‘Everyone Does Botox': Lindsay Lohan Gets Honest About Beauty Standards In Hollywood
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When Lindsay Lohan made her big return to acting in 2022 with the Netflix holiday rom-com, Falling for Christmas, fans all over the world hoped that she would not only continue to bring us new characters, but step back into some old ones, as well. Now that we are well into the 2025 movie schedule, and getting closer to the release of Freakier Friday (which brings her together with Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis again), she's been talking about coming back to the profession that made her famous while promoting the upcoming film. Now, Lohan's opening up about beauty standards in Hollywood. Even though Lindsay Lohan has already admitted to being a bit 'jealous' of the young stars who are coming up today, the former child star would likely confirm that one thing hasn't changed much, and that's the Hollywood beauty standard. People (and women in particular) in the entertainment industry are pretty much still expected to look as young, thin, and fashionable as possible when not in character, a fact that has led to much negative commentary about how stars like Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, and many others look. In speaking with Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman (who has a role in Freakier Friday) for Elle Magazine, the topic turned to beauty standards when the Just My Luck leading lady noted that she's currently working on a line of beauty products (much like the aforementioned Gomez, whose Rare Beauty has made her a billionaire). That admission led to this quick exchange: Lohan: Everyone does Botox. Fineman: Last night at dinner, I was with somebody, and they're like, 'I've never had it.'And I was like, 'What? Are you kidding?' Lohan: Who are you? It's like, 'You lie.' I know a lot of people, even those who don't face near constant public scrutiny about their appearance, have had Botox. Many of us simply do not want to be wrinkled or to appear to have physically aged at all, despite the fact that everyone will do just that at some point. However, it hadn't really occurred to me that it would be so hard to buck the Botox trend in Hollywood that it's seemingly impossible to come upon someone in the industry who hasn't experimented with using the substance to erase as many wrinkles as possible at least once. Stars have begun to speak out about unrealistic beauty standards, and Lohan's co-star, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis has been among them. In 2023, after singer Karol G came out against her heavily retouched GQ cover, Curtis spoke up about how things like that hurt all women and contribute to us feeling ashamed of ourselves. Other stars have done similar things in recent years, like Florence Pugh discussing how harshly women's bodies are judged, Halle Berry talking about 'challenging' stereotypes of older women, and Demi Moore revealing the 'tremendous gift' of aging. Speaking of that beauty line that Lohan is developing, Fineman did ask for more info on how she takes care of her own health and beauty when the Mean Girls star admitted to being 'crazy about my skin and health.' Lohan added: Oh, God, I don't even know how to answer that. I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing—I'm testing them. Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I'm into lasers. Honestly, all of that sounds fine to me except the lasers. They've been used to clear up a number of skin concerns, like acne and, yes, even wrinkles, but I'll just have to turn into an old bog witch eventually if that's the best way to stop one from looking old. And, you know what? I'm totally fine with that. It'll probably finally keep the neighborhood kids out of my yard once they get a look at me.

Lindsay Lohan's A Rom-Com Queen, But I Just Realized Her New Series Count My Lies Marks A Wild 'First' For The Actress
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When Lindsay Lohan made her comeback as a leading lady in 2022, she reasserted herself as a rom-com queen as well. After taking a break for a few years from on-screen work, she returned with Falling for Christmas, and since then, she has led two more rom-coms for Netflix. Now, her next project will mark a turn for her, as she realized that her new series, Count My Lies, will be one of the 'first' times she doesn't kiss her love interest at the end of the story. Thinking back on all of Lohan's most iconic movies, some of which are the best films of the 2000s, they basically all include idealistic love stories and swoon-worthy love interests. Mean Girls has Aaron Samuels. Freaky Friday has Chad Michael Murray's Jake, and he's returning for Freakier Friday, too. Just My Luck featured Chris Pine in his earlier acting days. And the list goes on. To that point, when Elle asked Lohan why she was excited to take on a dramatic TV series as he next project, she said: It's going to be nice to do something different. I was talking to the writers and showrunners yesterday and told them, 'I don't know if you realize, but this is the first time where I don't have to have a romantic interest, where I don't have to kiss someone at the end of the movie.' Which is so refreshing—to not have to be that girl for once. I totally get where Lohan is coming from. While I am a champion for the best rom-coms and Lohan's place among the stars of this genre, you also don't need romance in every project for it to be good. Not to mention, especially since Lohan's last three movies (all of which you can stream with a Netflix subscription) were rom-coms, I agree that it will be 'refreshing' to see her in something totally different. Count My Lies by Sophie Stava on Amazon for $18.59. Before you watch Lindsay Lohan in the upcoming Hulu adaptation of Count My Lies, you can buy the book on Amazon. View Deal For some context, Count My Lies, the new show Lohan was discussing, is in development at Hulu. It will be a book-to-screen adaptation of Sophie Stava's novel of the same name, and the actress will play Violet Lockhart, a wealthy person who hires a woman named Sloane to be her child's nanny. However, Sloane is a liar; she fibbed her way into this job. But Violet and her husband Jay have their own secrets, too. What follows, as the synopsis says, is a 'breakneck, unputdownable thriller about the secrets we keep, and the terrifying dangers that lurk just under the images we spend so much time trying to maintain.' So, no, I don't think this show is going to end with a sweet kiss and a happily ever after. Overall, this project seems wild, and I can't wait to watch it. The premise alone has me hooked. However, the fact that it will also mark Lohan's first leading role in a TV series, alongside the notion that it won't be a rom-com that ends with a kiss, has me even more sat. Noting that she does 'love the book' and she's looking forward to doing 'something different,' it's clear Lohan is excited about what's to come as well. So, as we learn more about Count My Lies and how it differs from the other films we know and love from the actress, we'll keep you posted. In the meantime, you should go back and watch her old rom-coms, because they're still just as beloved as ever, and don't miss her long-awaited film on the 2025 movie schedule, Freakier Friday, as it hits theaters on August 8.

