Capable of more serious roles

Actress Lindsay Lohan She spoke candidly about her frustration at being often lumped into the same mold throughout her career, emphasizing that she is capable of much more, including working with renowned drama directors such as Martin Scorsese.

The actress, who is currently promoting her new film “Freakier Friday,” rose to fame in the early 2000s in family and teen comedies such as “The Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls.” However, she also has more serious roles under her belt, such as those in the political drama “Bobby” (2006) and Robert Altman’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” where she starred opposite Meryl Streep.

In an interview with The Times, Lohan openly admitted that she felt her career didn't give her enough room for diversity:

"I was thrilled to do 'A Prairie Home Companion,' and yet I still have to fight for similar roles, which is frustrating. You know me as someone who does comedy, but you also know that I can do things differently. Just give me a chance. I want to break that cycle and open the door to something new, so that people have no choice but to see me differently. And if Scorsese calls me, of course I won't say no," Lohan said. When asked what kind of films she would like to do, the actress replied:

"I miss films that tell real stories, like 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' There aren't many big films of that type these days that I want to see. There's this void, and I want to fill it."

Lohan has returned to the spotlight in recent years, especially after last year's Christmas film 'Our Little Secret', which she made for Netflix, became one of the five most watched on the platform.
