Jamie Lee Curtis refused to sing while making Freakier Friday
Freakier Friday actress Sophia Hammons said her film co-star Jamie Lee Curtis was "game for all of it" while making the movie - apart from singing.
Sophia Hammons says Jamie Lee Curtis was willing to do anything apart from sing while filming Freakier Friday.
The 18-year-old actress admired just how "collaborative" and easy to work with Curtis, 66, was when they filmed the Disney comedy-fantasy film.
Hammons told People: "That's the one thing about Jamie. She's always like, ‘I'm not going to sing.' It's actually the one thing that she's like, ‘I'm not going to do.'
"Otherwise, she's game for all of it. She's so collaborative. She is always open to other ideas and working with other people. I mean, it was awesome to get to play off of her."
Curtis lived up to doing anything, as in one scene - that eventually became a blooper - she and Hammons were "just shoving doughnuts in each other's mouths".
Hammons recalled: "I'm pretty sure Jamie ate 36 doughnuts that day. But again, she's game for it. She's game for all of it. She's awesome."
In Freakier Friday - the sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday - Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, 39, reprise their alter egos Tess Coleman and Anna Coleman, respectively, two decades after they switched bodies and had to live each other's lives, following a freak accident.
In the new film, Anna now has a daughter called Harper Coleman (Julia Butters), and a soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily Reyes (Hammons), and Anna and Tess fear their past may repeat itself with the next generation.
And Hammons learnt so much from working with Curtis.
She said: "She is lovely, she's wonderful, and she's so strong. Her existence, on set, but also just in my life, has taught me so much.
"Of course, she has given me and Julia, as the newcomers on set, she's given us advice, but I think watching her work and watching how she treats other people, specifically, has meant so much to me.
"And I can't believe I'm standing right here because I remember auditioning for the role and watching her interviews and being like, 'OK, I have to be like her.' And now we're friends. So it's been a crazy, full-circle moment right now."
And Curtis said Freakier Friday's newcomers - Hammons and 16 year old Butters - have a bright future ahead.
The Halloween star added: "The younger generation, like Sophia Hammons, who's going to carry it forward, and Julia Butters, who play the two teenagers in Freakier Friday - they're the next generation. They're the next ones up to bat."
