Officially returning on the Freaky Friday 2 set, Chad Michael Murray plays Jake, Lindsay Lohan's character Anna Coleman's charming love interest once more. Along with the news is a first-look picture showing a noteworthy detail: Jake's reliable motorcycle is returning.
Jake's Motorcycle Returns for Freaky Friday 2
For those who haven't seen the original Freaky Friday, the movie featured Jake's Ducati Monster 600 motorcycle rather extensively. A key component of the unforgettable scene where Anna, imprisoned in her mother Tess's body, rode on the rear of the motorcycle, it represented Jake's cool and adventurous attitude.
Based on how Jake's motorcycle looks in the set picture, it seems as though he will still be a motorbike enthusiast in the sequel. This suggests Murray riding the bike once more, so adding a sentimental touch to the movie.
Manny Jacinto Enlists for Freaky Friday 2's Cast
