Lindsay Lohan Reunites With The Real-Life Parent Trap Twin
The actor played Hallie and Annie Parker in the ’90s remake.
Twenty-six years after The Parent Trap’s release, Lindsay Lohan reunited with the real-life Hallie Parker, who she played in the 1998 classic.
On July 17, the film’s director, Nancy Meyers, shared a photograph of Lohan posing with her daughter, Hallie Meyers-Shyer, who inspired the actor’s Parent Trap character.
“A Camp Walden reunion,” Meyers captioned the post on Instagram, referencing the movie. “Were they Navajos or Arapahoes? Well one of them was both!” Lohan quickly commented under the photo, writing, “Love you Nancy! Love you Hal!”
Filmed as a remake of the same-named 1961 movie, Disney’s The Parent Trap follows identical twins Hallie and Annie Parker (both played by Lohan) who reunite by chance at a summer camp, and plot to get their divorced parents back together.
Meyers’ daughter made a small appearance in the ’90s film, which also stars the late Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid. In 2020, the real-life Hallie posted a throwback photo of herself and Lohan on The Parent Trap set, wearing identical red, black, and white tracksuits. “We wore matching outfits for all of 1998,” she captioned the post.
Hallie Isn’t Lohan’s Favorite Twin
In 2022, Lohan recalled filming the seminal classic in an interview with Vogue, saying that she always “wanted to be more like Annie.”
“She was more preppy and reserved, and she just had a classier twist to her that I really loved,” Lohan explained. “Hallie was too American for me because I was too used to that, but Annie was my favorite.”
The actor also recently revived her roles as Hallie and Annie in a TikTok for The Tonight Show. In the clip, she hands host Jimmy Fallon some Oreo cookies. The camera then cuts to another Lohan standing behind him, wearing a Camp Walden T-shirt.
