Lindsay Lohan reveals the real reason for her Netflix comeback
After years away from the Hollywood spotlight, Lindsay Lohan is officially back. The 38-year-old actress is once again headlining feature films, rekindling nostalgic fan love, and proving she's still got the acting chops (and vocal cords) to rock out onstage in Freakier Friday, the upcoming sequel to her 2003 cult classic. But according to Lohan, her long-awaited return to screens isn't just a comeback - it's the result of good old-fashioned manifestation. 'I was manifesting it,' Lohan revealed in a conversation with ELLE. 'During COVID, I was like, "I want to work with Netflix." I kept writing it in my journal and saying it.' Netflix soon offered her a three-picture deal, which kickstarted her return with a string of feel-good rom-coms and reintroduced her to audiences who had grown up watching her on screen. But it wasn't just about getting back in front of the camera. For Lohan, it was about doing it on her own terms. 'I definitely wanted to do my first feature back with Disney,' she said. And that wish came true, too, with Freakier Friday, which not only marks her Disney return but reunites her with Jamie Lee Curtis and the rest of the beloved Pink Slip band. 'It felt really special,' she said of stepping back onto the Disney lot. 'Because I was 10 when I auditioned for The Parent Trap. Now I'm 38. 'And to be back there at this time and have a full life and be able to share it with my husband and my son, it definitely feels unique.' The film, out August 8, is set to be a love letter to California - with scenes shot in Malibu and the Pacific Palisades - as well as to the fans who have championed Lohan throughout her journey. 'There's not a lot bringing me to the movie theaters personally right now,' she admitted. '[Freakier Friday] is a feel-good movie, which is what I want to give people.' The actress also opened up about how becoming a mother shifted her priorities and inspired her to reclaim joy through her work. 'I feel like we live in a different world now, where women make it such a point, especially in motherhood, to make time for ourselves,' she said. 'We make it important.' That philosophy carries into her everyday routine, which Lohan describes as grounded and calm. 'Waking up, writing in my journal, sipping my green tea, breakfast with my son. 'And then Pilates, making sure I go.' It's a far cry from the tabloid chaos of her early twenties. These days, Lohan splits her time between Dubai and Los Angeles, enjoying a quieter life out of the paparazzi's lens. 'Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed,' she admitted. 'In New York, there's no worry.' But she's not planning to stay in one lane. While the Netflix rom-coms offered a soft reentry, she's now looking ahead to more dynamic projects - including her first-ever TV drama role in the upcoming Hulu adaptation of Count My Lies. 'I can't do movies like these forever,' she said of the lighthearted fare. 'With Netflix, I was like, "Okay, now we need to be thinking about other stuff."' Still, no matter how serious or silly the role, Lohan's guiding principle is simple: joy. 'I always want to make movies like that - things that make people happy and bring people together,' she said. 'To escape and find something that they can take into their own life and realize everything's going to be okay.'

Lindsay Lohan and Bader Shammas attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2025 (Doug Peters/PA) Speaking to Elle magazine, Lohan said: 'I'm excited (about Freaky Friday). It feels surreal. I've never thought I would do a movie where there would be a sequel. 'It's something you don't really think about. And then when you get to do it, and bring a character that you knew so well back to life, in a sense, it's exciting. 'There's a comfort with it that you don't find in a new character. It's evolved. Advertisement 'What are they like now? How can we shoot it? So it felt really special, and so did doing my first feature back with Disney again after not doing features for such a long time. It's a really nice thing.' Speaking about her relationship with Curtis, who plays her mother in Freakier Friday, she added: 'We're both very family-oriented people. 'We always talk about that, and one of the other big things (she's taught me) is to always take care of yourself first. Because without that, how can you do everything for everyone else?' The original Freaky Friday film sees Lohan's character, Anna Coleman, swap bodies with her mother Tess, played by Curtis. Advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by ELLE Magazine (@elleusa) In a teaser for the new film, slated for release in August, their characters appear to swap bodies with Anna's daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter. Lohan now has her own child, a son called Luai whom she welcomed with her husband, Bader Shammas, in 2023. The actress hinted she might want another child, telling the magazine that Luai 'needs a friend'. 'I don't know if it's selfish — but I'm like, 'I need more than one kid to take care of me when I'm older',' she said. Advertisement Speaking about potential future projects, she added: 'I would love to find a dark comedy like Mean Girls. 'That kind of meaty, good, funny movie — a smart comedy. 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.' Lohan shot to fame thanks to 1998 movie The Parent Trap, which came out when she was just 12 years old. She has also starred in films including Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and I Know Who Killed Me (2007). Advertisement

Lindsay Lohan revealed her hopes for another child and the parenting advice Jamie Lee Curtis shared with her in a wide-ranging interview for Elle's 2025 Summer Issue. In an interview conducted by SNL star Chloe Fineman, Lohan, 38, said she wanted to give her toddler son Luai Shammas a sibling to play with. 'I feel like we live in a different world now, where women make it such a point, especially in motherhood, to make time for ourselves. We make it important. But also, once you have one kid, you're like, 'Oh, my kid needs a kid to play with.'' Lindsay, who shares Luai with husband Bader Shammas, explained. 'Is that where you are right now?' Chloe, 36, asked Lindsay. 'I'm like, 'He needs a friend,"' Lindsay added. Lindsay also wants multiple children to care for her once she gets older. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I don't know if it's selfish—but I'm like, "I need more than one kid to take care of me when I'm older,"' the Herbie Fully Loaded star said. Lindsay received some A-list advice from her Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis during her pregnancy. Curtis, who is reuniting with Lohan for this year's sequel Freakier Friday, encouraged Lohan to make self-care a priority during motherhood. 'We're both very family-oriented people. We always talk about that, and one of the other big things [she's taught me] is to always take care of yourself first. Because without that, how can you do everything for everyone else?' The Irish Wish actress and her husband met at a dinner with mutual friends in Dubai back in 2019 and said 'I do' two years later in 2021. The couple confirmed the arrival of their son Luai in July 2023 though did not provide an exact birth date. While filming Freakier Friday last year, Curtis told People the red-haired vixen went full 'mom mode' while on set. The couple share two-year-old son Luai together The actress dished on her hopes for a second child during an interview for Elle's 2025 Summer Issue The 66-year-old declared the mother-of-one was 'always' in 'mom mode,' admitting to the publication in 2024, 'she just loves it. It's actually very hard to pull her away from mom mode.' Although the fiery haired actress never brought her son to set during filming, Jaime shared that Bader would 'pick her up from work almost every day.' 'Bader and Luai came and [would wait] for her in her trailer, and then they all go home together,' she gushed. While at Disney's D23 fan event to promote the film in August 2024, the pair were asked who they would like to switch bodies with, like in their hit film, and Lohan said her baby. 'Maybe my baby,' Lohan told People. 'Just to see — because he is, so pure and just so happy, just to see life through his eyes, every day. He's just this beautiful bundle of joy. I can't think of anything else.' Freakier Friday will land in theaters on August 8. Filming for the sequel began in June of 2024 with production wrapping in late August of that year. Curtis and Lohan portrayed a mother-teenage daughter duo who magically switch bodies in the 2003 adaptation of Mary Rodgers' 1972 Freaky Friday novel.
