'Come out Mommy!': Lindsay Lohan's son thought she was trapped in the TV
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 him...to 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."

Dave Franco talks 'weird' Zac Efron dating rumour
Dave Franco says the weirdest rumour he ever heard about himself is that he was dating Zac Efron. The 40-year-old actor – who has been married to Alison Brie, 42, since 2017 – revealed an ex-girlfriend called to question him about his relationship with his Neighbors co-star after a photoshopped image of them appeared online. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Dave said: 'This girl that I was kinda seeing at one point reaching out and being like 'hey, what's this all about?' and it was this photoshop of me and Zac Efron at like a basketball game where we're getting like really cosy together. Then there were all these headlines that maybe we were dating. And I think that had some legs too.' Dave also confirmed that he was responsible for Zac, 37, dislocating his thumb while filming a scene in Neighbors where Zac had to grab Dave's crotch. He said: 'It definitely wasn't because my penis was hard. Yeah. I'm trying to remember if I was wearing a cup and he came in just really strong. I think it was a dislocated thumb to be fair, but it, it happened. There's a scene where I think we're both grabbing each other's crotches at the same time. And I just think he came in with enough force from the wrong angle. 'The character actually, now that I think about it, not to walk through the whole synopsis of Neighbors in this interview, but he grabs my crotch and we're both holding on like who's gonna let go first and then my character actually to get him to let go, I have a trick where I go Zen and I know how to get hard on cue. So, I do get hard in this hand. That's what makes him let go.' Zac previously discussed the incident during a 2014 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, joking that he broke his hand because Dave had 'balls of steel'.

Nikki Reed wears the same clothes every day
Nikki Reed wears the same clothes every day. The 37-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Rosalie Hale in the Twilight film franchise – lives on a farm north of Los Angeles with her husband Ian Somerhalder, two children and 17 animals, including chickens, cows, dogs, cats, and goats. And, she prefers to focus on sustainability these days rather than following the latest fashion trends. She told The Art of Being Well With Dr. Will Cole podcast: 'I wear the same clothes every day. I've got vintage pants on and they've got a bunch of holes. And if I were to turn around and show you my butt pockets, you would see that my mom helps me patch the back of them because I wear the same pants. 'I'm wearing my same shoes right now that I've worn for 15 years. I just got them resoled. I resole them every three years, because I wear the same shoes every day.' Although Nikki is happy to wear old clothes, she insisted she still wants to focus on quality. She explained: 'We live in a culture of more and more and more. And I don't want more. I want less, but I want good. 'I try to keep things for an entire lifetime. Before I purchase anything at all, I think about where it's made, how it's made, and how long I'm going to wear it.' Nikki – who calls sustainability her 'true passion' – doesn't miss her former life in Hollywood. She said: 'I don't even often hear the word 'Hollywood' or 'actress' anymore at all in my orbit. It's just been so, so long. I really am a nature gal, an animal gal. I would much rather be barefoot walking through soil than in high heels anywhere.' Nikki also believes life on the farm away from Hollywood was the best choice for her family. She previously told E! News: 'I can't personally envision a life without that connection to plants and soil. In this day and age, we're getting closer and closer to falling into full tech worlds. No matter how hard we try to shelter our kids from that, we're growing up in the age of tech, and I think the only way to really combat that is through nature. 'Getting back into the rhythm of the earth and getting our kids outdoors in a world where we're all living indoors, in front of screens and blue light everywhere, we need some red light. We need some sun, we need some fresh air.'
