People Imagine Who They Would Like To Switch Bodies With For A Day

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:

"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."

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
