You Think You Know Lindsay?
Cosmopolitan US|Issue 07, 2022
While you've been doing your thing, Lindsay Lohan has been quietly vision-boarding her way right into the most prolific years of her life and now, she's ready to talk about them.

You Think You Know Lindsay?

So, listen. I could start by telling you how I grew up with Lindsay Lohan. How I can chart my entire childhood by which of her classic movies was playing in the background (The Parent Trap as I processed my own parents' divorce; Freaky Friday, their second marriage; Mean Girls while I figured out what the actual hell high school was). But I won't, because every girl born within a decade of the now-36-year-old actor has some version of the same story at least one film from LiLo's decades-deep career that's sat with them in a personality-forming way. And, of course, some narrative they've crafted in their mind about the nature of her celebrity and what she's like as a person all this time later.

I'm going to focus instead on the right now, because Lindsay is right here in front of me in the iconically freckled flesh. She's come all the way from her home in Dubai to shoot a cover story that's a very big deal for obvious reasons. Getting the famously private star-so private that she moved to Dubai because paparazzi are illegal there-to sit down for a candid interview has been a feat nearly a year in the making. And we have a lot of new ground to cover.

For one, she's getting ready for the November 10 premiere of her Netflix movie Falling for Christmas, to be followed by two more films in a multi-picture deal that promises the return of the rom-com queen we all love. Also on the long list of roles, she's currently juggling: executive producer of those Netflix movies, podcast host (The Lohdown With Lindsay Lohan), narrator of the Amazon Prime reality dating show Lovestruck High, Super Bowl commercial star (for Planet Fitness), newlywed...you get the idea. The internet is cheering for a "Lohan-aissance" for a reason.

THE NEW C-SUITE 2024

Progress. It’s a word that, in 2024, gets thrown around a lot. Especially when it comes to representation across all sorts of roles at all sorts of companies, including, crucially, at start-ups. Yet...people of color—and specifically women of color—still don’t often get the chance to even enter the conversation. Over the past few years, less than 1 percent of venture capital funding in this country has gone toward women of color entrepreneurs. (Making matters worse, funds that are geared toward supporting these women have become targets of anti-affirmative-action groups, forcing at least one to shut down entirely.)

It’s very likely that no matter where you are right now, there’s a copy of Fourth Wing nearby. Probably one of Iron Flame too. Both books, by romantasy queen Rebecca Yarros, topped every bestseller list—and absolutely ignited BookTok, spawning a rabid fandom that cannot get enough of badass heroine Violet Sorrengail and her relationship with fellow dragon-rider Xaden Riorson. Honestly, what’s not to love? There’s extreme adventure. Absurdly high stakes. Wildly hot sex. And the promise of a lot more, starting right here, with this exclusive first excerpt of the series’ third book, Onyx Storm. Friends, get your daggers ready. (IYKYK. If you don’t, prepare to get obsessed.)
