Axelle / Getty Images As you might know, Lindsay skyrocketed to fame when she was just 12 years old in Disney's The Parent Trap. She became a teen icon thanks to her natural acting ability, likable personality, and signature orange hair, appearing in movies like Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and the now-cult-classic Mean Girls. But as her fame grew, so did public scrutiny. Jean-paul Aussenard / Getty Images Paparazzi followed Lindsay everywhere and tabloids documented her every move, from clubbing and dating to missteps like legal woes - and eventually, it became too much. In 2014, Lindsay decided to make the move to Dubai, where she now resides with her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai. Monica Schipper / Getty Images In a recent appearance on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, Lindsay opened up about the "very normal life" she now has after leaving the states for the UAE. Of Dubai, she said, "It's far away from Hollywood. And I live a very normal life. There's no worry of like, I can't go eat at this place because someone's gonna take a picture of my son. It's just...I feel very safe." Live with Kelly and Mark / Via youtube.com Confirming the paparazzi is "not legal" there, Lindsay explained, "You can't even take a picture of someone else if you're at a restaurant. You have to ask the person." Live With Kelly and Mark / Via youtube.com "Which is a big difference," she added, laughing. "The privacy is unique." @livekellyandmark #LindsayLohan #FreakierFriday ♬ original sound - Kelly and Mark @livekellyandmark / Via tiktok.com Viewers couldn't help but notice how radiant and refreshed Lindsay looked in the interview and how fulfilled she appeared while discussing her life in Dubai. Commenting under the video, one person wrote, "She disappeared and came back STUNNING!! So happy for her. She looks healthy." Another comment, with over 200,000 likes, said, "She healed because she left America. It makes sense now." Kevin Winter / Getty Images "Good for her!" a third viewer exclaimed. "She is living her best life! I love that. She said it's far away from Hollywood lol." While another said, "She is literally glowing and I love this for her." Cindy Ord / Getty Images A different person said, "Lindsay's glow up must be studied," as another viewer called it "the best glow up story" they've ever seen. Xny / Getty Images Some also took a moment to discuss the cruel treatment Lindsay faced, particularly from invasive paparazzi. One person even declared they should be outlawed everywhere. "Taking pictures of strangers in public should be illegal anywhere. It's very odd!" read the comment, receiving over 65,000 likes. Another agreed, "Paparazzi should be criminalized. Leave famous people alone." And of course, because the internet is the internet, there was also some side-eye for Mark Consuelos for awkwardly steering the conversation away from her life in Dubai to ask Lindsay, a New York native, a question about pizza. "Dude heard she got away from 'Hollweird' and asked if she found pizza," one user wrote as another joked, "'I'm safe now' - 'Do you have good pizza?' What?????" Watch the moment above, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
