Lindsay Lohan Breaks Silence On Reason For Moving 'Far Away From Hollywood'
Lindsay Lohan's safety remains her number one priority, and not even the celebrity lifestyle in Hollywood can change that. The actress finally explained why she left the hustle and bustle of the City of Angels behind for a simpler life overseas, where everything is regular and very orderly. Lindsay Lohan married her significant other, Bader Shammas, in 2022 and welcomed their son, Luai, a year later in the United Arab Emirates. Lindsay Lohan Is A Fan Of The Strict Paparazzi Laws In Dubai The actress, who is currently on a promotion spree for her new movie "Freakier Friday" in the United States, finally got candid about the inspiration behind her abrupt decision to leave Hollywood. In her words to the host of "LIVE with Kelly and Mark": "It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life." She continued that everyone's privacy is valued in Dubai, and she never has to worry about her son's safety from paparazzi taking unprotected pictures. Lohan affirmed that taking photos of people without consent is a very illegal offense in the country, something that host Kelly Ripa could not believe. "You can't even take a picture of someone else if you're at a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here," reiterating on the show that privacy is highly regarded in the country. The Former Child Star Is Putting Things In Place For Her Future The star moved to Dubai in 2014, where she also met her husband. Since tying the knot with him, starting a family, and getting accustomed to life in Dubai, Lohan has learned interesting things about motherhood and life. According to The Daily Mail, Lohan revealed in May that she would love to expand her family by giving Luai a sibling to play with. According to her, the world has evolved where mothers strive to do parenting right but also make time for themselves to have fun and live life. Most importantly, having just one kid comes with a yearning to double the figure so they will not have to live alone. This expansion also comes with the mother's welfare in mind; although selfish, the movie star is particular that she would need more than a child to take care of her when she is old and gray. Lohan enjoyed the company of her family, including her husband, mother, and siblings, on the red carpet for the special screening of the "Freaky Friday" sequel in New York on Monday. Lohan Picks New York Over Los Angeles In Terms Of Comfort And Security The Hollywood icon described life in Los Angeles as one filled with mental gymnastics, where she is constantly worried about getting harassed by photographers, as InStyle shared. She also compared life in New York to Los Angeles, pronouncing a verdict that she feels unseen in the Big Apple, which is precisely how she preferred things. "In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us. Everyone has their own thing going on. There's a different kind of energy in New York. I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A.," the star noted. While New York offers her a great cushion, her love for Dubai trumps it all, as she proudly registered her wish to spend more time in the Middle Eastern country. "We're based [in Dubai], but last year, we were there less than half the year. I want to spend more time there. It is nice to have a balance," Lohan stressed. The only thing the actress and her husband now have to worry about amid their newfound peace is where their son would start schooling once he clocks five. Ultimately, that might warrant their exodus back to the United States, but it is still all speculation until Lohan makes a solid decision. The Mother-Of-One Is Focused On Parenting And Living A Healthy Life The experience of birthing her child and watching her body go through several phases of changes is not one Lohan will forget in a hurry. Since welcoming her bundle of joy two years ago, the TV star has shifted her concerns to making sure she gives back to her body as much as it has given to her. As seen on The Blast, Lohan stated that she began the process by overhauling her skincare routine and diet through research to identify food sensitivities and change her life for the better. These hacks yielded enough results that speculations of plastic surgery began flying around about the actress; all of which she vehemently denied, emphasizing that time does not permit her to indulge in such vanities. But she has incorporated a few beauty treatments like laser facials, Botox, and an ice-cold splash every morning into her routine to help her achieve a blinding glow. "I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water," Lindsay admitted. "I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything," Lohan noted during her Elle interview. Jamie Lee Curtis Is Proud Of The Way 'Freakier Friday' Production Turned Out The actress could not hide her excitement about the decision to shoot the sequel in Los Angeles for so many reasons, according to Deadline. First, she noted that the movie will provide viewers with much-needed comfort and nostalgia in such a politically unstable and scary period. 'It makes you laugh, and you feel better watching it. And we didn't know last June where we would be today, and so I feel really happy,' Curtis added. The actress emphasized that the movie has a strong connection to Los Angeles, as the original film was also shot there, even though some of the houses featured in it were destroyed in the Palisades fire. But that disaster does not change anything. Curtis explained that more than ever, the sequel and the original will carry the memories and records of the 'beauty of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena forever.' Curtis remained proud that she stood her ground for the sequel to make a comeback to its home, adding that she feels younger and alive than she did 20 years ago when she shot the original movie.

While Lindsay, 39, was just a teenager when she first starred in 2003's Freaky Friday, things are much different for the star nowadays. Lindsay now shares two-year-old son Luai with Bader, 38, her husband of three years. The Parent Trap actress looked absolutely mesmerizing in a fitted white dress with flared tulle skirt and strappy heels. Lindsay, who has been praised for her gorgeous complexion as of late, coated her blemish-free visage with shimmering blush, a nude coat of lip gloss, and a dramatic dusting of eye shadow. Her long blonde hair cascade down in mermaid inspired waves while a delicate necklace injected another punch of glam.

Jamie recently told People during a joint interview with Lindsay: 'I know I can trust her. I can't say that about a lot of people. I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her. We've both been through hard things, because we're alive and life is hard. 'And we're not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.' Lindsay added: '"Safe" is a very important word to me. I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me. Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things. So it's — I know you said "trust," but for me it's "safe."' The supernatural comedy marks Lindsay's first theatrically released leading role in 18 years after overshadowing her acting career with six court-ordered rehab stints and other Hollywood wild child antics. Much has changed since Lohan first starred in the Disney film - she is now raising a toddler with her husband The original film followed a mother and teen daughter (played by Curtis and Lohan, respectively) who magically switch bodies after reading a cryptic fortune cookie. The follow-up film follows a similar plotline to the first movie, however, it features a huge twist involving Gen Z teenage girls that spells chaos for all involved. This time round, Lindsay's character Anna is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), however things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teen girl Lily (Sophia Hammons). Chad Michael Murray, who played Lindsay's on-screen boyfriend Jake in the 2003 film, also returns to his role.
