Just days after she spoke out about her elaborate handshake from The Parent Trap being used by an NFL player, Lindsay Lohan shared a hilarious anecdote from the film’s premiere.
Lohan, 38, made her feature film debut in the 1998 Disney classic, where she plays twins Hallie Parker and Annie James, twins who were separated at birth and lived in different countries… until one fateful summer camp brings them together.
The actress was promoting her new Christmas film Our Little Secret on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, joined by her Mean Girls co-star Lacey Chabert.
During a segment called Lindsay’s Little Secrets, host Andy Cohen asked her about a rumor that a Disney executive asked where her twin sister was at the premiere.
Lohan not only confirmed it, but revealed the executive was then-Disney-CEO Michael Eisner, and revealed her hilarious comeback.
