ACTRESS Jamie Lee Curtis, 65, looked barely recognizable on the set of Freaky Friday 2.
The actress ditched her iconic short hair for long gray locks.
Jamie stepped out of her trailer, sporting long grey hair, as she waited for her car to transport her to the set of Freaky Friday 2 yesterday.
While she waited, Jamie was seen in black trousers and a black cardigan.
Filming for the highly-anticipated film began late last month and is scheduled to premiere in 2025.
While Jamie is known for her star-turning role in the Halloween franchise, many fans resonated with her character Tess Coleman in the 2003 film Freaky Friday.
Last year, Jamie spoke with The New York Times about the moment she knew a sequel to the Disney film was long overdue.
“As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday,” she told the outlet.
“Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.'”
The 2003 film is a remake of the 1976 movie of the same name that follows Jamie’s character and her daughter, Anna (played by Lindsay Lohan), who switch bodies.
The mother-daughter duo must learn to adapt to each other’s life without anyone noticing while they try to undo the curse.

CO-WORKERS AND FRIENDS
In addition to Jamie reprising her role, her on-screen daughter Lindsay will also be taking back her role as Anna.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Lindsay said she was “blessed” to have Jamie in her life as she spoke about the upcoming film.
“It’s going to be a really freaky Friday,” Lindsay revealed. “Much freakier than you would expect.”
On her friendship with Jamie, The Parent Trap actress said, “Jamie and I have stayed in touch over the years.
“They always say when you have a best friend or someone that you’re really close with, if you cannot see them for years and years, but when you see them again, it’s like you’ve never separated.”
Jamie also praised Lindsay to The New York Times.
“Lindsay was as fluid as I was,” Jamie said on first working with her Freaky Friday co-star.
“If you look at The Parent Trap, she has a facility as an actor that is really impressive.
“It was a big job. It was a big production. And our relationship was very easy.”

FREAKY PLOT
As the film is in production, fans of the movie are wondering who else is reprising their role.
In addition to Lindsay and Jamie, Mark Harmon will also be returning.
Two weeks ago, Chad Michael Murray, who plays Lindsay’s love interest Jake, was seen on set to take back his role.
In Lindsay’s conversation with GMA, the Mean Girls star revealed she will have a daughter in the film.
Her on-screen child comes after the actress welcomed her son Luai with her husband Bader Shammas in July last year.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lindsay and Jamie’s characters will switch bodies — this time with two teenage girls.
“A sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist, the film picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis,” the Disney logline read.
“Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter.
“As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.”
The new adaptation is set to be directed by Canadian writer and Director Nisha Ganatra.
