Lindsay Lohan hopes Freakier Friday helps cinemagoers to "forget about what's going on" in the world

Lindsay - who starred alongside Jamie in the original film - told the BBC: "Fans love the movie and there's such a strong loyalty. It made people so happy and I like to make movies that make people feel joy.

"There's so much going on in the world now that it's nice to make something that allows people to forget about what's going on."

Jamie recently admitted that she felt "tremendous maternal care" for Lindsay after they starred together in Freaky Friday.

The 66-year-old actress starred alongside Lindsay in Freaky Friday more than 20 years ago, and Jamie admits that she developed a close bond with her co-star at the time.

She told the Guardian newspaper: "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie, and continued to feel that.

"When she'd come to Los Angeles, I would see her. She and I have remained friends, and now we're sort of colleagues. I feel less maternal towards her because she's a mommy now herself and doesn't need my maternal care, and has, obviously, a mom - Dina's a terrific grandma."

Jamie insists that Lindsay doesn't need any life advice from her.

The movie star said: "I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask."

Lindsay has been through lots of high-profile ups and downs in her life, but she recently claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before.

The actress told People: "I'm at ease in my life because I've lived, I feel like, such a long life at such a young age. I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person."
