They're all in it together! Lindsay Lohan 'makes film crew strip to their b-o-x-e-r-s before shooting t-o-p-l-e-s-s scene'
She's posed n-de for Playboy in the past but when it came to shooting a revealing love scene for her new film, Lindsay Lohan made an unusual request before she could bear to b@re all in front of the film crew, it has been claimed.
A source close to the shoot told TMZ that the idea of doing a topless scene made Lindsay feel so uncomfortable that she asked the 10-man crew to join her in the near-buff by stripping to their b-o-x-e-r-s.
The crew took a while to come round to the idea, but eventually peeled off their clothes to make their leading lady feel at ease as they filmed the scene.
Lindsay's publicist Steve Honig said: 'The cast and crew have been working with Lindsay to make the film as compelling as possible.'
The film, written by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, takes a look at the seedier side of LA life.
The Canyons' director Paul Schrader told how the troubled actress was not his first choice for the role, but he had been impressed with her after a meeting at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.
In a candid Facebook post, Schrader openly admitted his fears in signing up the actress, based on her 'track history' - and told her he would only consider her if she 'agreed to the 'micro budget salary, did a screen test and completed Liz and Dick on schedule'.
The director also described how his first choice for the role of Tara was model Monica Gambee, not Lohan.
However Gambee 'balked at doing the [screen] test' after hearing porn star James Deen was being considered as the male lead at the time in his first mainstream acting role.
Schrader wrote: 'It then became one thing one thing after another, and finally, she [Gambee] never came in for the screen test. I had planned that weekend to cast her both her and Sean Brosnan as the leads, but that plan unravelled.'
Even though Lohan 'came late to the casting of Tara' - her screen test was enough to make the role hers.
Schrader added: 'Everything that has made her such an interesting screen presence came alive in that test. I decided to use her.'
