Manny Jacinto played as Lindsay Lohan's love interest in Freakier Friday and he explains why being the leading man in the film was important to him. He told InStyle, "It’s wild that I get to do this. I never would have thought I’d play the love interest to Lindsay Lohan; I watched Lindsay Lohan as a kid. It’s wild what you can do if you put your mind to it."

He also told Deadline, "I mean, you don’t get to see a lot of Asian American males as a love interest, or as a solid father figure, and that was definitely the part that enticed me about it".
