At the red carpet premiere of The Parent Trap, Lindsay Lohan delivered the ideal remark to the CEO of Disney.
During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Wednesday, Nov. 20, the 38-year-old actress, who was 12 years old at the time of the 1998 event, shared a memory with her co-star Lacey Chabert, 42, from the Mean Girls film.
The heroine of Our Little Secret disclosed that at the premiere, Disney CEO Michael Eisner approached her and inquired, “Where is your twin?”
In her response, Lohan, who portrayed Hallie and Annie, who were separated at birth, recalled mentioning her salary from the comedy Parent Trap.
“I was so young that I am unsure of how I came to the conclusion that I did, but I will never forget what I said.” I responded, “You should have compensated me at double the rate, as I do not possess one.” Cohen, who is 56 years old, recalled Lohan.
Upon hearing Lohan’s response, Cohen gave her a high-five, and Chabert’s reaction was an astonished “Oh!”
This week, WWHL’s Instagram page has been flooded with praise for Lohan’s response. One commenter stated, “My mantra is ‘You should’ve paid me double,’ and I’m not even playing twins.” Another individual declared that Lohan was “a star from the very beginning.”
Cohen also inquired of Lohan on WWHL, “What is the most popular role you auditioned for but did not receive that nobody knows about?” Her response is being referred to as “iconic” by her Instagram followers.
Lohan responded, “I mean, the first film for which I auditioned was The Parent Trap, and I have not auditioned since then.”
Netflix’s Christmas rom-com Our Little Secret, which also features Kristin Chenoweth, Ian Harding, Jon Rudnitsky, Dan Bucatinsky, and Mean Girls co-star Tim Meadows, is Lohan’s most recent role.
The actress previously disclosed to PEOPLE the significance of these holiday films to viewers and the emotions they evoke in her.
Lohan stated, “I have been fortunate enough to observe how they become a part of families’ traditions, and I continue to derive immense pleasure from being involved in an endeavor that can lift individuals during this special time of year.”
Our Little Secret will be available on Netflix on November 27.
