lindsay lohan was thrust into the
spotlight at a young age
her personal exploits became fodder for
the paparazzi as did her well-documented
legal issues the mean girls star
eventually left the united states
moved overseas and chose dubai as her
full-time home in
a 2020 interview with david spade lohan
told the actor that she had lived in the
united arab emirates for six years and
first went to dubai in 2008.
there are several aspects of the city
that attracted the actress
and she cites a close female support
group as one of them she told w magazine
in 2018
it's a very big place for female
activists women have a very strong
community
lohan has expanded her brand since
moving overseas and
opened nightclubs in several locations
including mykonos
and athens one surprising byproduct of
lohan's move to the middle east
is that it brought her closer to her
family members including her father
michael lohan with whom she had
well-publicized issues in the past
during a 2019 interview on the howard
stern show lohan revealed
we're all in touch it just took me going
to dubai it's clear that lohan has
finally found peace in dubai
after spending almost her entire life in
the spotlight the actress and singer was
eager for a change of pace
in 2018 she revealed that she enjoyed
how the focus of conversations was not
centered on celebrity life in dubai
as she told emirates woman moving here
was a fresh start
you hear more about real current events
rather than celebrity gossip which i
really appreciate
in fact avoiding public scrutiny was a
major motivating factor in the parent
trap star's decision as she explained to
emirates woman
i moved here for that purpose i don't
have to be publicly seen all the time or
discuss what i'm doing
as lohan confirmed to w magazine in 2018
there's a certain calmness that i find
in dubai there's no paparazzi no cameras
that's a big deal for me ultimately the
serenity that lohan found since moving
to dubai has allowed her to be more
productive
the freaky friday star told emirates
woman i get more done because i don't
have the scrutiny and fixation on what
i'm doing every second i work all the
time
my mind never stops on july 3rd 2020
lohan celebrated turning 34 years old
and in a video posted to instagram she
showed off her personal growth
when reflecting on her low-key birthday
she realized how lucky we all are to
just have the people around us that we
love and the people in our lives that we
love
and how simple is key lohan changed her
lifestyle while living overseas and that
included spiritual
exploration in early 2017 the
confessions of a drama queen star
created a stir when she returned to the
united states
she was spotted holding the quran while
she returned home causing many to
speculate that the hollywood star had
converted to islam
during a facebook live with mailonline
lohan addressed her possible religious
conversion and revealed that she had an
affinity for the faith
ultimately she was studying the quran to
broaden her spirituality
and explained i've studied the quran for
quite some time it's a process to
convert to
anything it's a beautiful religion and i
am a very spiritual person you can't
just convert overnight to a religion
as i said before i find a solace in in
studying
not just the koran other religions just
like meditation at the end of 2019
lohan appeared ready to return to the
united states full-time
while speaking to anderson cooper and
andy cohen as part of cnn's new year's
eve coverage
the actress revealed she planned to
return to hollywood for 2020 and said
i'm managing my sister so i want to
really focus on me and everything that i
can do in my life and come back to
america and start filming again
which i'm doing something soon in this
new year however the coveted 19 pandemic
derailed lohan's plans
in april 2020 lohan appeared on david
spade's podcast via
zoom the performer said of her sister
she's stuck here with me in dubai
she was supposed to go and be working on
music in australia and everything
started happening
lohan also explained that she was happy
to be in dubai and was in no hurry to
leave
if she does eventually move back to the
states it probably won't happen anytime
soon
