The Parent Trap’s Lisa Ann Walter, who starred inLindsay Lohan’s 1998 update of the 1961 classic film, shared a remarkable fact with fans on Wednesday.
Walter, who played the role of nanny Chessy to identical twin sisters (Lohan’s dual work), revealed on theHi Jinkx!podcastthat she herself is the mom of identical twin boys —andthey were born on the exact same day Lohan’s characters celebrated their birthday.
“They were born on the same day as the twins inThe Parent Trap— on Oct. 11,” Walter, who also has two older children, confirmed to host Jinkx Monsoon.
“I actually called [the film’s director] Nancy Meyers and I was like, ‘What hex did you put on me?'” she noted, adding, “It’s weird! They were identical twins. That’s weird.”
