I think really for me was when I went onto the Disney lot. And being back on the Disney lot because that’s not just Freaky Friday for me. That’s The Parent Trap, that’s Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, that’s Herbie. It’s so many moments for me. So when I got there, I kind of felt like this essence of a little kid again. I’m so grateful for every moment of it. Every second… I’m going to, like, get emotional. It’s a great experience.

Lindsay Lohan’s Battle with Addiction
Lohan entered Hollywood at a very early age. Along with immense fame, came a set of challenges that made it difficult for the young actress to navigate the perils of the movie business. From mental health troubles to shaky family dynamics, Lohan had her fair share of obstacles that hindered her growth. Above all, her struggle with drug and alcohol abuse took a heavy toll on her life and career.
Moreover, Lohan had to be arrested and face more legal consequences due to her substance abuse issues. The media didn’t help as the paparazzi followed her everywhere and images of Lohan under the influence were often front-page news. Gradually, her condition improved as she took rehabilitation steps and even reconciled with her family. Lately, she has been on a mission to regain her Hollywood fame.