Lindsay Lohan quits Netflix rom-coms for good after 'manifesting' her next role
Lindsay Lohan has no plans to make anymore rom-coms in the future, after 'manifesting' her partnership with Netflix. The Mean Girls icon is currently preparing to grace the big screen once again in upcoming Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday – which will be released on August 8. Having been in the spotlight since the age of 12, thanks to her dual role in the Parent Trap, she previously took a step back to focus on herself, and started a new life in Dubai with husband Bader Shammas. In recent years, the 38-year-old switched things up and led the way in three films on the streaming platform, 2022's Falling for Christmas, and Irish Wish and Our Little Secret – which both came out last year. When asked about her return to acting, dubbed the Lohanassaince by loyal fans, Lindsay told Elle Magazine: 'It was really Netflix. And I was manifesting it. During Covid, I was like, 'I want to work with Netflix.' I kept writing it in my journal and saying it. And then that's what happened. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. 'I was like, 'Oh, it'd be nice to do three films with them, and then see where that goes. And then I definitely want to do my first feature back with Disney.' So I manifested that, and I'm manifesting this movie now.' However, unpacking her comeback, the Just My Luck actress – who welcomed son Luai with the financier in 2023 – confirmed that she is officially stepping out of her Netflix rom-com era and looking ahead to other projects. 'I always want to make movies like that – things that make people happy and bring people together,' she continued. 'I love making movies for that reason – for people to escape and find something that they can take into their own life and realize everything's going to be okay. 'But with Netflix, I was like, 'Okay, now we need to be thinking about other stuff.' I can't do movies like these forever.' Lindsay left us all delighted when she popped up as a spoiled hotel heiress in 2022 flick Falling for Christmas, alongside Chord Overstreet, cementing her return to Hollywood. She worked with the streamer on a further two projects, taking on the role of unlucky in love singleton Maddie in Irish Wish, and starring as businesswoman Avery in Our Little Secret. Next, she will be reuniting with Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray for the eagerly-anticipated Freaky Friday sequel, after manifesting the Disney flick, and then wants to get stuck into some 'meatier' projects. Shedding light on what we could expect next, Lindsay teased: 'I would love to find a dark comedy like Mean Girls. That kind of meaty, good, funny movie – a smart comedy. More Trending 'Not a rom-com, just a straightforward funny movie. I'm excited to be doing this drama. I'd love to work with some dream directors.' She named Quentin Tarantino, Julianne Moore, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as people she would love to share a set with, suggesting that she could pop up in 'something Sopranos-y, since I am Italian'.

Lindsay Lohan ditches her signature red and we don't know how to react
ICYMI: Lindsay Lohan is having a major renaissance. The iconic actress and beloved singer to ~millennials everywhere~ ('Rumors' is a forever bop!) has returned to our screens over the past few years. Lindsay has appeared in films like Irish Wish and Falling for Christmas on Netflix, as well as gracing the cover of Cosmo UK (no biggie!). Now, she's gearing up to appear in the sequel to Freaky Friday, the aptly named Freakier Friday. The movie will see her team up once more with Jamie Lee Curtis as characters Anna and Tess for more body-swapping shenanigans and is due to land in cinemas in August of this year. Yep, we are veeeery excited. The full trailer has already dropped and teases a four-way body swap between not just Anna and Tess but also Anna's daughter and soon-to-be step-daughter, as well as the reappearance of Chad Michael Murray, who is reprising his role as Jake. It's gearing up to be iconic, we can't lie. In the interim, Lindsay is keeping us fed with her sleekest fashion era yet (her front row at Balenciaga last season lives rent-free in our heads). In recent months, she's also been flying the flag for a seriously chic strawberry blonde that marries the vibrancy of her signature red hair with the elegance of blonde. However, if her latest IG post is anything to go by, a new hair era is loading. Her grid post shows her with blonde, volumised tresses that are giving ~old Hollywood~. The look is courtesy of Dimitris Giannetos, who has described the shade as 'almond milk' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) However, for fans of her red hair, there's no need to be concerned: there's a possibility she's wearing a wig, with Dimitris tagging the hair piece and wig creator Noah Scott when he posted this iconic look. Whatever the story though, she looks seriously iconic here, we can't lie.
