Lindsay Lohan Opens Up About a Difficult Childhood in Vogue Arabia
Interview
Lindsay Lohan has reflected on the challenging years of growing up under intense public scrutiny. In a recent interview with Vogue Arabia, the 39-year-old actress admitted that the fame she experienced following the release of Mean Girls in 2004, when she was just 17, was so overwhelming that she now regrets not having had stronger support from those around her.
«I should have listened to my mom and dad and gone back to New York. But I was young and wanted to live in Los Angeles. And I didn’t know what I was doing,» Lindsay confessed. «So yes, although there was a lot of fun, it was hard for me at such a young age. It was a double-edged sword. Now I look back and think: ‘Why didn’t anyone just take me out of there and protect me?’ You can’t take care of yourself when you’re a teenager.»
After years in Hollywood and constant media attention, Lohan relocated to Dubai in 2014, seeking a quieter life away from show business and paparazzi.
Following her move to the United Arab Emirates, Lindsay began dating Kuwaiti financier Bader Shammas in 2020. The couple got engaged in 2021, married in 2022, and in July 2023 welcomed their son, Luai.
In recent years, Lohan has gradually returned to acting, including her role in the upcoming 2025 film Freaky Friday.
