The duo both executive produced and reprised their roles in Nisha Ganatra's mother-daughter swap sequel Freakier Friday, which hits US/UK theaters August 8 The original film followed a mother and teen daughter (played by Curtis and Lohan, respectively) who magically switch bodies after reading a cryptic fortune cookie. The follow-up film follows a similar plotline to the first movie, however, it features a huge twist involving Gen Z teenage girls that spells chaos for all involved. This time round, Lindsay's character Anna is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), however things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teen girl Lily (Sophia Hammons). 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. Although her breakout hit was Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday helped coronate her as a teen idol and cemented her status as a major force in Hollywood. 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. She maintained that salary for Mean Girls, which she starred in later that year. The film became one of her signature roles and is now a heavily quoted cultural icon. 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. Lindsay seemingly could do no wrong for the next few years as she attracted multimillion-dollar salaries. Her sequel Herbie: Fully Loaded was savaged by critics, but it still performed well at the box office, while her turn toward arthouse cinema with a supporting part in Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion earned stellar reviews and a respectable gross against a tiny budget. Those successes set up Lohan for her biggest payday ever: a reported $7.5 million that she earned for 2006's Just My Luck. Her luck ran out with that rom-com, which costarred a young Chris Pine. The film bombed with critics and audiences alike, and it grossed only $38 million against a budget of $28 million, of which Lohan's salary accounted for a significant chunk. Although it made more money than its production costs, Just My Luck likely made little if any profit when factoring in advertising and other promotional costs. Things went downhill from there. Her next lead role wasn't until 2007's Georgia Rule, which she starred in with Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman, but the film underperformed. That year she starred in the preposterous horror thriller I Know Who Killed Me, which bombed at the box office, and the TV movie Labor Pains. Lohans career then shifted into a period in which she largely appeared in cameo roles as herself or in small supporting parts. Her lead role in the controversial Paul Schrader thriller The Canyons in 2013 helped her regain some critical interest, but she failed to capitalize on it with strong roles. Lohan also didn't star in any films between 2015 and 2019. More recently, she has tried to reinvent herself with the forgettable and poorly reviewed Netflix rom-coms Falling For Christmas (2022), Irish Wish (2024) and Our Little Secret (2024).

The Naked Gun to Freakier Friday: 12 of the best films to watch in August
From The Naked Gun to Freakier Friday – these are the films to watch at the cinema and stream at home this month. Souleymane's Story Boris Lojkine's powerful drama was the winner of two prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, and has a 100% rating on the Rotten Tomatoes review round-up site. It's the story of Souleymane (first-time actor Abou Sangaré), an immigrant from West Africa who has come to Paris in the hope of making enough money to support his ill mother. But the title, Souleymane's Story, has another meaning: it also refers to the false life story he has to memorise and recite at a legal residency application interview in two days' time. The trouble is that memorising anything is almost impossible while Souleymane is cycling around Paris as a food delivery worker, crossing paths with the police and with people who owe him money, and trying to find somewhere safe to sleep. "Lojkine's narrative is pacy and moves like an edge-of-the-seat thriller," says Namrata Joshi in the New Indian Express. He "also documents the entire industry that gets built around immigration and asylum". Released on 1 August in the US and Canada Weapons Barbarian, Zach Cregger's twist-filled horror film about the world's worst Airbnb, was a commercial and critical hit in 2022, and now the writer-director returns with a film which, he says, is "more ambitious in almost every way". The Twilight Zone-worthy premise is that 17 children from the same class all wake up at the same moment, walk out of their houses and disappear into the night, never to be seen again. The children's parents (Josh Brolin, among others) are desperate for answers, and their teacher (Julia Garner) is under suspicion. But that, says Cregger, is just the start of the story. Even more intriguingly, he says that he was influenced by Paul Thomas Anderson's multi-stranded ensemble drama, Magnolia. "I love that movie," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I love that kind of bold scale. It gave me permission when I was writing this to shoot for the stars and make it an epic. I wanted a horror epic, and so I tried to