Lindsay Lohan has revealed she hasn’t had to audition since her notorious feature film debut in the 1998 version of The Parent Trap.
The actress, 38, casually dropped the bombshell during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, where she also shared a hilarious anecdote from the movie’s premiere.
The surprising admission came when Bravo star Andy, 56, asked whether there was another role she auditioned for that she didn’t get.
‘I mean, the first movie I auditioned for was The Parent Trap, and I didn’t… I haven’t auditioned since then,’ she said.
Fans were quick to brand Lindsay’s revelation as a ‘huge flex’ on social media, with one writing: ‘Queen. They handed her roles.’
Another said: ‘Not having to Audition for anymore roles after 12 is a huge FLEX.
‘She did so dam good playing twins in Parent Trap that honestly she’s owed an Oscar.
‘Lindsay Lohan is a true Icon!!!!!’
Echoing a similar sentiment, a third said: ‘That’s because she’s an absolute LEGEND.’
Elsewhere in her chat, Andy asked her about a rumor that a Disney executive asked where her twin sister was at the premiere.
And not only did Lindsay confirm it, but she also revealed the executive was then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner.
‘I don’t even know how I thought to say this, but I’ll never forget what I said. I said, “Well, you should have paid me double because I don’t have one,”’ she said as Andy and the crowd burst into laughter.
Lindsay played identical twins Hallie Parker and Annie James in Disney’s Parent Trap, who were separated at birth and lived in different countries… until one fateful summer camp brings them together.
While the former child star doesn’t have a twin sister in real life, she does have a younger sister, Aliana, who actually did have a small role in The Parent Trap as ‘Child at Airport.’
The Parent Trap was a remake of the 1961 film of the same name where Hayley Mills played both siblings and Maureen O’Hara and Brian Keith played the parents.
Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson played Lindsay’s parents in the film, whose children hatch a plan to bring them back together.
The film, directed by Nancy Meyers, wasn’t a massive hit, taking in just $92 million worldwide, though it did help launch Lohan’s career.
