Lindsay Lohan now: what ever happened to the Mean Girls star?
She's been out of the limelight for a long time
By the end of her career, directors had stopped casting her as she often wouldn't show up to set. ... The series, aptly titled Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club, lasted just one series, and the business didn't fare much better as in 2020 she moved to Dubai, where she now lives full time.
Lindsay Lohan was one of a core group of young women across film, TV, music and the social scene who were just PEAK 00s.
Along with the likes of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes and Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay made the transition from squeaky clean teen actress to troubled paparazzi fodder, before eventually retiring from the limelight all together.
Since quitting Hollywood, Lindsay leads a much simpler life. Here’s what she’s up to now.
What is Lindsay Lohan doing now?
It’s fair to say that Lindsay didn’t have the best reputation in Hollywood. By the end of her career, directors had stopped casting her as she often wouldn’t show up to set. But since taking a break from acting, Lindsay’s had plenty of success as a business owner and reality star. In 2019, MTV followed her running her nightclub, Lohan’s Beach House, in Mykonos. The series, aptly titled Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club, lasted just one series, and the business didn’t fare much better as in 2020 she moved to Dubai, where she now lives full time.
However, last year she said she was ready to return to acting, and even released new music.
Lindsay Lohan films
While it’s easy to get caught up in her notoriety as one of the 00s most prolific partyers, Lindsay has actually been in the public eye since she was just a whipper-snapper, starring on Sesame Street at just nine years old and in a TV series called Another World from 1996-1997.
Lindsay Lohan The Parent Trap
But Lindsay’s big break came playing twins Hallie Parker and Annie James in Disney’s 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. Her British accent may have left something to be desired, but the film was a box office success and saw her career as an actress well and truly launched.
Lindsay Lohan Freaky Friday
Lindsay’s next smash would also be a Disney film – playing Anna Colman in another remake, this time the classic 1976 Freaky Friday. The plot sees a stroppy teenager trade places with her mum on Friday 13th.
Lindsay Lohan Mean Girls
In 2004 came the highest point of Lindsay’s career so far – Mean Girls is one of the most famous teen dramas ever and Lindsay’s turn as sweet-natured Cady Heron, who attends school for the first time as a teenager after being home schooled in Africa for her childhood, earned her superstar status overnight.
Lindsay Lohan music
Any teen star worth their salt in the 00s also turned their hand to making a pop-banger or two (right, Hillary Duff?). The same year that Mean Girls launched her to stratospheric success, she also released her debut album, Speak. The album peaked at number four in the US Billboard 200.
Lindsay’s been back in the studio recently and in April 2021 released dance single Back to Me.
Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears
If you were around in the noughties, chances are you’ll remember the ICONIQUE photo of Lindsay, pop star Britney Spears and socialite Paris Hilton in the back of a car during a wild night of partying.
The year was 2006, and Lindsay was about to embark on a six year run of DUI’s and drugs arrests, and Britney was herself months away from her infamous breakdown.
But at the time, it was just a group of gals having a fun time, right? Paris has since opened up about the infamous car ride, saying on her podcast, "That was a night that Britney and I went out, and we were at the Beverly Hills Hotel, at our friend's party, and we decided to leave to go home.
"We were walking to the car and all a sudden got swarmed by tons of paparazzi. Just as we were walking to the car, that's when Lindsay came up. It was kind of awkward because we were having some drama."
