Lindsay Lohan Says She Still Has "PTSD to the Extreme" From Her Early Fame
"They were terrifying moments I had in my life."The Gist Lindsay Lohan has opened up about the harrowing realities of being a teen star in the early aughts. "They were terrifying moments I had in my life—I have PTSD to the extreme from those things," she recalled. Lohan went on to explain how her early experiences of fame have led her to carve out a more private life for her Lohan was one of the biggest stars of her generation. After hit after hit at the turn of the millennium—The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls—she was the one to watch. But the intrusive nature of celebrity culture of the early 2000s took its toll on the young star. In a new interview, Lohan is opening up about just how harrowing the experience really was. 'You want to achieve acclaim, though maybe not all the aspects that come with it," she told The Times in an interview published on August 2, speaking about the nature of fame. "You're not asking to be followed and have people be intrusive toward you.' Unfortunately, for young stars particularly at that time, that's often what fame entailed—and it was certainly the experience Lohan had. 'I don't ever want my family to experience being chased by the paparazzi the way I was. They were terrifying moments I had in my life—I have PTSD to the extreme from those things," she went on. "The most invasive situations. Really scary. And I pray stuff like that never comes back. It's not safe. It's not fair.' Being hounded by the paparazzi left Lohan feeling a little disillusioned about the entertainment industry. She found herself craving some time to herself. 'I wanted to take a minute,' she said, explaining that she stepped back from her career to "figure out how to have a more private life, a real life." Although celebrity culture may have improved slightly since the early aughts, fame still presents its dangers. "Now, somebody will have a phone up all the time,' she said. 'That's scary. That feels very uncomfortable. I'd rather someone just ask if they can take a photo or else you get cautious of every move you make.' That "uncomfortable" feeling is one of the reasons why Lohan and her family prefer to live in Dubai where they can feel some sense of privacy. She and husband Bader Shammas also chose to keep their son Luai's face private on social media. 'It's something my husband and I discuss all the time," she said. "Do we want to show our son? We will know when the time might be right, but it's also a protection." Last year, Lohan told Bustle that she felt that the negative press attention she received in her early years "overshadowed" her actual work. '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,' she said. '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 some ways, her current Freakier Friday press tour has been a sartorial expression of how she is reclaiming her identity in this new phase of her career. Many of her looks have celebrated that work that she once felt was "overshadowed." She embraced Y2K prom dress style. She recreated an iconic look from the original Freaky Friday. She even paid homage to both twins from The Parent Trap. Read the original article on InStyle Solve the daily Crossword

Parent Trap star open to a reboot — under one condition
The Parent Trap star Lisa Ann Walter is fully on board for a reboot of the hit 1998 film — as long as the writer stays the same. 'One hundred percent if Nancy Meyers wrote it,' Walter said at a recent Abbott Elementary event. Meyers co-wrote The Parent Trap, which also marked her feature film directorial debut. She, of course, went on to write some of the biggest rom-coms in history, including Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday, and It's Complicated. The Parent Trap not only launched her career as a director but also established her signature cozy, aspirational aesthetic Speaking further to her idea of a reboot, Walter, who played housekeeper Chessy in the hit 1998 film, said she would want fellow stars Lindsay Lohan and Dennis Quaid involved, too. 'Dennis [Quaid] has said that he doesn't think it's doable without Natasha, and I understand that,' Walter said of British actor Richardson, who died in 2009 at age 45 after a ski accident. 'The movie — it's a kids' story, but it's a love story. So to have a love story that involves that grief, that sadness — if it was written beautifully, maybe it's doable.' The film, which was a remake of the 1961 original, catapulted Lohan to fame as she portrayed twins Hallie and Annie James, who were separated by their parents shortly after birth. The twins, who were living across the pond from one another, connect on a whim at a summer camp their respective parents sent them to. Quaid starred as the twins' father, Nick Parker, while Richardson played their mother, Elizabeth James. Elaine Hendrix played Quaid's new love interest, Meredith Blake, and remains close with Walter, who told People the two 'talk literally every day.' Walter also keeps in touch with her other castmates, including Lohan. 'Lindsay will DM me on Instagram,' Walter shared. 'I text her father here and there — like, 'Lindsay wanted me to tell you so and so,'' she continued. During the pandemic, Walter even found herself delivering homemade meals to Quaid's house, not unlike Chessy would do for Nick Parker in the film. 'I was cooking for everybody I knew,' she told People. 'I made big pans of food and had them delivered to his house because he had his kids over there.' Walter has since gone on to star in the films Bruce Almighty and Shall We Dance? and has been a cast member on the acclaimed series Abbott Elementary since 2021. Solve the daily Crossword
