When it comes to Hollywood legends, Jamie Lee Curtis stands out as a true powerhouse. Known for her versatility across genres, Curtis has tackled everything from comedy and horror to intense action scenes. But did you know she also takes the wheel for her own stunts? This fearless actress got behind the controls of a fiery red convertible for a jaw-dropping scene in the 2025 release, *Freakier Friday*, alongside Lindsay Lohan.
In a behind-the-scenes featurette titled “Making Things Freakier,” director Nisha Ganatra revealed some thrilling details about this adrenaline-pumping joyride through Los Angeles. According to Ganatra, even seasoned stunt professionals from the *Fast & Furious* franchise praised Curtis' driving skills. "Even our stunt coordinator and stunt actors who worked on the *Fast and the Furious*, said Jamie Lee Curtis was one of the best stunt drivers they’d seen," Ganatra shared.
“And, then when we actually put Lindsay in the car with her, I think Lindsay was not acting, I think she was actually terrified.”
While Curtis was busy earning high praise for her behind-the-wheel prowess, Lindsay Lohan had a different experience in the passenger seat. Ganatra mentioned that Lohan's reactions during the scene seemed all too real. As Curtis channeled her inner speed demon, Lohan's genuine terror added an authentic layer to their on-screen chemistry.
In the movie, the duo, body-swapped as teenagers, take Jake's car for a spin, with Curtis driving like a teenager who just got their learner's permit. Lohan's expressions of fear weren't just acting – they were genuine responses to Curtis' fearless driving.
Curtis isn't new to performing her own stunts. Back in the day, she pulled off a daring helicopter stunt and handled all limousine stunts in *True Lies* with Arnold Schwarzenegger under James Cameron's direction. She's known for her willingness to embrace challenges and her "zero fear" attitude when it comes to stunts.
With *Freakier Friday* now available digitally, fans can witness Curtis' daring driving skills firsthand, along with bonus features that delve into the making of this exciting sequel. One deleted scene promises more insight into Lindsay Lohan's character, leaving audiences eager for more.
For those curious about the fearless side of Hollywood star power, Jamie Lee Curtis remains a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the road.
