Mark Harmon was recently seen looking nearly unrecognizable, just before Disney announced his return in the highly anticipated Freaky Friday 2.

At 72, Harmon will join Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan for the sequel to the 2003 body-swap comedy, which is set for release in 2025.

Disney has released a behind-the-scenes photo from the project, featuring Curtis and Lohan, who are reprising their roles as the mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman, excitedly posing hand-in-hand on set during the first day of filming on Monday.

Lohan also took to Instagram to share a series of clips from the Freaky Friday 2 set, highlighting her joyful reunion with Curtis. She captioned the post: “We’re back!”

Curtis shared the same video montage with her followers, captioning it: “FREAK OUT TIME.”

Meanwhile, Harmon, who is reprising his role as Ryan, Anna’s stepdad, in the upcoming movie, was spotted running errands in Los Angeles. He appeared much more casual than during his days on the CBS crime drama NCIS.

The U.S. Sun shared photos of the shaggy-haired actor on Monday as he made a trip to the trendy Erewhon Market. He was seen squinting in the bright sun while strolling down the street in a button-down shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.

He also recently appeared on a red carpet, where he seemed to embrace a more relaxed look since leaving his role as Marine Corps sniper turned special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs in October 2021.

In Freaky Friday 2, Harmon will appear alongside other familiar faces, including Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao. The sequel will also introduce new cast members like Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Sophia Hammons.
