Dennis Quaid, along with his co-stars Lindsay Lohan and Lisa Ann Walter, has expressed mixed feelings about the possibility of a sequel to the 1998 film “The Parent Trap.” While Lohan and Walter have shown enthusiasm for a follow-up, Quaid is uncertain due to the absence of Natasha Richardson, who played Lohan’s mother in the original movie.

Quaid also revealed that Jerry Lee Lewis had been one of his piano teachers during the filming of “Great Balls of Fire.”
Throughout the interview, it became evident that acting remains a passion for Quaid. He emphasized how much fun he now has in contrast to when he was younger and striving for success. The actor also shared personal anecdotes about his son Jack’s early interest in filmmaking.
