For millennials far and wide, Freaky Friday's return to the big screen has been nothing short of unexpected and completely necessary. It's the dose of nostalgia we desperately needed, and Freakier Friday didn't disappoint. The sequel, which arrived almost 25 years after the 2003 favorite stole our hearts, brought Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and more cast members back.
While the 2000s original, which was a remake of a 1970s movie based on a book, featured a two-way body swap, the sequel doubles the trouble with a four-way multi-generational body swap. Considering the different ways the generations mix in Freakier Friday and the decades that have passed since Freaky Friday was released, fans are likely wondering about the cast's ages.
Let's take a closer look at how old Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chad Michael Murray, and more stars of the original were in the 2000s and see what their ages are at the time of the sequel's release in 2025. This is your "ultimate" (reference!) guide to the Freaky Friday cast's ages!
Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman
Lindsay Lohan was born on July 2, 1986, making the Anna Coleman actress 39 years old as of August 2025. When Freaky Friday was released in August 2003, Lohan was 17 years old. In the original movie, she was around the same age as Julia Butters, the 16-year-old actress who plays her daughter Harper in the sequel.
Following the release of Freaky Friday, Lohan starred in films like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, Herbie Fully Loaded, Just My Luck, Georgia Rule, Jusy My Luck, and I Know Who Killed Me. After a period of personal struggles, Lohan has made a career resurgence, including three Netflix movies and an upcoming Hulu limited series. In 2022, she married Bader Shammas, and in 2023, they welcomed their son Luai.
Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman
Jamie Lee Curtis was born on Nov. 22, 1958, making the Tess Coleman actress 66 years old as of August 2025. The Halloween star was 44 years old when the first movie was released in August 2025, just a few years older than Lohan is at the time of the sequel. In the sequel, Tess is a successful author and loving grandmother.
Curtis maintained a successful career in the 20 years since Freaky Friday, returning to and finishing the Halloween franchise as Laurie Strode, starring in Knives Out, appearing in The Bear, and winning her first Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once in 2022 among other major accomplishments.
Chad Michael Murray as Jake Austin
Chad Michael Murray was born on Aug. 24, 1981, making the Jake Austin actor 43 years old as of August 2025. He's about five years older than his on-screen love interest Lindsay Lohan was 22 years old when the original hit the big screen in 2003, though they played roughly the same age. He returns in the sequel and still has his crush on Anna's mom Tess.
Murray's best known for playing Lucas Scott in The WB/CW drama series One Tree Hill, which premiered about one month after Freaky Friday. He starred in the series for six seasons. He's currently starring in The CW's romantic drama series Sullivan's Crossing. He married Sarah Roemer in 2014 and together they have three children.
A few other stars from the original movie also appear in the sequel, though they have a bit smaller screen time. Mark Harmon (age 73) returns as Tess' husband Ryan, Rosalinda Chao (age 67) is back as Pei Pei a.k.a. Mama P, Ryan Malgarini (age 33 compared to 11 years old in 2003) has one scene as Anna's brother Harry, and Anna's Pink Slip bandmates Maddie (Christina Vidal, 43) and Peg (Haley Hudson, 39) are by her side, too. Time sure does fly, but it's great to see everyone again!
