'I have to break that cycle': Lindsay Lohan on being pigeonholed by past roles
Lohan began her career at age 10 on the soap opera 'Another World', with her breakthrough in the 1998 Walt Disney Pictures film 'The Parent Trap'.
She went on to appear in many more projects, including 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls', and she is next set to reprise her role in the former film with the 2025 follow-up Freakier Friday.
Lohan shared that she "wanted to take a minute" for herself, which kept her away from leading roles from 2013 until 2022.
"I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life," she said, adding, "I wanted to wait to get that itch again."
A new project Lohan is excited about is her upcoming Hulu Drama, Count My Lies, in which she will star and produce. While talking about her career, when asked if she felt "pigeonholed," she replied, "Yeah, I do," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"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. So let me! Give me the chance," Lohan said. "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."
At the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday, Lohan shared that moving forward in her career, she would " like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles," further noting that she felt a bit of pressure to stick to the rom-com genre.
"I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is, and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me," she added, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)

Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz Beckham renew vows amid family rift
Washington DC [US], August 4 (ANI): Actress Nicola Peltz Beckham and Brooklyn Beckham renewed their vows amid a family rift. Three years after the couple tied the knot at Nicola's family's multi-million dollar property in Palm Beach, Fla., the duo reaffirmed their commitment to each other by renewing their vows, reported E! News. "It was a beautiful evening to celebrate their love," a source close to the couple informed the outlet, "an experience they'll carry with them always." The ceremony took place amid Brooklyn's ongoing feud with his family, including parents Victoria Beckham and David Beckham, that may have stemmed from a dramatic moment that occurred during their 2022 wedding, according to E! News. "Brooklyn and Nicola were under the impression they were being gifted their first dance by Marc Anthony," a source shared in May. "Marc Anthony announced, 'Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the Beckham.' Brooklyn wasn't quite sure what to do and was put in an awkward situation." The comment allegedly prompted the bride to flee the room in tears; however, "she eventually came back and was able to collect herself to celebrate the rest of her wedding." It was two months ago that a source close to the couple shut down rumours that the Brooklyn cut off his family entirely ahead of David's knighthood ceremony, an honour that was announced as part of King Charles III's birthday festivities in June. "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth," the insider said at the time, "and it only serves to distract from this honour being bestowed on Brooklyn's father," reported E! News. More recently, putting all the family drama aside, Brooklyn has made it clear that marrying Nicola was the "best decision" he could've made for himself. "It's been five years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx," he gushed in a June 23 Instagram photo, alongside a mirror selfie with Nicola. "Best decision ever x I love you so much," reported E! News. (ANI)
