Lindsay Lohan recently shared an adorable moment with her baby son when she found him watching The Parent Trap. While he might not have known it was his mom who was playing 11-year-old twins Hallie Parker and Annie James, Lohan said it didn’t stop her from “crying” and taking “tons of pictures.”
The actress stopped by this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show to promote her new Netflix movie The Irish Wish. At one point in the interview, host Drew Barrymore revealed that she “never watched” the movies she was in out of fear it would be “indulgent,” but confessed that she felt like she was “missing out.”
However, Lohan assured Barrymore that there was nothing wrong with watching her own movies — and admitted that every once in a while, she’ll do it herself.
“If someone wants to watch it and I’m there, I put it on and I’m, like, cooking in the kitchen or I have to run upstairs or I’m busy doing something else,” she explained, noting that she doesn’t like to hear her own voice.
Barrymore then asked Lohan for the last movie of hers that she sat down and watched.

“I just wrapped a movie four days ago and I came home from work and my son was getting ready for dinner time,” she said. “I opened the door and he was watching — The Parent Trap was on. It was just on the TV.”
Lohan continued, “I started crying because I’m like, ‘He doesn’t even know that’s Mommy.’ I was like, ‘Do I turn it off?’ He was kind of just staring — because maybe my voice is still similar to how it was then. So I was like, maybe he knows a little bit that it’s me because it sounds like me.”
The Freaky Friday star — who gave birth to her son Luai Shammas in 2023 — described the scene as “a really magical moment,” adding that she “took tons of pictures of it.”
In The Parent Trap, Lohan stars as identical twins who were separated as babies when their parents decided to divorce and live on opposite ends of the world. The girls reunite at summer camp, where they come up with the “brilliant beyond brilliant” plan to swap places with the intention of getting their parents back together. But a wrench is thrown in their plan when their father reveals he’s engaged to a much younger woman.
The Drew Barrymore Show airs on weekdays on CBS. You can check the website for local airtimes.
