Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan speaks candidly about her temporary hiatus from the industry
In a recent interview with The Times U.K., Lindsay Lohan opened up about her return to the big screen and her upcoming role in the long-awaited sequel to her 2003 comedy hit, Freaky Friday. The film, titled Freakier Friday, is set to hit theaters on August 8, 2025.
The 39-year-old actress, who began her career with the 1998 film The Parent Trap by Walt Disney Pictures, revealed that she took a break from acting between 2013 and 2022 primarily because she felt the excitement for working in movies was fading and she wanted to experience a more private, “real life” outside the spotlight. She expressed a need to pause and rediscover her passion for acting rather than continuing without enthusiasm, and to live life on her own terms away from public scrutiny.
During her hiatus, Lohan moved to Dubai, seeking a fresh environment. Her return to the industry has been marked by starring roles in Netflix movies such as Falling for Christmas and Irish Wish. The return signals regaining the "itch" to act after her hiatus.
Lohan's career trajectory has been complicated, with earlier struggles with being typecast and personal challenges, including legal and rehabilitation issues around 2007–2008. However, her anticipated reprise of the iconic role in Freakier Friday promises to bring her back into the limelight.
Lohan went on to say she wanted to figure out how to have a more private life, and she wanted to wait until she felt the "itch" again before making a return to acting. She expressed a desire to feel a sense of "real life" again before diving back into her acting career.
Lohan is best known for her role in the movie Mean Girls and her reprise of the role of twins Hallie Parker and Annie James in The Parent Trap. With the release of Freakier Friday, fans are eager to see Lohan back in her element.
