Freaky Friday 2's Manny Jacinto Is Excited To Be Part Of 'The Lohanaissance,' But He Revealed The Main Reason Why He Said Yes

As a long-time fan of both Star Wars and classic coming-of-age films, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by Manny Jacinto’s recent performances, especially in Disney+’s The Acolyte and the upcoming Freaky Friday 2. His portrayal of Qimar in The Acolyte has been a breath of fresh air amidst the sea of complaints about new Star Wars content, and his addition to the Freaky Friday franchise is an exciting development for me.

Over the past few weeks, Manny Jacinto has caused a stir on the Internet with his exceptional portrayal of Qimar in Disney+’s “The Acolyte.” With so much controversy surrounding recent Star Wars content, it’s rare to find more admiration than criticism. However, Manny Jacinto’s character has become a new favorite bad-boy among fans. Some have even compared him to Kylo Ren or shared steamy photos of his shirtless scenes. Now, the actor is set to broaden his fanbase with his role in the long-awaited “Freaky Friday 2.” In a recent interview, Jacinto spoke about his participation in Disney’s upcoming film and the resurgence of the “Lohanaissance,” while also discussing why he decided to join the project.

Approximately two decades have passed since the release of the initial “Freaky Friday” film featuring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s surprising to think about this time lapse. In the upcoming year, we can look forward to a sequel of this cherished film from the 2000s, with many of its original cast members set to return, accompanied by some fresh faces. Among these new additions is 36-year old Manny Jacinto. Growing up during Lindsay Lohan’s prominent acting years, Jacinto expressed admiration for her in an interview with GQ. However, he also disclosed a more personal motivation for joining the project – a connection to the story that goes beyond his professional interest.

I wouldn’t have imagined joining the Lohanaissance, with her being such a symbol. Yet, I accepted this part as it presented yet another significant change and an unfamiliar experience for me.

Lindsay Lohan’s comeback is genuine, and for many fans who idolized her during her rise to fame in the early 2000s, she continues to be an icon. Notable films like “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” “Get a Clue,” and “Mean Girls” showcased her talent as a high school movie star. After taking a break from acting, Lohan has returned with two Netflix romantic comedies and a secret appearance in the “Mean Girls” reboot, once again delighting audiences.

Manny Jacinto is fortunate to be involved in “Freaky Friday 2,” and it will be intriguing to witness him take on a new acting role. As of now, it’s uncertain who he will portray in the film. There’s a possibility that he could be the new love interest for Lindsay Lohan’s character Anna Coleman, who is set to become a stepmother in this sequel. If this is true, then the plot promises to be engaging given Chad Michael Murray’s return as Anna’s former flame, Jake. I, for one, am excited about the prospect of an enticing love triangle on screen.

Manny Jacinto is certain to excel in whatever part he takes on, given his impressive acting abilities. Let’s raise a glass to his upcoming role in the “Lohan Renaissance” and anticipate an enticing performance from him.

The exact date for the release of “Freaky Friday 2” in theaters is still unknown, but it’s scheduled to be shown in theaters during the 2025 film lineup. In the interim, you can watch the initial movie by signing up for an active Disney+ account and streaming it online.
