Lindsay Lohan Shares Why She Went On Hiatus And Left Hollywood

The “Just My Luck” actress Lindsay Lohan who stole our hearts the minute she was first seen in the 1998 movie “Parents Trap,” to when she played Cady Heron in the 2004 movie “Mean Girls,” suddenly vanished from Hollywood.

Although she later went to London, she also left there and went to Dubai where she has been living for a while now.

Recently, the “Freaky Friday” actress told Bustie in a March 14 interview the real reason she left Hollywood despite being at the peak of her career. Lindsay told the outlet that back then, everything she worked for was “overshadowed” by the paparazzi that at some point she couldn’t help but get away from it all.

Back then, everything the young actress did was always a hot topic for the paparazzi, from who she hung out with to the places she stepped into.

“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,” said Lindsay while also adding, “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.'”

Lindsay Lohan, who knows better than to pick up a tabloid magazine to read, also shared how the social media of this era is so different from the social media of her younger days. She said, “Social media is so different now than when I was younger, that everyone has control of their own story.”

She went on to say, “I don’t really pay attention to that. I don’t really read stuff that comes out either. ‘Cause I know how it works, so there’s no point. And if you immerse yourself in that stuff, you’re just going to get lost, and it can just do so much to you.”

The actress said “I do” to spending forever with her husband Bader Shammas in 2022, and made the announcement on July 2, 2022, with an Instagram post that read, “You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time. I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything, every woman should feel like this everyday.”

A year after their marriage announcement, the couple welcomed a baby boy Luai in July 2023. When Lindsay returned to acting after her long hiatus, she took a role in the 2022 movie “Falling For Christmas,” and will also star in the upcoming movie “Irish Wish.” The mom of one told E! News that her goal is to “do things that my son can see.”

She also told the outlet, “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.”
