00:00And reviving a cult classic? No pressure.
00:04Oh, a lot of anxiety, a lot of anxious nights, sleepless nights.
00:08The cast of Freakier Friday talk honoring the original movie.
00:12That haunted me before I did it.
00:16Taylor's...
00:17Not like this spring.
00:18Okay, let's move on now to Freakier Friday.
00:21The newly released sequel has this feeling nostalgic.
00:23So when we chat with Chad Michael Murray,
00:26we have to bring up one of the most memorable scenes from the original.
00:30Give me a sign.
00:34Hit me, baby.
00:36It's funny, that haunted me before I did it.
00:39I was so terrified.
00:41I was so terrified because I'd never done anything like that.
00:43And then we were doing it in the neighborhood that night.
00:45And it was a full suburban neighborhood and people were out watching.
00:48I was like, oh my gosh.
00:49But now it's become so ridiculous that my kids will say,
00:53Alexa, play Chad Michael Murray.
00:55And then, boom, always just singing whatever the heck comes to our minds at home.
01:00Everything in our home life is a song.
01:02I swear.
01:04And, um, like, she's...
01:05She can sing.
01:06And my daughter can sing really well.
01:09I mean, not so much, but I'm working.
01:11Okay, I'll let you know when it's time for you to make your sexy grand entrance.
01:15Sexy grand entrance?
01:18Oh, like that.
01:20Stepping back into his role as Lindsay Lohan's love interest in Freakier Friday
01:24was a no-brainer for Chad Michael Murray,
01:27but a nail-biter for castmate Nanny Jacinto.
01:31It's bad luck for the bride and groom to kiss before they say I do.
01:34But how long?
01:34For a long time.
01:35Oh, a lot of anxiety.
01:37That's, uh, yeah, a lot of anxious nights, sleepless nights,
01:40trying to figure out if I'm doing the accent right,
01:42if I'm gonna step into this family
01:44with the right kind of personality and tone.
01:47But, no, these guys made me feel so welcome.
01:50And they're such pros, you know?
01:51You can't help but live up to their work ethic.
01:54And, yeah, it was a great time regardless.
01:57Luckily, I think, well, we did have a dialect coach
02:00that kind of helped us out,
02:01so I think we were kind of tuned in.
02:03And, yeah, maybe I got a little look from Lindsay every once in a while,
02:06so that kind of helped me out.
02:07Yeah.
02:07Be like, okay, maybe I can do it.
02:08What are you doing?
02:09But one thing these co-stars do have in common,
02:12they love to dance.
02:14This guy with his shirt off?
02:15Come on.
02:16That way, Big Jack got cut, boy.
02:17You just take your shirt off.
02:18Boom, done.
02:19We'll do the Merry Gentleman 2.
02:21Yes, I agree.
02:22More merry, more gentlemen,
02:23and you will be my competition,
02:25my stiff competition.
02:28And we'll get out there and, yeah, no pun intended.
02:31And we'll get out there and, yeah,
02:33he'll charm the world.
02:35Shout out to the Merry Gentleman.
02:36When in doubt, body roll.
02:40So, like, that was one of the things
02:41that we were doing when we were filming that,
02:42is the guys were just like,
02:43look, Chad, if you lose a step or you lose the count,
02:46just when in doubt, body roll, and you'll be good.
02:48It's like, okay, all right, good, I can do that.
02:50I can do it.
02:50And half the time, you'd look over,
02:52and you'd see somebody,
02:52and there's body rolling,
02:54and they lost count.