do that." Released on 8 August in cinemas internationally The Bad Guys 2 The Bad Guys was a different kind of DreamWorks cartoon – a stylish heist caper in the Ocean's Eleven mould, except that the criminals just happened to be talking animals. Adapted from Aaron Blabey's graphic novels, the film featured Mr Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Mr Snake (Marc Maron), Ms Tarantula (Awkwafina), Mr Shark (Craig Robinson) and Mr Piranha (Anthony Ramos), a gang of wisecracking criminals who got tired of being stereotyped as scary predators. In the sequel, they're still struggling to be accepted as upstanding members of the community, and things get trickier when they're blackmailed into teaming up with another gang of crooked animals: The Bad Girls. The director, Pierre Perifel, says that the sequel makes the jump from heist film to all-action blockbuster. "We're big fans of Mission: Impossible, and of big action films in particular, and we wanted to dabble and play with that genre," Perifel told Collider. "We're not doing Mission: Impossible, we're doing The Bad Guys, but it has those tropes." Released on 1 August in cinemas internationally Caught Stealing Darren Aronofsky is known for his abyss-dark dramas; no one goes to see Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler or The Whale because they fancy a fun Friday night at the cinema. But now Aronofsky has switched to Tarantino / Ritchie mode for a boisterous crime caper set in grimy 1990s New York. Adapted from Charlie Huston's novel, Caught Stealing stars Austin Butler as a baseball-loving barman who is trying to impress his new girlfriend (Zoe Kravitz) when he stumbles into a gangland feud involving a British punk-rocker (Matt Smith), a pair of Orthodox Jewish hitmen (Liev Schreiber and Vincent D'Onofrio), and $4m in ill-gotten gains. "The state the world's in right now... There's a lot going on," Aronofsky explained in Empire. "So, I wanted to get back to the core ingredients that make movies great – entertainment and fun. I wanted to make something filled with joy and adventure… It's a romp." Released on 29 August in cinemas internationally It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley Jeff Buckley's Grace is one of the greatest albums of the 1990s – or, as David Bowie once said, one of the greatest albums ever made. Buckley's poetic songwriting, swirling guitar arrangements and angelic multi-octave voice were stunning, but, tragically, we'll never know what else he might have accomplished: he accidentally drowned in a river in 1997 before he had completed his second album. Amy Berg's documentary examines the conflicted man behind the music, and ponders the dark ironies of his short life. The father he never knew, Tim Buckley, was also a singer who died young. "What the documentary captures is that Buckley was on his way to becoming a staggeringly huge star," says Owen Gleiberman in Variety. "I defy you to see It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley and not fall in love with Jeff Buckley's voice. By the time the film is over, you want to find a way to go back and rescue him to let him live the life he should have had." Released on 8 August in the US Highest 2 Lowest Highest 2 Lowest "fulfils every expectation you might want from a modern Spike Lee movie", says Stephanie Zacharek in Time. A loose remake of Akira Kurosawa's High and Low (1963), this New York music-industry thriller stars Denzel Washington as a record-company boss. He's renowned for signing some of the biggest names in the business, but his company has fared so poorly in recent years that he is struggling to keep control of it. And then he hears that his son Trey (Aubrey Joseph) has been kidnapped. Co-starring some real-life music stars, including A$AP Rocky and Ice Spice, Highest 2 Lowest is "smart, hugely entertaining, and profound in a way that's anything but sentimental", says Zacharek. "Lee has made a film that feels modest and grand at once, the kind of movie you can see on a Saturday night just for kicks and still be thinking about the next day." Released on 22 August in the US The Roses One of Hollywood's darkest ever anti-romantic comedies, The War of the Roses (1989) starred Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner as a couple going through a blisteringly bitter divorce. Thirty-six years on, it has been remade – or reimagined – with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch as the unhappy couple. Cumberbatch is Theo Rose, a famous architect, and Colman is Ivy Rose, a small-time cook. But when his career crashes while hers goes into orbit, the Roses' relationship gets thorny. Co-starring Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon, the film is directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Austin Powers), and written by Tony McNamara (The Favourite, Cruella), who says that his screenplay is even more outrageous than the 1980s one, but not, perhaps, as cynical. "We were like, 'Let's do a movie about people who want to stay married rather than two people trying to destroy each other,'" McNamara said on Streaming Movie Night. "A sophisticated adult screwball comedy didn't seem like it