Just days after she spoke out about her elaborate handshake from The Parent Trap being used by an NFL player, Lindsay Lohan shared a hilarious anecdote from the film's premiere.
Lohan, 38, made her feature film debut in the 1998 Disney classic, where she plays twins Hallie Parker and Annie James, twins who were separated at birth and lived in different countries... until one fateful summer camp brings them together.
The actress was promoting her new Christmas film Our Little Secret on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, joined by her Mean Girls co-star Lacey Chabert.
During a segment called Lindsay's Little Secrets, host Andy Cohen asked her about a rumor that a Disney executive asked where her twin sister was at the premiere.
Lohan not only confirmed it, but revealed the executive was then-Disney-CEO Michael Eisner, and revealed her hilarious comeback.

During a segment called Lindsay's Little Secrets, host Andy Cohen asked her about a rumor that a Disney executive asked Lohan where her twin sister was at the premiere (above, July 1998)
'I was like and I was so young, I don't even know how I thought to say this, but I'll never forget what I said. I said, "Well, you should have paid me double because I don't have one,"' Lohan said as Cohen and the crowd burst into laughter.
While Lohan doesn't have a twin sister in real life, she does have a younger sister, Aliana, who actually did have a small role in The Parent Trap as 'Child at Airport.'
The Parent Trap was a remake of the 1961 film of the same name where Hayley Mills played both siblings and Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith played the parents.
Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson played Lohan's parents in the film, whose children hatch a plan to bring them back together.
The film, directed by Nancy Meyers, wasn't a massive hit, taking in just $92 million worldwide, though it did help launch Lohan's career.
Lohan was also asked on WWHL if there was another role she auditioned for that she didn't get, when she made another surprising admission.
'I mean, the first movie I auditioned for was The Parent Trap, and I didn't... I haven't auditioned since then,' she revealed.
She also admitted that the dress she wears on the poster of her new movie Our Little Secret - debuting on Netflix November 27 - she kept.

Lohan and her husband Bader Shammas welcomed their first child Luai in July 2023, and when asked about motherhood, she said, 'It's the best.'
The actress also confirmed that she wants to have more children at some point, while confirming she will have new music out at some point.
'I have, yes,' as Andy asked if it was for her Freaky Friday sequel since her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis said it was, 'the song of the summer.'
She also teased the Ann-Margaret biopic she's attached to star in, stating, 'We're working on the story. It has to be the way she wants it to be, so I really want it to be special.'
