Actress Lindsay Lohan is breaking free from her typecast as a leading lady in romantic comedies, stating that she feels pigeonholed by roles she’s played in the past. The 1998 star of “The Parent Trap” and subsequent films like “Freaky Friday” and “Mean Girls” reveals that she took time off to rediscover herself after feeling burnt out on leading roles from 2013 to 2022.
Lohan expresses her desire for a change, wanting to take on more dramatic roles and show audiences a different side of her. With an upcoming Hulu drama series, “Count My Lies,” where she will star and produce, she’s eager to showcase her range. The actress aims to break the cycle of being typecast and prove herself as a versatile performer.
Lohan shared her frustrations with The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of her return film “Freakier Friday,” stating that she’d like to take on action-packed films and serious dramatic roles, moving beyond rom-coms where she feels pressure to stick. With her upcoming projects, Lohan is determined to prove herself as a talented actress capable of more than just her iconic roles.
