Lindsay Lohan had savage response to Disney exec who asked if her twin was at Parent Trap premiere

Lindsay Lohan had savage response to Disney exec who asked if her twin was at Parent Trap premiere

Lindsay Lohan played both Hallie and Annie in The Parent Trap

Lindsay Lohan's The Parent Trap must have been so good that it seemingly convinced a former Disney CEO that she had a twin sister.

The 1998 film starred Lohan in a dual role of Hallie and Annie Parker, who find out they are twin sisters after meeting at a summer camp - much to their surprise.

It's then revealed that their parents (played by Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson) divorced after their birth and raised either twin by themselves - one in the US and one in the UK.

When their dad announces his engagement to Meredith Blake (Elaine Hendrix), who only wants to marry him for his money, the twins work together to get their parents back together - and you can probably work out what happens at the end.

The Parent Trap was Lohan's film debut and has become one of her most iconic roles, along with Cady in Mean Girls and Anna in Freaky Friday.

And her performance in The Parent Trap was highly praised, however, she probably didn't think it was so convincing that it fooled a former Disney executive into thinking she had a twin sister.

She spoke about the incident recently while appearing as a guest on Andy Cohen's talkshow, Watch What Happens Live!.

Cohen asks the 38-year-old: "What's a popular role you didn't end up getting that nobody knew you auditioned for?"

Pondering the question, she then replied: "I... I really... I mean the first movie I auditioned for was [The] Parent Trap and I haven't auditioned since that."

He then followed up by asking whether it was true that a Disney executive asked the Mean Girls star at the premiere of the film 'if your sister was there'.

Lohan then revealed the question had actually come from former Disney CEO, Michael Eisner.

She said: "Yes, Michael Eisner asked 'where's your twin?' and I was so young I don't know how I even thought to say this but I'll never forget what I said, I said 'well you should've paid me double because I don't have one'."

Cohen, as well as the audience, were seemingly very impressed by 12-year-old Lohan's quick wit, as the host then said: "This is the daughter of Dina Lohan. Very good."

Though the film premiered 26 years ago, Lohan has nothing but good memories of her time on set.

She said during a cast reunion in 2020: "There [were] such lovely and beautifully written moments, funny but just heart-wrenching because it’s like, missing that person in your life and then finally having that person.

"You forget … how much you miss people until you’re actually with them and you haven’t seen them in a while. And I think those scenes really tear me up."
