The Parent Trap star unrecognisable in new TV appearance

Hollywood stars often undergo A-list transformations, but actor Dennis Quaid’s has left us absolutely gobsmacked.

The 65-year-old made an appearance on Extra TV this week, and it took a double take to realise it was the same star we loved watching in 1998 Lindsay Lohan film, The Parent Trap.

Meanwhile during his interview on the entertainment show, he actually focused less on himself, and more on one of his famous co-stars.

Dennis said he thinks it is "really time" for Lindsay Lohan to make an acting comeback.

The actor starred alongside the 32-year-old star in her first ever film, The Parent Trap, in which she played twins Hallie Parker and Annie James.

He was blown away by her talent, so thinks she should make another movie, having last been seen on the big screen in 2013's The Canyons.

"One of the most talented people I've ever met at 11 years of age. She took this one as her first film,” Dennis said of Lindsay.

And asked if his former co-star - who starred in British comedy series Sick Note last year - should make an acting comeback, he added , "Yeah, I think it's really time”.

Lindsay has most recently been seen in her MTV reality show Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club, which documented the opening of her Mykonos club, and she recently admitted it was a "challenge" for her to show off her life on screen.
