Lindsay Lohan has shared a brief teaser of her voicing grown-up Maggie Simpson, and it’s safe to say fans are excited based on social media reaction
Lindsay Lohan has sparked a frenzy on social media after sharing a glimpse of herself voicing an adult Maggie Simpson in The Simpsons.
The brief teaser, posted across her social platforms, has given fans just enough to get excited about – whilst keeping the details of Sunday’s episode on Fox firmly under wraps. The snippet, lasting mere seconds, captures the historic moment when “Future Maggie” breaks her silence for the first time in the show’s legendary run.
Lohan, 39, shared the news with the caption: “What a dream come true to be part of this iconic family” before revealing the clip of her voicing Springfield’s notoriously mute toddler.
The long-running animated series has previously dabbled with glimpses into the future, depicting Maggie as either a talented musician or a successful businesswoman yet her grown-up speaking voice has seldom been heard – until this moment.
Within moments of Lindsay’s announcement, social media erupted with responses though viewers will need to tune in to discover just how much dialogue Maggie delivers when the complete episode broadcasts.
Lindsay has been back in the spotlight this summer while reprising one of her most beloved roles alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday, the long-awaited sequel to Disney’s 2003 hit Freaky Friday.
While opening up about her bond with her co-star Julia Butters, Lohan ended up admitting that they have a very different relationship than the one she had with the actresses she starred alongside in the noughties hit Mean Girls.
In an interview with The New York Times, Lohan gushed about the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, saying: “She’s my best friend in the entire world. We see each other every single day. That’s not even an exaggeration.” This comes as fans have gushed over Lindsey Lohan’s youthful Freakier Friday premiere look which saw her ‘aging backwards’.
Reflecting on her time shooting Mean Girls in 2004, the then actress explained that the age gap between her and the rest of the main cast made it tricky to find her place socially.
“It was hard because Rachel McAdams was so much older,” Lohan revealed. “I was in school. [And] Amanda [Seyfried] and Lacey [Chabert] were all hanging out. It was hard for me to find where I fit in.”
At the time, McAdams, who famously played queen bee Regina George, was 25, while Lacey Chabert was 21. Amanda Seyfried was 17 like Lohan, but it seems Lindsey still felt there was a distance between them.
Mean Girls went on to become a defining moment in Lohan’s career, and certain lines from the romcom are still referenced in pop culture two decades later.
Even Freakier Friday included a clever nod to the iconic chick flick. Early in the film, viewers meet Anna’s new fiancé Eric, who is played by Manny Jacinto. Their whirlwind romance is shown in a montage which ends with with 3 October circled on the calendar as their wedding date. Mean Girls fans will instantly recognise the date.
In Mean Girls, when Lohan’s character Cady Heron starts to have a crush on a boy in her class, she narrates their first interaction, saying, “On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.” She then turns to him on screen and says, “It’s October 3rd.” The date is now celebrated annually by fans as ‘Mean Girls Day’.
Freakier Friday came out 22 years after the first Freaky Friday starring Lohan and she said she is grateful to be revisiting Anna at a new stage in life. The follow-up sees Lohan return as Anna Coleman, who once again finds herself swapping bodies with her mum Tess (Curtis). This time, the magical mishap also ropes in Anna’s teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and soon-to-be stepsister Lily (Sophia Hammons).
