Lindsay Lohan Said Her ‘Freaky Friday’ Look Was Inspired By Avril Lavigne

Back in 2003, just about everyone wanted to be a sk8er boi and channel Avril Lavigne’s signature look and sound — even Lindsay Lohan. In a new interview with The New York Times, the actress and her Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis (that’s Academy Award-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis now) sat down for a little nostalgia as the Disney classic celebrates its 20th anniversary. And, of course, they talked about the possibility of a sequel after Lohan shared that she wanted to channel everyone’s favorite pop-punk princess for the film.

“As an 11-year-old, The Parent Trap felt so big to me. I threw myself into everything: accents, green screens, playing two people. So, I felt comfortable after that,” Lohan said of jumping into the film after making her debut in another Disney classic. “Freaky Friday felt different, because I was going through all of the phases of a 16-year-old [but playing a character who was a year younger].”

Lohan went on to say that she dyed her hair in order to give her character a little punk edge — and her colorist hated the idea.

“This was the era of Avril Lavigne and punk, and I wanted to experience it,” she added. “We did white stripes in my hair. I put [the colorist] Tracey Cunningham through hell because I took my nice red hair and just bleached it.”
