The Mean Girls star makes Simpsons history as she voices Maggie Simpson speaking for the first time in the groundbreaking Fox episode
Lindsay Lohan has sent social media into overdrive after teasing her role as the voice of grown-up Maggie Simpson in The Simpsons.
The actress shared a tantalising glimpse across her social media channels, giving fans just enough to spark excitement whilst keeping Sunday’s Fox episode shrouded in mystery. The fleeting teaser, running for just seconds, captures the groundbreaking moment when “Future Maggie” finally speaks for the first time in the show’s storied history.
Lohan, 39, announced the news with the caption: “What a dream come true to be part of this iconic family” alongside the clip featuring her as the voice of Springfield’s famously silent tot. The enduring animated comedy has occasionally explored future scenarios, showing Maggie as either a gifted musician or thriving entrepreneur, yet her adult speaking voice has rarely been featured – making this a landmark moment.
Social media went wild within minutes of Lindsay’s revelation, though audiences will have to watch the full episode to see exactly how much Maggie actually says, reports the Mirror.
Lindsay has been enjoying a return to the limelight this summer, stepping back into one of her most cherished characters opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday, the highly anticipated follow-up to Disney’s 2003 smash hit Freaky Friday. While discussing her friendship with co-star Julia Butters, Lohan revealed that their bond is vastly different from the relationships she formed with her fellow actresses during the filming of the early 2000s blockbuster Mean Girls.
Speaking to The New York Times, Lohan raved about the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, declaring: “She’s my best friend in the entire world. We see each other every single day. That’s not even an exaggeration.”
This revelation comes as admirers have been swooning over Lindsay Lohan’s fresh-faced Freakier Friday premiere appearance, with many claiming she’s ‘ageing backwards’.
Looking back on her experience filming Mean Girls in 2004, the actress revealed that the age difference between herself and the main cast created social challenges on set.
“It was hard because Rachel McAdams was so much older,” Lohan confessed. “I was in school. [And] Amanda [Seyfried] and Lacey [Chabert] were all hanging out. It was hard for me to find where I fit in.”
During filming, McAdams, who memorably portrayed the ruthless Regina George, was 25, whilst Lacey Chabert was 21. Although Amanda Seyfried was 17 like Lohan, it appears Lindsay still felt somewhat isolated from the group.
Mean Girls became a career-defining moment for Lohan, with memorable quotes from the romantic comedy continuing to resonate in popular culture 20 years on. Even Freakier Friday featured a brilliant reference to the beloved chick flick.
Early on, audiences are introduced to Anna’s fresh love interest Eric, portrayed by Manny Jacinto.
Their whirlwind courtship unfolds through a montage that concludes with 3 October marked on the calendar as their big day.
Devoted Mean Girls enthusiasts will immediately spot the significance of this date.
In Mean Girls, as Lohan’s character Cady Heron develops feelings for a classmate, she recalls their initial encounter, explaining: “On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.”
She then addresses him directly, declaring: “It’s October 3rd.”
This particular date has since become an annual celebration amongst devotees, known as ‘Mean Girls Day’.