had been done for a while in a proper commercial way, and so it seemed like an opportunity." Released on 29 August in cinemas internationally Splitsville Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin have already made one acclaimed indie comedy together, The Climb (2019), which Covino directed, and both men wrote and acted in. Now they've reunited for a higher profile project opposite higher profile co-stars, Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona. Marvin plays Carey, who has been married to Ashley (Arjona) for a year when she announces that she has been unfaithful to him and wants a divorce. When he tells the sorry tale to his wealthy friends Paul (Covino) and Julie (Johnson), they reveal that their marriage works so well because they are free to sleep with other people. Could this work for Carey and Ashley, too? And is Paul and Julie's relationship really as healthy as they make it sound? This "reliably funny romcom about the notion of open relationships makes for a delightful time", says Esther Zuckerman in IndieWire. "The film-makers have created an utterly endearing tale of four people trying to negotiate their own desires in the silliest ways possible with unexpected chaos around every turn." Released on 22 August in the US Freakier Friday Lindsay Lohan spent years in the Hollywood wilderness after she starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003's Freaky Friday, so it's heartening to see her back on the big screen in the perfectly named sequel, Freakier Friday. In the first film (itself a remake of a Disney comedy from 1976), Lohan and Curtis played a teenage girl and her mother, Anna and Tess, who swapped bodies for a day. In Freakier Friday, Anna and Tess swap bodies with Anna's daughter and step-daughter – so both Lohan and Curtis get to pretend that they're teenagers. "[Freakier Friday] is a feelgood movie, which is what I want to give people," Lohan said in Elle. "And it's fun. When I saw the second cut, I wanted to get up and dance at the end." Released on 8 Aug in cinemas internationally The Naked Gun How can you make a Naked Gun film without the franchise's beloved star, the late Leslie Nielsen? The answer, it seems, is to cast Liam Neeson – not just because his name is so similar to Nielsen's, but because he knows how to be gruff and deadpan while surrounded by silliness. "Liam Neeson is probably the only actor alive in the 21st Century who could do what Leslie Nielsen did," the film's producer, Seth MacFarlane, said in Entertainment Weekly. The casting of Pamela Anderson as the love interest / femme fatale was an inspired move, too, especially as Anderson was so acclaimed for her previous film, The Last Showgirl. MacFarlane is hoping that his spoof cop thriller will be that rarest of things, a Hollywood comedy that is a cinema hit. "It's been a long time since a really high-profile hard comedy has been put out there. This is a true comedy, with a whole bunch of laughs. And hopefully, if the movie does well, it brings a few more of those kinds of movies back into our shared landscape." Released on 1 August in cinemas internationally The Thursday Murder Club Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club has been a publishing sensation since it came out in 2020. Not only was it a bestseller, but it helped established the genre of "cosy crime" detective novels – although Osman might not use that term himself. "When I started writing The Thursday Murder Club, the successful crime books of the time were mainly dark psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators," he told the BBC in 2023. "I just wanted to write an Agatha Christie-style thriller but with some humour and with a modern twist. A book I'd love to read, but couldn't find. I'd never heard the term 'cosy crime'." The inevitable screen adaptation is produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Chris Columbus, the maker of Home Alone and the first two Harry Potter films. Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie play four pensioners in the same retirement community who hit upon an unusual hobby: solving mysteries. Released on 28 August on Netflix Nobody 2 Bob Odenkirk, the star of Better Call Saul, doesn't look like a typical Hollywood action hero – but that's one reason why Nobody (2021) was so entertaining. The idea was that Odenkirk's character, Hutch, was a mild-mannered, middle-aged suburban dad. But it turned out that he had a secret past as a government assassin, so when he got tangled up with Russian mobsters, we had the cathartic pleasure of seeing this average-looking fellow participating in some of modern cinema's most gloriously brutal fight scenes. In the sequel, Hutch is on a summer holiday with his wife (Connie Nielsen) and children when a crime boss (Sharon Stone) interrupts their family time. "For me, what mattered in the second movie was: what's something that a couple could relate to as a tension in their life," Odenkirk said in Discussing Film. "One of the big ones in America is the inability to take a break and not work constantly or worry about our jobs… Hutch just can't do it. Most people can't do it. I've struggled to do it myself."
