Lindsay Lohan Told Disney CEO He “Should’ve Paid Me Double” For ‘Parent Trap’

Although Lindsay Lohan doesn’t have a twin, she had plenty of people convinced otherwise during her breakout role.

The actress recently recalled her snarky retort for then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner when he asked her “Where’s your twin?” after she starred in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap.

“I was so young, I don’t even know how I thought to say this, but I’ll never forget what I said,” she recalled on Watch What Happens Live. “I said, ‘Well, you should’ve paid me double, because I don’t have one.'”

Directed by Nancy Meyers, The Parent Trap stars Lohan as twins Hallie and Annie, who discover they were separated at birth when they end up at the same summer camp. At the end of the summer, they agree to switch places in attempt to get their mother (Natasha Richardson) and father (Dennis Quaid) back together.

During Lohan’s appearance on WWHL, Lohan also revealed if she’d ever appear in a Parent Trap reboot. “I mean, if Nancy Meyers was a part of that, yeah. I would never say no to Nancy,” she said.

Lohan reunited virtually with Meyers, Quaid, Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter in 2020 to raise money for José Andrés’ non-profit organization World Central Kitchen amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although a new Parent Trap has yet to materialize, Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are reuniting for Freakier Friday, a sequel to their 2003 Disney remake of the 1976 film, premiering Aug. 8, 2025 in US theaters.
