Lindsay Lohan, who played long-lost twins Annie and Hallie, described the reunion as 'so cool', and Dennis Quaid, her on-screen dad said that he had 'such a blast'.

Dennis also added that 11-year-old Lindsay was one of the most talented people he'd worked with, adding that her English accent (that she used to play Annie) was 'perfect'.

Lindsay also spoke about her on-screen mother Natasha Richardson, who tragically died in a skiing accident in 2009.

She said: “Natasha had such an elegance and grace and she was so maternal to me.”

And Dennis described her as "just somebody so giving and so glad to be there and transmitted that joy. It made everything that much better".

Elaine Hendrix, who played evil stepmum Meredith Blake, also spoke about how iconic her character became after the film was released.

She said: "There’s a whole generation who thinks Meredith is hashtag goals!"
