Lindsay Lohan began her career as a child actor on the television opera, Another World, and later got her breakthrough role in The Parent Trap in 1998. After a few television films, Lohan moved on to bigger productions like Freaky Friday, where she took on more mature roles. However, she rose to stardom with her iconic performance in the 2004 cult classic, Mean Girls, and established herself as a teen icon.
Lohan also entered the world of music, releasing her debut album, Speak. However, everything came crashing down in her life, as the Falling for Christmas actress ran into several legal troubles stemming from her substance abuse. Despite these challenges, Lohan has managed to turn her life around.
Lindsay Lohan Hated The Freckles On Her Face
Lindsay Lohan appeared in an interview with Allure and discussed her hair and makeup experiences throughout her career. She discussed her appearances in various movie roles and events she had attended. As Lohan listed out the various looks she had tried on, she also recalled her early interest in makeup, learning about it at a very young age due to her freckles.
Lohan revealed that her schoolmates used to tease her about her freckles. She desperately sought ways to hide the freckles and hence learned how to use foundation. Her family tried reassuring Lohan that she was beautiful with the freckles, however, peer pressure got the better of her. The Canyons actress shared with Allure:
“When I was younger and when I was in school, people would make fun of my freckles. So I always wanted to find out how I could use foundation and how I could cover them up, and what makeup was good for that. And my mom and my family would always say like, ‘Your freckles are beautiful, they’re angel kisses,” but you don’t believe that when you’re a kid. You’re like, no.”
Peer pressure took a toll on the Just My Luck actress, eventually leading her down a self-destructive path of drug and alcohol use. In 2007, she was arrested twice on DUI charges, with the second arrest also involving possession of cocaine. In 2010, Lohan was incarcerated after violating the terms of her probation. It took some time for the Machete actress to recover from her issues.
Lindsay Lohan Had A Mind-Opening Revelation About Her Looks
Lindsay Lohan confessed that she was too hard on herself in her younger years, often becoming very self-conscious about her looks. She even shared her concerns about the costumes on the set of Freaky Friday which drove her crazy with self-doubt. However, as time passed, the Liz & Dick actress had a revelation about her looks, realizing that the freckles were an enduring part of her. Lohan shared with Allure:
“And then over time you learn to love and embrace them, and yeah, it’s just a process of life. It’s just growth. And at around this time, I was like, just, they’re not gonna go anywhere. So I just learn to love them.”
Lohan’s freckles have become an unmistakable aspect of her identity, and she has come to accept and appreciate them fully. With all the life realizations, Lohan continues her journey to becoming a better person each day. In 2023, she and her husband, Bader Shammas, welcomed a healthy and beautiful son, Luai.
