Lindsay Lohan is hoping to avoid getting pigeonholed as she continues her career

With "Freakier Friday" on the horizon, Lindsay Lohan (and seemingly a portion of the media) is trying to will a Lohan-aissance into existence. If it happens, Lohan is hoping her career can be more eclectic than it was in her heyday.

While promoting her legacy sequel that dares to ask the question, "What if body-swapping, but more?," Lohan was asked if she ever has felt, or if she ever feels, "pigeonholed" professionally. "Yeah, I do," she said, before elaborating.

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. 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.

So, if you were wondering, Lohan would indeed work with one of the greatest directors in history if asked.

Side note: If you are trying to give your career a boost it helps to have Jamie Lee Curtis as a costar. She is one of the most-unabashed self-promoters (in a way that usually manages not to be annoying, mind you) but also is one of the most-unabashed promoters of others. She probably deserves at least 12 percent of the credit for "Everything Everywhere All At Once" winning so many Oscars.

In terms of avoiding pigeonholing, Lohan noted, "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." 

If this is the start of a successful, eclectic run for Lohan, fair enough. If Robert Downey Jr. can do it, so can she. It's also fair to note that Lohan repeatedly got herself into legal hot water, and it's abundantly easy to find stories about her being difficult-to-impossible to work with. Lohan can hopefully avoid the pigeonholing she fears, but she also has to keep herself employable this time around.
