Jamie and Lindsay on Motherhood and their Respective Roles in Freakier Friday

Transcript

00:00We all felt like when we saw each other, the whole band,

00:02it felt like we'd never left each other.

00:04I forgot how much I loved the music from the original movie.

00:07And it's the original band.

00:13And then, yeah, it's just so great.

00:17I've had the great fortune of traveling around the world

00:21talking about movies.

00:22And I had the Halloween series,

00:24and that took me around the world.

00:26We went everywhere, and every country I went to.

00:29What about Freaky Friday?

00:31The energy and the enthusiasm behind the constant refrain.

00:35But what about another Freaky Friday?

00:37She called the studio directly and said make this movie.

00:41I called the studio directly because one very important fact existed.

00:47Lindsay was old enough to be the mother of a teenager.

00:49You can't do this movie without Lindsay having a teenager.

00:52It wouldn't work if Lindsay was playing the mom of a 15-year-old,

00:56but the math didn't add up.

00:58Then you would be like, wait, no.

00:59Then I did the math.

01:01I literally did, I, believe it or not, I actually did math.

01:05You're her age, minus 15.

01:07It was like, oh, oh, it'll work.

01:10And so then I happened to call the studio.

01:12And it's the first time I'm really, I'm playing a mom.

01:21I played one in labor paints for like the very second at the end, but you didn't see it.

01:24It's like, I go into labor, so I've never played a mom before on screen.

01:27So it's special to me.

01:28The necklace I'm wearing, which I wear, which I also gave to Lindsay,

01:32which has our children's names engraved on the back.

01:36I wear it in the movie.

01:37It's the first time I've ever worn something of mine as Tess.

01:41She's probably the closest to like Jamie, Tess, Tess, Jamie.

01:45I'm like, I'm very Tess-like.
