After starring in 1998's The Parent Trap when she was 12, Lohan's career skyrocketed. She went on to appear in many more beloved projects, including Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, and she is next up set to reprise her role in the former film with the 2025 followup Freakier Friday. In a Saturday profile with The Times U.K., Lohan admitted that she "wanted to take a minute" to herself, which saw her shy away from leading roles from 2013 until 2022.

"I wanted to wait to get that itch again." A new project Lohan is admittedly excited about is her upcoming Hulu Drama Count My Lies, where she will star and produce. Still, when reflecting on her career thus far and asked if she felt "pigeonholed," she replied, "Yeah, I do." "I was so thrilled to work on A Prairie Home Companion, and yet even today I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this - but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance," Lohan said. "I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no." At the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday, Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter that moving forward in her career, she would "like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles," further noting that she felt a bit of pressure to stick to the rom-com genre. "I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me," she added.
