Life Style: US actress Lindsay Lohan says living in Dubai brought her ‘a sense of calm’

DUBAI: US actress Lindsay Lohan opened up this week about living in Dubai.

The “Mean Girls” star, who moved to the country in 2017, said in an interview with Vogue Magazine that living in the city brought her “a certain sense of calm.”

“I think it’s because paparazzi is illegal there,” said the 35-year-old actress who started her career in 2003. “I really found that I had a private life, and I could just take time for myself. I decided to stay there because I really learned to appreciate what it is to go, do my work, and then leave and live a normal life.

“It took me moving there to really appreciate the time that I take for myself, instead of just going, going, going, and learning to say ‘no,’ and really putting myself first, and choosing the things that I want to do, wisely, for me first,” she added.

In November, Lohan announced her engagement to Dubai financier Bader Shammas.

The two were first spotted together at a music festival in Dubai shortly before the pandemic hit in 2020.
