Lindsay Lohan breaks the mould; speaks out on typecasting and career comeback
Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan has candidly spoken about the challenges she has faced in breaking free from the image that her early fame created. In a recent interview with The Times U.K., the actress and singer revealed how growing up under the spotlight made it difficult for her to be considered for more serious and sophisticated roles. 'Yeah, I do think I was pigeonholed,' Lohan admitted, referring to her early work. '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,' she said. Despite her versatility, Lohan noted that she still has to prove herself to casting directors. 'Let me! Give me the chance,' she urged. '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.' Lohan's acting journey began early, with her breakout performance in The Parent Trap (1998). She went on to become a pop-culture icon through films like Mean Girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and Herbie: Fully Loaded. However, at the peak of her fame in the 2000s, Lohan stepped away from Hollywood. 'I wanted to take a minute,' she explained. 'I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film. I wanted to live a private, real life and wait until I felt that creative spark again.' Now back in the spotlight, Lohan is set to co-star with Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday, the much-anticipated sequel to Freaky Friday. The film, with a multigenerational twist, hits theaters on August 8, 2025.

Lindsay Lohan talks struggles with typecasting and future career plans
Lindsay Lohan is opening up about her frustration with being pigeonholed into specific roles throughout her career and her efforts to break free from that cycle. In a recent interview with The Times U.K., the actress admitted that her early fame and public persona often limited her opportunities to pursue more sophisticated roles. Reflecting on her career, Lohan shared, 'I do think I was pigeonholed.' She recalled her excitement working on A Prairie Home Companion and expressed how, even now, she still has to fight for similar opportunities. 'You know me as this, but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance,' she said, emphasizing her desire to break the mold and open doors for new roles. Lohan also mentioned that if a director like Martin Scorsese were to approach her, she would not hesitate to accept the offer. Lohan's career began early with her breakout role in 1998's The Parent Trap, followed by iconic films in the 2000s such as Mean Girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and Herbie: Fully Loaded. However, she took a brief hiatus from Hollywood in the mid-2000s to regain a sense of privacy and rediscover her passion for acting. "I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film," she explained, adding that she needed time to live her own life and find inspiration again. Now back in the spotlight, Lohan is set to star in Freakier Friday, a follow-up to her 2003 comedy Freaky Friday, which will be released in theaters on August 8. She is also set to star in and executive produce the upcoming Hulu thriller Count My Lies, marking her first role in a TV series. Looking ahead, Lohan expressed her desire to take on more diverse and classic projects, noting her craving for films with substance, like All About Eve or Breakfast at Tiffany's.

'Come out Mommy!': Lindsay Lohan's son thought she was trapped in the TV
Lindsay Lohan's son thought she had got trapped inside their television. The 39-year-old actress - who has two-year-old Luai with husband Bader Shammas - is "kind of scared" about how to handle life in the spotlight with her toddler now that he is becoming "more aware" of her fame, even though seeing her interviewed on TV left him baffled. Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (28.07.25), she said: "Actually, this morning, he was with my in-laws and my husband and I were doing Good Morning America, and he was like, 'Mommy, come out! Mommy!' "He thought I was stuck in the TV. "So now I'm like, now that he's getting older and more aware, I'm kind of scared. I don't want get confused." Jimmy stepped in to reassure Luai that the Freakier Friday actress was OK on his show. He waved at the camera and said: "Mommy's fine, Mommy's safe, Mommy says, 'Hi!' We're good, we're happy, everything's great." When it comes to showing her work to her son, Lindsay has one particular movie in mind. She said: "Herbie: Fully Loaded, because it's cars and fun." Lindsay recently admitted little Luai has already started "mocking" her. She told E! News: "I have this thing, where I'm like, 'Luai, don't do that.' "And this morning before I was going to say it, he's like, 'Don't do that, Luai,' and looked at me and I was like, 'Oh my god, he's mocking me.'" Lindsay still has over a decade to go until she has to deal with the teenage rebellion years like Jamie Lee Curtis' character did in the original Freaky Friday film. She added: "I'm not in that position with my son yet. He's still a toddler. [But] he runs! Fast, out of the house. He's like, 'Outside!' Gone." In March 2024, Lindsay reflected on the way her mindset has changed since becoming a mother for the first time. She explained to E! News at the time: "I want to do things that my son can see. But I also want to do things that inspire me. "It's a learning process — I'm having a different go at it, figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it."
