Lindsay Lohan opens up about home in Dubai
Lindsay Lohan has lifted the lid on why she decided to quit the US and relocated to Dubai. In an interview with Elle, the 'Parent Trap' star revealed she has no plans to make a full-time return to Los Angeles anytime soon. The 38-year-old actress explained relocating to Dubai would help to protect her privacy, Realtor reports. 'It's hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?'' she said. MORE:'Misfit': Neighbours unleash on Meghan 'Unreal': Who got what in Hugh, Furness split Late Shining star's untouched pad revealed Although Lohan conceded that New York — where she was born and raised — affords her much more privacy than she finds in L.A., Dubai gives her the best of both worlds. 'In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us. Everyone has their own thing going on,' she said. 'There's a different kind of energy in New York. I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A. 'But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. 'But I'm thinking as I'm saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. 'I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there; I feel safe.' Although Lohan lives primarily in Dubai with her husband, Bader Shammas, and their son, Luai, she admits that they have spent less than half of the past year in their home country because of work commitments in the US. The 'Mean Girls' star noted that she 'wants' to find more time to be there. However, the actress concedes that Dubai may not end up as their permanent home in the future. Lohan explained that she and Shammas, 38, need to make a decision about where they want their son, who will be 2 in July, to attend school — a choice that may take them away from the country they currently call home. The 'Freaky Friday' star has fiercely protected the privacy of her Dubai residence, sharing images of the property in a bid to safeguard its location. While she was living in Los Angeles, the actress — who was raised on Long Island — spent several years residing in hotel rooms, including the iconic Chateau Marmont, where she is understood to have stayed for multiple months while filming the movie 'Liz & Dick.' She also rented a sprawling Beverly Hills property for $US8,000 a month, before she relocated to Dubai full-time. However, before Lohan hit the big time, she lived on Long Island with her mother, Dina Lohan, and her siblings Ali, Michael Jr., and Dakota. In 2018, the property in which the actress was raised was auctioned off after it was foreclosed upon, when her mum, Dina, defaulted on a $US1.3 million loan she had taken out on the property, which was purchased in 2004 for $US650,000. JPMorgan Chase Bank sued Dina for defaulting on the loan in 2014, but she was able to hold off foreclosure and keep the home until the bank went back to court in February 2016 to restart foreclosure proceedings. In 2013, while LiLo was filming her docuseries for OWN network, Oprah herself drove to the Merrick home to confront the starlet about not showing up to work. 'You need to cut the bulls**t,' Winfrey told Lindsay. 'Keep your commitments.' The home was also featured in the opening scenes of Dina's own reality-show star turn in 'Living Lohan.'

Lindsay Lohan shares struggles with LA after moving to Dubai to escape Hollywood stress
After nearly 30 years in the spotlight, Lindsay Lohan took a step back from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and uprooted her life from Los Angeles to Dubai in 2014. Since then, the "Mean Girls" actress, 38, has not only become a wife and a mother, she has found peace within herself. Lohan, who appears on the cover of Elle's 2025 Summer Issue, opened up about her life overseas and what she's learned about herself, both personally and professionally, since making the move. "It's hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?' In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us," said Lohan, who shares 1-year-old son Luai with husband Bader Shammas. "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." "But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. But I'm thinking as I'm saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there. I feel safe." Lohan, who began working at age 3 and gained stardom with her first movie role in the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," was thrown into the thick of Hollywood. Often facing public scrutiny, the "Freaky Friday" star had enough and moved to Dubai in 2014. "I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that's kind of annoying. I wish that part didn't happen," Lindsay told Bustle in 2024. "I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that's why I wanted to disappear. I was like, 'Unless there's no story here, they're not going to focus on just my work.'" In 2022, Lohan spoke about how she was taking control of her own narrative through social media. "In Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there. I feel safe." "When I first started out in the business, none of us had a say in how to control our own narrative," she told Cosmopolitan. "There were paparazzi pictures, and then people ran with it. So I think it's really good that, in this day and age, people can say who they are and who they want to be. And I admire and appreciate that. I'm a little jealous because I didn't have that. But I think it moves really fast, and I just try to keep up as best I can. And I check everything before I post it. I'll send it to people, because you have to." "You have to take everything people say with a grain of salt and just be you and slow down because everyone's so quick right now," she said. "People just don't stop. You've got to chill." After moving to Dubai, Lohan quickly learned the power of saying "no" when it comes to picking and choosing professional projects. "They teach you to say 'yes' to everything, and that's not really what life's all about," she told Bustle of her earlier years in the industry. "I was like, 'What if I never fall in love? What if this never happens?' And it took me just taking time for me for all those doors to open and the 'yeses' to come, the things I wanted to say 'yes' to." Since her return to the big screen, Lohan, who stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in "Freakier Friday," said she's found that prioritizing herself makes a huge difference in her overall well-being. "[Jamie and I] are 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," she told Elle. "Because without that, how can you do everything for everyone else?" "I love having a routine, and I like schedules," she continued. "So, my morning routine: waking up, writing in my journal, sipping my green tea, breakfast with my son, and then Pilates, making sure I go." Despite her hectic schedule, Lohan said the "most important thing" in her life is family. "I mean, it's the most important thing: my husband, my son and me. It's all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, I've got to live by that." Lohan is no stranger to criticism. With fame comes speculative curiosity, especially when it comes to her appearance. Elsewhere in the Elle interview, Lohan shut down rumors that she had a facelift. The star shared the secrets behind the skincare routine that she says has dramatically altered her look. "Everyone does Botox," Lohan said. "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 skincare 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," the 38-year-old said. "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." "I did Morpheus8 (a noninvasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment) once, and then I realized my skin is so thin that I can't be doing that," Lohan said. "My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, 'I want to know everything I'm allergic to.' So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me."

