Tyra Banks Teases New Life-Size Sequel With Lindsay Lohan
Exclusive: Tyra Banks Wrote the Rap for “Be A Star 2”!
Tyra Banks is ready to shine bright, shine far and be a star once again.
Over two decades after the supermodel starred with Lindsay Lohan in the 2000 made-for-TV Disney movie Life-Size, she and Lindsay could be together once again for another sequel—with a little inspiration from Polly Pocket.
“Oh Polly Pocket, so small in size but BIG in memories and inspiration!” Tyra wrote on Instagram Aug. 13 alongside a video of Airbnb’s new Polly Pocket-themed home. “I know so many girls who put you in their pocket and sometimes would find you in the back of the washing machine!”
And the imagination started flowing, as she added, “I’m sure so many kids that loved my Life-Size movie thought of you while watching it…guess it’s time to visit this lil place and dream up another script. What say you, @lindsaylohan?”
The 50-year-old signed off writing, “xo Eve/TyTy,” a nod to her character’s name in the movie.
And fans were ecstatic over the tease, with one commenting, “We need a new Life-size movie so bad!!”
“Life size sequel please!!!!” another fan echoed, while one user is hoping it’s not a joke, writing, “Don’t play with us Tyra!!”

The original 2000 movie saw Tyra’s Eve doll accidentally brought to life by Lindsay’s Casey, with the two soon realizing they could learn a lot from each other. But in the end, Eve was ready to be great no matter where she goes, and cast a spell to turn herself back into a doll.
Tyra did don the plastic pumps again in 2018 for Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve, which costarred Francia Raisa as a toy company CEO who gets a little help from Eve on how to take a stand.
And while Tyra was happy to be stardust and moonlight once again, she was sad not to have been joined by Lindsay.
“Lindsay, there is no Life-Size without you,” she said during an interview on The Talk in 2018, via People. “We did this movie together 18 years ago and made it the cult classic that it is today.”

She even referenced Lindsay’s family, including siblings Cody Lohan and Ali Lohan, as well as dad Michael Lohan, adding, “I remember them when they were little kids when we shot together — just know that sister TyTy is sending all of you guys kisses.”
As for Lindsay, although she hasn’t discussed a sequel to the Wonderful World of Disney flick, she recently rejoined the Disney fam and is currently shooting a sequel to 2003’s hit Freaky Friday, titled Freakier Friday.
And as the 37-year-old told People in March, she was “just excited to work with Jamie [Lee Curtis] again and see how much further we can take it.”
