Hollywood actor Lindsay Lohan is sharing her frustrations about how growing up in the spotlight “pigeonholed” her early in her acting career.
The actor, who started her career at the age of 10 with the soap opera "Another World" in 1996, says she was typecast and admits having to fight for the same even now. Lohan’s breakthrough came in 1998 with Disney film "The Parent Trap".
"Yeah, I do (think I was pigeonholed), the actor said in an interview.
The 39-year-old said working on the 2006 musical comedy "A Prairie Home Companion", changed things for her.
"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," Lohan said.
"So let me! Give me the chance. 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," she added.
Known for stellar performances in projects like "Freaky Friday", "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen", "The Holiday", and "Mean Girls", Lohan was at the top of her career when took a break from the limelight in 2013.
She returned to acting in 2022 with Netflix's romantic comedy "Falling for Christmas".

"I wanted to take a minute. I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life. I wanted to wait to get that itch again," she said, recalling it.
Meanwhile, Lohan is all set for the release of her upcoming film "Freakier Friday", a sequel to her 2003 body-swap comedy "Freaky Friday". The film also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, who is reprising her role from the first chapter.
Directed by Mark Waters, "Freaky Friday" followed the story of a mother-daughter duo (Curtis and Lohan), whose souls get swapped after a visit to the mysterious Chinese restaurant. The morning after, they find themselves in each other's bodies, and chaos ensues.
Also featuring Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, and Mark Harmon, the sequel will pick up the story years later from where it ended.
"Freaky Friday" was based on the 1972 novel from Mary Rodgers.