Lindsay Lohan addresses plastic surgery rumors
Lindsay Lohan addresses plastic surgery rumors Show Caption Hide Caption Lisa Ann Walter wants to make another 'Parent Trap' movie with Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Lohan is wanted for 'Parent Trap' sequel by Lisa Ann Walter. Bang Showbiz Lindsay Lohan knows she looks different, but she's had enough of your theories about why. The child star-turned-teen tabloid sensation-turned-Netflix darling discussed all things "Freakier Friday" and shot down dogged speculation of a facelift in an Elle magazine cover story. Lohan, who co-stars with Jamie Lee Curtis in a much-anticipated sequel to 2003's "Freaky Friday," told Elle that the secret to supple skin in your thirties is not plastic surgery: It's motherhood. "My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything," she said, citing green juice, ice cold water and pickled beets, among other things, as the key to her radiant look. Bette Midler wishes she had sued Lindsay Lohan for leaving her short-lived sitcom After Lohan made a grand return to the screen in 2022, rumors instantly swirled of a facelift or other form-altering procedures aimed at preserving youth. No stranger to tabloid press, the "Parent Trap" starlet said she works to turn off the outside noise and make healthy choices for herself. "You just have to do it and ignore everyone else," Lohan told "Saturday Night Live" 's star Chloe Fineman, who was conducting the interview. Revive that handshake: 'The Parent Trap' is 25! See Lindsay Lohan and cast then and now "You know what the problem is with you being beautiful women – the second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It's so mean," interjected Lohan's publicist, who sat in on the interview. "I'm like, when? With what time? Where?" the starlet quipped, alluding to a packed schedule. "I tried to figure that out, Linds, in the last three years, when you had time to do anything, because I know your schedule," Lohan's publicist said in response. "So the haters can hate and be jealous. It just sucks that that's where they go with women in today's world. Women can't just look good to look good and change their lifestyle to be more healthy." Some on social media were less than convinced then, continuing the steady drumbeat of claims that her face just looks a little too different. "Lindsay Lohan says her transformation is from green juice and ice water. If that's true, great — but facelift surgery at 38 isn't unheard of," one user wrote on Threads, while another took it further, calling her "A FILTHY, STINKING FIBBER" on X. True or not, plastic surgery may be entering its "undetectable" era, USA TODAY previously reported, making it more difficult to know whether someone's claim to natural beauty is fraudulent or faithful. Christina Aguilera, 'undetectable' plastic surgery and how celebrities are 'Benjamin Buttoning' "It's not just undetectable; it's understated," Dr. Anthony Rossi, a dermatologist and surgeon who hosts the podcast "Give Good Face: Clean Clinical Science," previously told USA TODAY. "It's very minimalistic, but with improvements, and so it's not this over-the-top, in-your-face, big cheeks, frozen face. It's really more subtle. It's really nice and refined." Whether it gives a "refined" sheen to a once somewhat stigmatized practice or now, the "undetectable" era makes it ever more important not to compare yourself to celebrities, mental health experts told USA TODAY. "It may establish an unattainable ideal, and I think that the more we get comfortable with who we are, the less that becomes an issue," psychotherapist Stephanie Sarkis says. "We tend to not compare ourselves with others when we are feeling OK about ourselves." Contributing: Charles Trepany
