Not to make you feel like the crypt keeper, but it’s been more than 20 years since “Freaky Friday” hit theaters. For Chad Michael Murray, that only made returning for the upcoming sequel that much more fun and “full-circle.”
Murray played greasy rocker Jake in the original film, by whom Anna (Lindsay Lohan) was completely smitten. He liked her, too. He just didn’t realize it because he began to fall for Anna’s mom Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) without realizing the two had switched bodies. In the end, though, things work out and he becomes the “ultimate” muse.
Now, Murray is returning to reprise the role for the 2025 sequel.
