Jamie Lee Curtis Reacts to ‘Freaky Friday 2’ Paparazzi Photo Leak, Calls It an ‘Intrusion’ of Filmmaking: ‘We’ve Tried So Hard to Keep Our Story a Secret’

The long-awaited “Freaky Friday” sequel features the returns of Curtis and her original co-star Lindsay Lohan. A paparazzi photo of the two stars filming a scene at the beach leaked online. “Because other outlets have posted it, I am going to take advantage of the intrusion of a paparazzi picture into the creative process of filmmaking,” Curtis wrote defiantly on Instagram. “We have tried so hard to keep our story a secret and private until it’s time for release but once in a while an image comes out, and it doesn’t tell you anything about the story or about what’s going on with the characters but it does show the joy and fun that we had making ‘Freakier Friday’ and we know it will be the experience that you will have in the theaters next year.” “Yes, you heard me…The theaters,” the Oscar winner added. “The place we all go and enjoy a shared experience in the dark while munching popcorn and candy and laughing together and sometimes crying together.
Until then.” Ahead of the sequel’s official production wrap, Lohan took to her own Instagram to write that “my heart is so full.” “It’s been such a great time making this film,” Lohan added. “The wonderful cast, crew and everyone from Disney Studios have invested so much time and love into making this movie!
I’m so grateful to have made this film, a story of family, mothers and their children and a film filled with love, laughter and a ton of heart!
