Manny Jacinto Will Play Lindsay Lohan's Husband in Freaky Friday 2

As a longtime fan of both Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, I can’t help but feel excited about the upcoming sequel to “Freaky Friday.” The title alone, Freakier Friday, sounds like a fun ride that promises to surpass its predecessor in every way. The addition of Manny Jacinto to the cast is particularly intriguing, given his versatile acting skills showcased in projects like The Good Place and The Acolyte.


During Disney’s D23 Expo last Friday, actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan revealed some thrilling updates, including the title of the much-anticipated sequel to ‘Freaky Friday’, now known as ‘Freakier Friday’. The movie has been generating a lot of buzz, but the most intriguing disclosure was saved for later when Curtis and Lohan spoke with Entertainment Weekly about Manny Jacinto’s role in ‘Freakier Friday’. Although it had been suspected earlier, fans were taken aback to learn that Manny Jacinto will portray Lindsay Lohan’s on-screen spouse in the sequel.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Curtis and Lohan expressed their views on Jacinto joining the cast, highlighting the mystery surrounding the specifics of the movie. Furthermore, Lohan commented positively about Manny, saying he’s “charming” and “hilarious.”

“Manny plays Lindsay’s husband. But that’s like as much as we can say.”

As a dedicated fan, I’m excited about Manny Jacinto stepping into the spotlight for the upcoming sequel. His hilarious performance as Jason Mendoza in “The Good Place” displayed his comedic prowess, while his recent role in “The Acolyte” showcased his versatility when tackling complex characters. I have full confidence that he’ll bring a rich depth to the character in “Freakier Friday.”

But What Does This Mean for Chad Michael Murray’s Character?

The storyline for Freakier Friday primarily focuses on Anna Coleman, a single mother for quite some time, who’s now planning to wed Eric Davis, a British restaurateur portrayed by Manny Jacinto. Unlike the original, this film introduces intriguing family dynamics as Anna navigates the blending of two families. The movie also delves into her relationship with her daughter Harper, who is less than enthusiastic about her mother’s upcoming marriage.

In the upcoming sequel, several key characters from the original film will be reprising their roles: Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman, Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman, and Chad Michael Murray as Jake. Notably, Jake, portrayed by Murray, was a beloved character in the first movie as Anna’s romantic interest. Although Curtis hinted at Murray’s involvement by stating “Chad is in it. And boy, oh boy, is Chad in it,” the fact that Jake and Anna didn’t end up together leaves many wondering about their relationship dynamics.

In the sequel, the reappearance of Chad Michael Murray’s character sparks curiosity among viewers. Fans are eager to discover how Jake’s part unfolds, given the presence of Jacinto’s Eric. Regardless, Freakier Friday promises to stay true to its roots while delving into fresh concepts and interpersonal dynamics in an unexpected manner.
