Years After Freaky Friday’s Release, Mark Harmon Discusses What It’s Like Reuniting With Co-Star Jamie Lee Curtis

As a gamer who has spent countless hours of my life navigating through various worlds, timelines, and realities, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic excitement as I look forward to the release of “Freakier Friday.” Having grown up watching the original 2003 movie, it feels like stepping back into my childhood with the news of Mark Harmon reprising his role.


As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of “Freaky Friday” sequel, set to debut in our 2025 movie lineup, the excitement is building! The highly anticipated Disney follow-up has been generating plenty of buzz among its devoted fans and original stars. Mark Harmon, who portrayed Jamie Lee Curtis‘ romantic interest, Ryan, will be reprising his role. He’s been discussing his return to the classic 2003 film and the joy he finds in reuniting with longtime friend and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis.

Harmon is primarily recognized for creating a popular family series involving body swapping, as well as his long-standing role in the hit show NCIS. Even though he has ventured away from acting, he continues to juggle his time between Hollywood and his latest role, that of a bestselling author. The actor-turned-writer recently shared insights into his surprising journey towards co-authoring Ghosts of Panama, his connections with NCIS: Origins, and the eagerly awaited Freakier Friday with The Hollywood Reporter.

Regarding his professional and personal bond with Curtis, the former star of “Chasing Liberty” could only express positive sentiments. He is grateful for their friendship, as he shared in his statements.

Jamie has always felt comfortable around me, and our relationship has been steady since she was a teenager. Despite changes over time, I still find spending time with her enjoyable. Life is about cherishing moments spent with people you care for, and that’s something I’ve always valued in my friendship with Jamie. So, it brings me joy to continue nurturing our bond.

It’s heartening to learn that he holds nothing but affection for the actress from ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, and it’s even more delightful to know she feels the same warmth towards their friendship. Decade-spanning friendships in Hollywood, especially between veterans like them, are a breath of fresh air in such a swift-moving industry. Knowing that this bond between them, reminiscent of BTS camaraderie, remains robust only adds to the joy of watching ‘Freakier Friday’.

I deeply appreciate Harmon’s comeback for the Disney sequel, and many fans share this feeling, particularly since he unexpectedly left NCIS four episodes into Season 21 back in 2019, leaving viewers stunned. Interestingly, the actor remains connected to the upcoming Origins series, a revisit to the original characters’ early days from the long-running series. If you have been following our 2024 TV schedule, you might have noticed his name in the credits as a producer of the show or heard him providing narration for it.

It’s great to know that we can continue to spot him on TV shows and films, his presence is always comforting. I’m particularly thrilled that he’s back working alongside Curtis again, and it seems like they are both relishing their reunion just as much as fans will after such a long time.

If you fancy catching up on or re-experiencing the 2003 Disney hit movie titled “Freaky Friday“, it’s available for viewing through a Disney+ membership or a Hulu subscription.
