Manny Jacinto plays Lindsay Lohan's husband in 'Freaky Friday' sequel 'Freakier Friday'
'The Acolyte' star Manny Jacinto is playing Lindsay Lohan's husband in the 'Freaky Friday' sequel, now titled 'Freakier Friday,' Jamie Lee Curtis tells EW. 'Manny is lovely. So funny,' Lohan says of her new onscreen love interest.
While Disney previously announced that the actor would join the Freaky Friday sequel in an undisclosed role, the pair tell Entertainment Weekly that the entertainer will portray the husband of Lohan's character, Anna, who, thanks to a mysterious curse, swapped bodies with her mother, Tess ( Jamie Lee Curtis), in the first film. Though Curtis refers to Jacinto as Anna's husband, the official synopsis for the upcoming film (directed by Late Night helmer Nisha Ganatra), only alludes to the younger woman having "a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter" who must "navigate challenges that come when two families merge." Director Mark Waters' Freaky Friday film became a global success at the box office for Disney 21 years ago, grossing over $160 million worldwide on a modest budget.
