Even as a kid, Lindsay Lohan wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
On the Wednesday, November 20, episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Lohan, 38, if it was true that a Disney executive once asked her where her twin sister was at the 1998 premiere of The Parent Trap. (In the beloved film, directed by Nancy Meyers, Lohan memorably plays both twins, Annie and Hallie.)
The Mean Girls star confirmed that it did happen — and shared the quick-witted response she gave then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner.

Pretty Little Liars alum Ian Harding and Broadway icon Kristin Chenoweth star alongside Lohan in the romantic comedy, in which two exes must spend Christmas together because their new partners are brother and sister.
During the WWHL interview, Cohen noted that Lohan and Chenoweth's characters "were at each other" a lot in the movie.
Lohan explained that Chenoweth would sometimes feel bad about how much they had to fight in the movie. Lohan recalled, "Every time after we would wrap, we would finish a scene, our director would call cut, she'd be like, 'Lindsay, you know I love you so much
