Reddit user Nyancad asked: 'If you could swap bodies with any person for one day, who would that be and what would you do?'

When I think of the film Freaky Friday, it's Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris I think of. I saw the 1976 version multiple times on TV growing up. I've never seen the poorly received 1980s TV movie sequels or the 1995 TV movie remake.

I've also never seen the 2003 remake with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, but there's enough love for that version that a sequel with the same cast is in development at Disney.


Curtis confirmed it on Instagram.

A Jodie Foster cameo would be amazing.

The premise of all three Freaky Friday films is a one day body swap between a mother and daughter who are polar opposites.

The 80s sequels strayed heavily with fathers, sons, a magic TV and a dude named Boris. I have no idea about the musical version—yes, there was a 2016 stage musical and a 2018 TV version of that version, too.

Switching bodies with friends, family or foes in fiction—movies, books, TV, comics—is a popular plot point. But what if we could do it in real life?

Reddit user Nyancad asked:

"If you could swap bodies with any person for one day, who would that be and what would you do?"

Cashing In

"I would choose some rich party kid who's a known big spender, withdraw a sh*t ton of money and hide it for myself to find when I'm me again."

"The amount I get out of this kid is significant for me, but pennies compared to his usual spending habits."

"Disgusting amounts of loose cash lying around and the dude might think the day spent in my body was just an interesting 'trip'."

Like Zoolander

"Probably some random good looking guy and try to talk to people and see what it feels like. Are there any major differences in how people treat me or how comfortable or confident I am in my own—or rather his—skin or what it feels like to get unsolicited attention or interest.

"I know it’s not always sunshine and rainbows but I do want to know what it feels like to be like really attractive and good looking."

"For just one day."

"I am fully aware how tiresome it can be to get all that attention, being an introvert myself. But if it’s just for one day—having never had any interest or attention shown to me before—I would like to experience it."
