Jamie Lee Curtis just opened up about the last-minute audition she gave for her role in Freaky Friday.
The 66-year-old American actress and film producer caught up with PEOPLE magazine at the Amazon Upfront in New York City on May 12 and talked about her role of Tess Coleman in the 2003 film Freaky Friday.
Curtis revealed, “I found out I was going to be in Freaky Friday two days before they started shooting because someone else was in the movie and dropped out.”
She shared, “I had a 10-year-old and a five-year-old at home, and I found out on that Monday I was going to be doing a movie where I played a 15-year-old and a 45-year-old.”
For the unversed, Tess was a strict mother and busy psychologist who used to switch bodies with her teenage daughter, Anna Coleman, played by Lindsay Lohan.
The True Lies star, who shares her two daughters, Ruby and Annie, with husband Christopher Guest, went on to admit she does not “remember any of it because I was now juggling like a circus performer.”
“So, my memory at the time was to simply be in the moment of the job, and then the movie came out and people loved it,” Jamie Lee Curtis noted.
