In the movie world, we often hear behind-the-scenes stories that add a touch of magic to our favorite movies. One of these anecdotes relates to the family comedy “Un Viernes de Locos”, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.
The film tells the story of Dr. Tess Coleman (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (played by Lindsay Lohan), who have a bad relationship because they have nothing in common. However, a mystical entanglement leads them to switch bodies, and both find themselves trapped in each other’s lives. In the end, they manage to recover their bodies, creating a genuine bond between mother and daughter.
In the scene where Tess Coleman is getting married to her boyfriend Ryan, there is a romantic moment where Anna and Jake, the girl’s romantic interest, dance and end up kissing.
Chad Michael Murray was Lindsay Lohan’s first kiss in Freaky Friday
There’s a strange story surrounding this interaction, as it turns out that this kiss was Lindsay Lohan’s first and she was extremely nervous before recording it. That’s when Jamie Lee Curtis with her experience and warmth decided to step in.
This is what Chad Michael Murray, the actor who played Jake, has said in various interviews, such as the one he had on the “Hollywood Reporter” portal in 2023 accompanied by other personalities who participated in the film.
According to him, it all proved overwhelming from the start because people asked him to help Lindsay feel calm when the kiss was filmed, but he didn’t know exactly how to do it since he was 19.

The actor, now 42, said that Jamie Lee Curtis decided to take action and help Lindsay not think too much about the kiss, because nothing important was going to happen even if she had no experience with it. Although she gave him words of encouragement, the next thing was to show him vividly and vividly that a kiss is “no big deal” and so she grabbed Chad by the neck and kissed him.
It took him a few seconds to process that he had actually kissed Jamie Lee Curtis, which he remembers fondly because every time he tells the story, the people around him don’t hesitate to squeal with excitement. As an extra piece of information, the actor clarified that even his father is jealous of what he experienced.
