Lindsay Lohan reunited with most of her Parent Trap over the weekend for a virtual reunion that raised money for the World Central Kitchen.
During their virtual chat, Lindsay chatted with Dennis Quaid, Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter, and Simon Kunz, along with director Nancy Meyers and writer-producer Charles Shyer with host Katie Couric about the movie.
After paying tributes to the late Natasha Richardson, Nancy and Charles opened up about casting Lindsay for the roles as Hallie and Annie.
“Within two or three minutes, we both knew she had the part,” Charles shared. “She was just amazing.”
Nancy added, “Putting aside how adorable she looked, she had that quality that just sort of leapt up at you and pulled you in. I think to be a movie star and to be the lead of a movie, you need to have that connection with the camera, that screen presence. We discovered a big star. We discovered somebody that everybody fell in love with.”
Dennis also admitted at one point that he thought there might have been two girls for the twins, only to find out it was just Lindsay.
“I had such a blast doing this movie. The first thing I remember was meeting Lindsay at some kind of screen test… I remember thinking, ‘Oh my gosh. This is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Period. Forget that she’s 11 years old,’” he said.
He added, “I actually thought that there were two girls. I really did because your accent was so perfect… You were a natural. You just fell right into it.”
