| Lindsay Lohan talks back
'No, I didn't cut my leg, I fractured it. I have a hairline fracture in my foot. I slipped coming out of the shower and twisted my right ankle. Isn't that ironic, because the film I'm in now is called Just My Luck!' So do you think you're an unlucky person? 'No, I think I'm very lucky. Everyone has accidents.' Do you have a good luck charm? 'Yeah, I do. My sister! No, this bracelet that I have on is a good luck charm. Bree [Turner] got me a really nice ring that I still have, and I keep it as a good luck charm.' Do you have any tattoos? 'I got La Bella Vida on my lower back. They [the press] said it was something else, like the beautiful view, but it was for my grandfather. It means a beautiful life.' How do you feel about all the tabloid stories about you, and what is your life really like? 'I spend as much time as I can with my friends, when I'm in the same place as them. But I feel like people will always be judgemental about me. When I'm in New York it's great, because I'm really close to my sister. And whenever she's with me she makes me happy. She's going to play a younger me in a movie, so she'll be able to be with me. It's called Veronica Decides to Die.' Who do you think spreads all those rumours about you? 'If you can find out tell me because I don't know. Drama sells. But if I've dated as many men as they say I have, then I'd be dead by now! But you come into this industry, and you want to be written about to an extent, obviously. You're putting yourself in a place where people are going to put you on a pedestal, and sometimes they build you up to try to take you down. But that teaches you to work harder.' Is Just My Luck a new and different direction for you? 'It's kind of a coming-of-age thing for me - you can only act as if you're in high school for so long! But this kind of film was perfect for me, because it's not a dark film - it's my first romantic comedy, and I get to kiss Chris [Pine] in it! I still have a young fan base to look out for, so it was nice that I found this film.' Is it true that you auditioned guys yourself, based on whom you'd have to kiss? 'Uh yeah, we looked at pictures! One looked like someone from Sex and The City. I liked that! But when we were shooting, I'm standing there jogging next to this guy, and all of the sudden you just see me kind of attack the guy and kiss him! I felt so uncomfortable! I actually got to the point where I said, can I kiss him on his cheek and make it look like I'm kissing him?' Do you feel that fame shelters you from the real world? 'It depends on who you surround yourself with. I have a really great family, and a great group of friends. And I consider myself a pretty humble person. Fame is fame. What is fame anyway?' What's going on with the film you're doing about the murder of John Lennon? 'I actually sat down with Yoko Ono a few times to talk to her about it, because it's a very touchy subject, and nobody wanted me to do the movie, because John Lennon is a legend. I was really nervous going into it, because I got death threats and everything. But the director, I believe in him, and he's a good friend of mine, and Jared Leto did a great job. But I wanted to get the okay from Yoko. I'm actually friends with Sean (Lennon), we write together.' |
