• The stars of "The Parent Trap" reunited over a video call to celebrate the film's 22nd anniversary.
• Dennis Quaid said that he was impressed by costar Lindsay Lohan's acting abilities at 11 years old, and thought that she actually had a twin sister.
• "I actually thought there were two girls. I really did because your accent was so perfect," Quaid said.

"The Parent Trap" star Dennis Quaid thought costar Lindsay Lohan actually had a twin sister in real life because her British accent was "perfect."

"I remember thinking, 'Oh my gosh, that's one of the most talented people I've ever met. Period. Forget that she's 11 years old,'" Quaid, who starred as Lohan's onscreen father named Nick Parker in the 1998 movie, said during a virtual reunion with cast members.

The 66-year-old actor continued: "Then I actually thought there were two girls. I really did because your accent was so perfect."

On Monday, journalist Katie Couric released a video of the reunion, which took place 22 years after "The Parent Trap" hit theaters and acted as a fundraiser for World Central Kitchen.

Couric was joined by writer and director Nancy Meyers; writer and producer Charles Shyer; Lohan (who portrayed twins Annie and Hallie); Quaid; Elaine Hendrix (Meredith Blake); Lisa Ann Walter (Chessy); and Simon Kunz (Martin).

"The Parent Trap," which was a remake of a '60s film of the same name, marked Lohan's film debut. She portrayed long-lost twin sisters (one who was raised in California and the other raised in England) who reunited at summer camp. During the cast's virtual meetup, Quaid praised Lohan's acting, calling her a "natural." The cast also gave a shoutout to Lohan's acting double, Erin Mackey, who made it possible for Lohan to play two characters.

Shyer said that lots of girls auditioned for the roles in the movie, some of whom went on to become stars in Hollywood. Meyers said that Lohan stood out because had a mesmerizing quality and a "connection with the camera."

Elsewhere in the virtual reunion, Lohan said that she still remembers most of movie's famous handshake, Hendrix spoke about how fans have come to rally around her villainous character in the years since the movie came out, and the cast reminisced about their favorite scenes.
