I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film: Lindsay Lohan laments on being typecast

Los Angeles, Aug 3 (UNI) Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan has admitted she feels "pigeonholed" by the roles that first made her famous, revealing she is eager to prove her dramatic range as she enters a new phase of her career.
Speaking to The Times U.K., the "Freaky Friday" star, who became a global sensation at twelve with "The Parent Trap" (1998), reflected on three decades in the industry, admitting that much of Hollywood still perceives her through the prism of her adolescent breakthrough roles, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
In a Saturday profile with The Times U.K., Lohan admitted that she “wanted to take a minute” to herself, which saw her shy away from leading roles from 2013 until 2022.
“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,” she explained. “I wanted to wait to get that itch again.”
A new project Lohan is admittedly excited about is her upcoming Hulu Drama Count My Lies, where she will star and produce. Still, when reflecting on her career thus far and asked if she felt “pigeonholed,” she replied, “Yeah, I do.”
“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. So let me! Give me the chance,” Lohan said. “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.”
Lohan declared her ambition "to take on some more serious, dramatic roles,” further noting that she felt a bit of pressure to stick to the rom-com genre.
“I love doing romantic comedy because that’s where my home is and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I’d like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that’s an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me,” she added.
