Hilary Duff was intimidated by Jennifer Coolidge while working on the 2004 movie “A Cinderella Story” together.

The “Lizzie McGuire” alum reminisced about working with the “American Pie” star and how Coolidge got into character as Fiona, the wicked stepmother of Duff’s character, Sam, in the modernization of the classic fairy tale.

“By the way, it’s just so much fun to watch her career,” Duff, 38, said of the Emmy-winning actress. “She just goes there in such a big way that it was really impressive and slightly intimidating as a teenager.”

“And she was mean to me, so it was a little scary, ’cause I was only like 15 and she was just, you know, mean to me ’cause she’s my evil stepmother,” she recalled.

Duff admitted Coolidge, 64, was so good in character that it made her uncomfortable.
