Sophia Hammons on 1 Thing Jamie Lee Curtis Refused to Do Making ‘Freakier Friday’ (Exclusive)

Sophia Hammons says Jamie Lee Curtis was “game for all of it” on the set of Freakier Friday — with one exception.

While chatting with PEOPLE exclusively at the 2025 WIF (Women in Film) Honors, where Curtis received the Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award, the 18-year-old actress opened up about her experience filming the Disney movie with the Bear star. Hammons says Curtis, 66, was willing to do almost anything.

“That’s the one thing about Jamie. She’s always like, ‘I’m not going to sing,’ ” she reveals at the Los Angeles event on Nov. 6. “It’s actually the one thing that she’s like, ‘I’m not going to do.’ ”

“Otherwise,” Hammons continues, “she’s game for all of it. She’s so collaborative. She is always open to other ideas and working with other people. I mean, it was awesome to get to play off of her.”

Hammons recalled filming one particular scene — which became a blooper — where the two “were just shoving doughnuts in each other’s mouths.”

“I’m pretty sure Jamie ate 36 doughnuts that day,” she says. “But again, she’s game for it. She’s game for all of it. She’s awesome.”

In the movie, the long-awaited sequel to 2003’s Freaky Friday, Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprise their roles as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess Coleman. Anna now has a daughter of her own, Harper Coleman (Julia Butters), and a soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily Reyes (Hammons).

Hammons’ character ends up switching bodies with Curtis’ character, and the actress tells PEOPLE she “couldn’t have asked for a better person to switch with.”

“She is lovely, she’s wonderful, and she’s so strong,” Hammons says of the Halloween star. “Her existence, on set, but also just in my life, has taught me so much.”

“Of course, she has given me and Julia, as the newcomers on set, she’s given us advice, but I think watching her work and watching how she treats other people specifically has meant so much to me,” Hammons continues. “And I can’t believe I’m standing right here because I remember auditioning for the role and watching her interviews and being like, ‘Okay, I have to be like her.’ And now we’re friends. So it’s been a crazy, full-circle moment right now.”

Curtis, who also spoke exclusively with PEOPLE at the WIF Honors, says the night was a full-circle moment for her as well.

Reflecting on how she was inspired by her mother Janet Leigh’s generation to get involved in charitable work with causes like the Special Olympics, Curtis says, “The younger generation like Sophia Hammons, who’s going to carry it forward, and Julia Butters, who play the two teenagers in Freakier Friday — they’re the next generation. They’re the next ones up to bat.”

Curtis previously showed her support for her young costars when she shared an Instagram post to mark the end of filming for Freakier Friday in August 2024.
