Dennis Quaid says he won't make 'Parent Trap' sequel Lindsay Lohan: 'Who Wants to Touch That?' | video

As much as his costars Lindsay Lohan and Lisa Ann Walter expressed enthusiasm for a sequel to 1998's “The Parent Trap,” Dennis Quaid isn't sure it's something he wants to do after the death of Natasha Richardson. Asked if she would work with Lohan again, Quaid told “Entertainment Tonight,” “I would.”

“I would have loved it,” Quaid continued, but added, “You know, I don't know if we can do 'Parent Trap 2.' Because who wants to touch that? Natasha's not here.”

Natasha Richardson, who played Lohan's mother and Quaid's ex-wife Elizabeth in “The Parent Trap,” and the twins Lohan played wanted to reunite with their father, died in a skiing accident in 2009.

Quaid's comments came as part of a career retrospective with “Entertainment Tonight,” in which Quaid looked back on interviews he's done with the entertainment program throughout his career, as well as clips from his films. In footage from the film's 1998 release, Quaid was already praising Lohan's acting talent.

In March, “Abbott Elementary” stars Walter said of the film at the NAACP Image Awards, “I'd like to go back for another version of it — or if [Lohan] Want to come on our show, I'd love to too.”

Despite all that, Quaid shares fond memories of the project, which he credits with giving him a “second career” that has lasted. “I tell everyone under 30 that I was your babysitter,” shared Quaid, explaining how the movie is all about having kids while they do what they want to do.

Quaid ran through a list of his greatest hits in the “Entertainment Tonight” feature, starting with 1979's “Breaking Away” — for which Quaid praised both how much the film held up, as well as his own younger body. “Look at those abs. Got two guns and a sixpack, hope I don't get pulled over.”

That list included 1983's “The Right Thing.” The actor was shown an interview from the movie's promotional run in which he said that acting is “all I want to do” – a sentiment he still agrees with today. “Even more, actually. Yeah. Because it's — I'm doing it for fun now. I'm not trying to get anywhere like I was back then,” Quaid explained.

The actor praised costar Liam Neeson's work on 1987's “Suspect” and added that he keeps in touch with costar Cher only occasionally – “once in a blue moon or another.”

He also revealed that controversial but historically important musician Jerry Lee Lewis was “one of my piano teachers” during the filming of “Great Ball of Fire” — and that Lewis paid close attention to his playing. “He was over my shoulder the whole time going, 'You're doing it wrong, son,'” Quaid shared.

In an interview shown since the release of 1996's “Dragonheart,” Quaid described the movie as “a story that I think my kids would really like to see” — and the present-day Quaid noted that it's a son and actor in his own right who has become the Jack film. Liked – although not as much as Quaid's somewhat infamous “Jaws 3-D”. The actor added that Jack had a connection to their profession early on, noting that he “had a camera in his hand at the age of 4, making movies.”
