Lindsay Lohan Opens Up About Career Pigeonholing and Future Projects
Lindsay Lohan is candidly discussing her experiences with typecasting in the entertainment industry. Since her breakout role in the 1998 classic The Parent Trap at just 12 years old, Lohan’s career has soared, leading her to star in beloved films like Freaky Friday and Mean Girls. Now, she’s gearing up to reprise her iconic role in Freakier Friday, set to release in 2025.
In a recent profile with The Times U.K., Lohan reflected on her career and the need for a break. After stepping back from leading roles between 2013 and 2022, she expressed, “I wanted to take a minute for myself. I was losing that excitement about making films and wanted to explore a more private life.” She emphasized the importance of waiting until she felt that passion return.
Lohan is excited about her upcoming project, Count My Lies, a Hulu drama where she will both star and produce. However, when discussing her past roles, she acknowledged feeling pigeonholed. “Yes, I do feel that way,” she admitted. “I was thrilled to work on A Prairie Home Companion, yet I still have to fight for roles similar to that, which can be frustrating. People see me in one light, but I know I can do so much more. Just give me the chance!”
At the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday, she shared with The Hollywood Reporter her desire to tackle more serious and dramatic roles. While she loves romantic comedies—her comfort zone and where many fans want to see her—she’s eager to explore new genres. “I’d love to find something action-packed and show a different side of myself,” she said, signaling her readiness for new challenges in her acting career.
With her passion reignited and new projects on the horizon, Lindsay Lohan is determined to break free from typecasting and showcase her versatility as an actress. Keep an eye on this talented star as she embarks on exciting new ventures!
