Freakier Friday Cast and Characters: Details explored

Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman

Lindsay Lohan's Anna first appeared in 2003 as a teenager who had a strained relationship with her widowed mother. 22 years later, she returns as a mother who struggles to bond with her teenage daughter. So, in a way, the roles are already reversed for her. To make it worse, she finds herself in yet another body-switching adventure.

Freaky Friday is one of Lindsay Lohan's most popular films, but she has also starred in other memorable projects such as Mean Girls (2004), The Parent Trap (2003), and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004). Her most recent projects include the Netflix rom-coms Irish Wish and Our Little Secret, both released in 2024.

Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman

Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role of Tess, who previously saw the world through the eyes of her teenage daughter. Now, she has a much better relationship with Anna. Yet, it all comes crashing down when she finds herself stuck in her granddaughter's body. With this new twist, the fantasy comedy shows Tess facing even bigger challenges than before.

Through a career spanning nearly five decades, Jamie Lee Curtis has carved a place for herself in Hollywood, be it through a horror classic like Halloween (1978), a sci-fi epic like Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), or a screwball comedy like A Fish Called Wanda (1988). She most recently appeared in the FX series, The Bear, as Donna Berzatto.

Sophia Hammons as Lily Davies

Freakier Friday stars Sophia Hammons as Lily Davies, the daughter of Anna's fiancé, Eric. She doesn't have the best relationship with Anna's daughter, Harper. However, after the body swap, they bond with each other and enjoy living as two adults.

After appearing in Netflix's The Social Dilemma, Sophia Hammons appeared in the 2023 Hulu series, Up Here. She most recently appeared in the 2023 film, The Absence of Eden, alongside Zoe Saldaña and Adria Arjona.

Julia Butters as Harper Coleman

Julia Butters plays Harper, Anna's daughter and Eric's stepdaughter. She joins Sophia in an adventure across the town after they both inadvertently swap bodies with Anna and Tess.

Viewers might remember Julia Butters as the young prodigy who tells Leonardo DiCaprio that it was the best acting she has ever seen in her whole life, in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019). Apart from this Quentin Tarantino film, she has also starred in shows like American Housewife and movies like Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans (2022).
