Lindsay Lohan’s Witty Response To Disney CEO About Playing Twins in The Parent Trap Will Leave You In Splits; Find Out

by

Ah, Lindsay Lohan! A name that echoes through the annals of my childhood, a beacon of light in the vast ocean of pop culture. From her twin-defying portrayal in The Parent Trap to her bold negotiations with Disney’s CEO, young Lindsay was nothing if not audacious.

In her prime and as famous as it gets, teenage Lindsay Lohan once argued with Disney’s CEO that she should be paid double for her role in the beloved movie The Parent Trap, released in 1998. Even though she didn’t have a twin, Lohan’s exceptional talent at playing two identical sisters in the film left fans doubting they were watching the same actress.

In her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the actress from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen shared stories about the playful banter she engaged in with Disney’s CEO Michael Eisner following the release of the film. Eisner had asked Lohan, “Where is your twin?”, to which the young actress responded wittily.

As a die-hard fan, let me tell you all about an amusing moment from the set of “Just My Luck.” During an interview with Andy Cohen, the lovely Lindsay Lohan hilariously recounted her genius idea for payment. She said, “I was so green, I can barely believe I thought of it, but it’s a memory that will stay with me forever. I told them, ‘Well, you should have given me double the money because I wasn’t playing one character!’

For those unfamiliar, The Parent Trap is a cherished movie remake directed by Nancy Meyers. In this film, Lohan portrays both Hallie and Annie, two sisters who were born apart and encounter each other at a summer camp. To bring their parents together, played by Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson, they cleverly swap places within their families as part of an intricate plan.

This film is a cinematic interpretation of Erich Kästner’s 1949 novel “Lisa and Lottie” (originally titled “Das doppelte Lottchen” in German). At the box office, it earned an impressive 92.1 million USD, surpassing its production budget of only 15 million USD.

Lindsay Lohan has shown a keen interest in reprising her role for a remake, but only if it’s directed by Meyers. In another project, she’ll be collaborating with Jamie Lee Curtis on “Freakier Friday,” the follow-up to their 2003 Disney film, which is scheduled to release on August 8, 2025.
