Fans lined up for hours to get autographs and selfies with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis at the Australian premiere of Freakier Friday on Tuesday night.
But many were left in tears after the Hollywood stars ignored them while walking the red carpet at the Sydney event.
The movie stars arrived at the premiere and rushed past the fan area before heading over to the media section.
Lindsay, 39, spoke to a few Australian publications while her co-star Jamie Lee, 66, was interviewed by several media outlets.
They then quickly hurried past the fans again before leaving the red carpet event.
Many broke down in tears as they realised they wouldn’t be meeting the Hollywood stars despite waiting in line for over eight hours.

Many were left in tears after the Hollywood stars ignored them while walking the red carpet at the Sydney event
One fan got down on her knees and sobbed after discovering Lindsay had left without signing any autographs or taking any photos with fans.
Others took to social media to share their disappointment, with one person sharing a video of the fan area to TikTok.
‘When you go to the Sydney Freakier Friday premiere and Lindsay and Jamie just skip the fan area all together,’ they wrote.
‘Waited hours only for them not to come say hi. I just wanted to see Lindsay.’
They said fans and security guards were confused until someone confirmed ‘the talent has left the building’.
Another commented: ‘I was there and apparently the whole event was running late. That’s why it seemed so quick.’
‘Wtf, that’s disappointing,’ a third person agreed while another said: ‘I would be so mad.’
Lindsay looked glamorous at the premiere and flashed her trim pins in a racy black evening gown with sheer skirting.

She carried a $2,235 AUD gold Fortune Minaudiere bag in an unusual fortune cookie shape.
For makeup, Lindsay chose a porcelain base with rosy blush and a soft pink lipstick, while wearing her blonde locks down in soft waves.
The star finished her ensemble with a delicate diamond necklace and matching earrings.
Jamie, 66, was also looking much younger than her years as she posed beside Lindsay against the media wall.
The veteran actress stunned in a semi-sheer maxi dress that skimmed her impressive figure.
She added a pair of nude, suede heels and kept her accessories light, wearing glistening baguette earrings.
For makeup, Jamie went for a clean look with lots of highlighter and a pink lip gloss, while styling her trademark pixie haircut softly spiked.
In 2003, Jamie Lee and Lindsay starred in the smash hit comedy, Freaky Friday, which sees the two characters switch bodies.

Fans had long hoped for a sequel to the iconic comedy but had an agonising wait, as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas – more than two decades after the original.
Jamie Lee recently revealed why there was such a long gap between the two releases as she admitted she has long had her eye on a follow-up movie.
Appearing on The One Show, Jamie revealed they had to wait until Lindsay was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work.
‘The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, people would ask me about the movie over and over again,’ she shared.
‘And finally someone in Australia said, “well she is” and I was like “what do you mean?” because I know her as this young girl, so I don’t know how old she is.
‘Someone told me and I was, like, “Oh! Well maybe we can make the movie. Let’s go!”‘
Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman.
It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other’s life.
Despite barely being able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other’s point of view.
The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store.
