Lindsay Lohan's Memorable 'Parent Trap' Premiere: The Double Paycheck Joke
Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan recently recounted a memorable moment from the premiere of her hit 1998 movie, "The Parent Trap", revealing a witty exchange she had with then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner. During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen", Lohan shared the story that still brings a smile to many faces.
At the tender age of 12, Lohan dazzled audiences by playing twin sisters, Hallie and Annie Parker, in "The Parent Trap". The film, directed by Nancy Meyers, became a beloved classic, grossing over $92 million worldwide—a financial triumph given its $15 million budget.
However, during the film's premiere, Eisner apparently didn't realize that both twins were played by Lohan, leading to an amusing misunderstanding. When Eisner inquired about "her twin's" absence, Lohan quickly quipped, "Well, you should have paid me double because I don’t have one".
This cheeky remark has resonated over the years as a humorous example of Lohan's quick wit and confidence. While Lohan has never publicly disclosed her earnings from the film, her demand for "double pay" highlighted a broader conversation in Hollywood about fair compensation for actors, especially those in multi-role performances.
Reflecting on her career during the interview, Lohan expressed openness to a "Parent Trap" reboot—provided Nancy Meyers is involved, stating, "I mean, if Nancy Meyers was a part of that, yeah. I would never say no to Nancy".
Lohan's journey from child star to adult actress has been eventful, marked by public struggles and personal comebacks. However, with recent projects like "Falling For Christmas" and an upcoming role in "Freakier Friday", Lohan's career seems to be on a positive trajectory once again. As she embraces new opportunities, fans are eager to see her bring the same charm and talent to future projects that she did as a young actress in "The Parent Trap."
