Lindsay Lohan's son thought she had got trapped inside their television

Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (28.07.25), she said: "Actually, this morning, he was with my in-laws and my husband and I were doing Good Morning America, and he was like, 'Mommy, come out! Mommy!'

"He thought I was stuck in the TV.

"So now I'm like, now that he's getting older and more aware, I'm kind of scared. I don't want him...to get confused."

Jimmy stepped in to reassure Luai that the Freakier Friday actress was OK on his show.

He waved at the camera and said: "Mommy's fine, Mommy's safe, Mommy says, 'Hi!' We're good, we're happy, everything's great."

When it comes to showing her work to her son, Lindsay has one particular movie in mind.

She said: "Herbie: Fully Loaded, because it's cars and fun."

Lindsay recently admitted little Luai has already started "mocking" her.

She told E! News: "I have this thing, where I'm like, 'Luai, don't do that.'

"And this morning before I was going to say it, he's like, 'Don't do that, Luai,' and looked at me and I was like, 'Oh my god, he's mocking me.'"

Lindsay still has over a decade to go until she has to deal with the teenage rebellion years like Jamie Lee Curtis' character did in the original Freaky Friday film.

She added: "I'm not in that position with my son yet. He's still a toddler. [But] he runs! Fast, out of the house. He's like, 'Outside!' Gone."

In March 2024, Lindsay reflected on the way her mindset has changed since becoming a mother for the first time.

She explained to E! News at the time: "I want to do things that my son can see. But I also want to do things that inspire me.

"It's a learning process - I'm having a different go at it, figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it."
