What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

In the 2003 film Freaky Friday, the oldest cast member at the time of filming was Harold Gould.

Specific Details:

Role: He played Alan Coleman, the grandfather of Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and Harry (Ryan Malgarini), and the father of Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis). His character is often remembered for his recurring fear of earthquakes and his supportive, gentle presence during the family's chaotic body-swap ordeal.
Age at Filming: Harold Gould was 78 or 79 years old during production. He was born on December 10, 1923. Principal photography for the film took place between October and December 2002; consequently, he spent most of the filming period at age 78, turning 79 just as production was wrapping up in December.

He was approximately 12 years older than the next oldest major cast member, Lucille Soong (born in 1935), who played the restaurant owner’s mother (often referred to as "Pei-Pei's Mom" or the "Fortune Cookie Lady").
