MIAMI.- Lindsay Lohan He reflected on how growing up in the media spotlight affected him. In a recent interview he gave to Vogue Arabiathe actress asserted that the success she achieved in the first decade of the 2000s, specifically after the premiere of Mean Girls It was overwhelming.
“I should have listened to my parents and moved back to New York. But I was young and I wanted to be in Los Angeles. And I didn’t know it,” he commented on how dealing with the level of exposure and harassment by sensational media affected him at just 17 years old.
Today, at 39 years old and mother, Lohan questions how she was not protected more in her environment.
“Although it was fun, it was difficult when I was young. It was a double-edged sword. Now I look back and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t anyone come to get me out of there and protect me more?’ You don’t know how to do that when you’re a teenager,” he added.
As the years went by, Lindsay appeared less and less on screen. The reason? He no longer felt interested in the roles that were presented to him.
“I wasn’t having fun in the business anymore. I wasn’t finding roles that I loved. It wasn’t the life I wanted to live, you know? It wasn’t a real life. It alienated me so much that I moved to the other side of the world. And I’m so glad I followed my instinct,” she said, referring to her move to Dubai in 2014.
Be reborn
Away from the chaos of hollywood, Lindsay not only found peace, she also found love. In 2020, the actress began dating Kuwaiti financier Bader Shammas, whom she became engaged in 2021 and married in 2022. A year later, they welcomed their son Luai.
During these years, Lohan resurfaced by starring in Netflix romantic comedies such as Falling for Christmas, Irish Wish and Our Little Secret.
And last year he returned to the big screen with the help of Disney with the sequel to Freaky Friday, Freakier Friday, film in which she starred and served as executive producer.
“With age comes a different kind of confidence. When I was younger, I didn’t feel as comfortable saying how I felt about a character and being involved in the process. And now I love that part. I always felt like I had too many people around me and they were leading me in a different direction. And now it feels good to steer my own ship.”
