I was pigeonholed says Lindsay Lohan
PTI
Last Updated:
London, Aug 3 (PTI) Hollywood actor Lindsay Lohan says she was typecast earlier in her career and admits she has to fight for the same even now, which she finds frustrating.
Lohan was 10 when she made her acting debut with the soap opera 'Another World" in 1996. She got her breakthrough in 1998 with Disney's film 'The Parent Trap".
'Yeah, I do (think I was pigeonholed), the 39-year-old actor told entertainment outlet The Times U K in an interview.
Lohan said working on the 2006 musical comedy 'A Prairie Home Companion", changed things for her.
'I was so thrilled to work on 'A Prairie Home Companion' and yet even today I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this — but you also know I can do that," Lohan said.
'So let me! Give me the chance. I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no," she added.
Also known for starring in projects such as 'Freaky Friday", 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen", 'The Holiday", and 'Mean Girls", the actor was at the peak of her career when she decided to take a break from the limelight in 2013.
It was only in 2022 that she returned to acting with Netflix's romantic comedy 'Falling for Christmas".
'I wanted to take a minute. I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life. I wanted to wait to get that itch again," she said, recalling it.
Lohan is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film 'Freakier Friday", a sequel to her 2003 body-swap comedy 'Freaky Friday". It also features Jamie Lee Curtis, who is reprising her role from the first installment.
Directed by Mark Waters, 'Freaky Friday" revolved around the mother-daughter duo (Curtis and Lohan), whose souls get switched after a visit to the mysterious Chinese restaurant. The next morning, both of them find themselves in each other's bodies, and chaos follows.
Rounded off by Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, and Mark Harmon, the upcoming installment will pick up the story years later from where it ended.
'Freaky Friday" was based on the 1972 novel from Mary Rodgers. PTI ATR ATR ATR

Panchayat Actor Faisal Malik Defends Anurag Kashyap's Rants: ‘Imaandaar Aadmi Satak Jata Hai'
Faisal, who began his acting journey with Kashyap's cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, described the filmmaker as someone who's worn multiple hats. Panchayat actor Faisal Malik has come out in strong support of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, offering an empathetic view on the director's often fiery social media posts. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Faisal explained that Kashyap's outbursts should be seen not as impulsive tantrums but as passionate reactions of a man deeply invested in the craft of filmmaking. Faisal, who began his acting journey with Kashyap's cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, described the filmmaker as someone who's worn multiple hats including director, writer, producer, showrunner, and poured his heart into every role. 'If you look at Anurag Kashyap's work, you will understand why these outbursts happen. He is extremely loyal. Aur imaandaar aadmi tedha hota hai thoda sa. Satak jata hai," he said, suggesting that Kashyap's honesty and integrity often manifest as emotional reactions. The actor emphasised that Kashyap's commitment to his artistic vision has made him a trailblazer, not just in the kind of stories he tells, but also in the talent he has nurtured. 'He has given several amazing directors to the industry. They are all doing so well today. This proves he is extremely dedicated to cinema," Faisal noted, underscoring that Anurag's influence goes beyond his own filmography. Faisal further added, 'So, whenever someone wrongs him or wants him to compromise with his craft, woh satak jaate hai. When it comes to cinema, he is a great man." Known for his powerful performance as Prahlad in Panchayat, Faisal's own trajectory reflects a deep appreciation for rooted, honest storytelling—values he clearly associates with Kashyap. The web series, which gained popularity during the pandemic, resonated with audiences through its simplicity and emotional depth. Featuring an ensemble cast of Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Jitendra Kumar, and Chandan Roy, Panchayat has become a household favourite and a benchmark for small-town narratives told with heart.
