Lindsay Lohan said she asked former Disney CEO Michael Eisner to pay her “double” for performing two roles in “Parent Trap” when she was only 12.
During an interview on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” Wednesday night, Lohan described how Eisner, 82, asked her where her twin sister was at the screening of the famous 1998 picture.
“‘Where’s your twin?'” she questioned.
“I was so young, I don’t even know how I thought to say this but I’ll never forget what I said,” Lohan, 38 at the time, claimed.

“I said, ‘Well, you should have paid me double ’cause I don’t have one.'”
Andy Cohen, the host, said, “This is Dina Lohan’s daughter.”
In “Parent Trap,” Lohan played long-lost 11-year-old twin sisters Hallie and Annie Parker, who discovered each other at a summer camp after being separated at birth.
Following a divorce, the girls chose to transfer lifestyles after camp to see what the other parent was like. They had previously lived with one of their parents in London and Napa Valley, Calif.

The Nancy Meyers-directed film has become a fan favorite among many, grossing more than $92 million at the box office.
In 2020, Lohan and her “Parent Trap” co-stars Dennis Quaid, Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter, and Simon Kunz reunited for a special on Katie Couric’s Instagram to benefit World Central Kitchen.
The “Mean Girls” star explained how she perfected playing two roles.
“I feel like, and I don’t know if this goes for all actors, but once you put a wig on someone, you feel different,” she remarked.
“You’re venturing outside of your comfort zone and taking on the role of another character. I believe people treated me differently when I was Annie, because Annie was much nicer, and Hallie was just like me.
The ensemble also paid respect to the late Natasha Richardson, who played the twins’ mother, Elizabeth James, in the movie. Richardson died in 2009 after sustaining a catastrophic brain injury while skiing.
“Natasha had such an elegance and grace, and she was so maternal to me,” she remarked.
