Lindsay Lohan teases Anna’s growth in Freakier Friday
During a recent interview with Empire, Lohan discussed her character’s growth from being a rebellious teenager in the first installment, to now being reintroduced as a mom to a teen daughter in Freakier Friday.
“The whole world looks different,” Lohan said. “Everything is about your child. But we have to remember to make time for ourselves too, live our lives, fulfill our dreams. Moms are always trying to juggle it all, and that’s what Anna’s going through in this.”
In addition, Lohan also teased the return of her character’s iconic Punk Rock band called Pink Slip, confirming that fans will once again get to her have a guitar solo.
“That punk Anna, she’s still there,” she continued. “The second I started with my guitar coach again, it was like we never left. It was the same guitar, everything. It was like it was yesterday. We made it [Anna’s guitar solo] more difficult for this one. I’m such a perfectionist; we rehearsed a lot.”
