Lindsay Lohan is already sick of the interest in her "fascinating" new accent.
On Tuesday, the actress delivered an interview in an accent that was a far cry from the New York tone fans have become accustomed since she burst onto screens at the age of 11 in The Parent Trap.
Lohan said she would leave it up to her fans to devise a name for this new, hybrid accent, described as a mix of European and American dialects.
But the actress is now growing tired of the speculation and on Thursday pleaded with her fans: “I just want everyone to not focus on my accent and be happy and help each other and recognise what’s happening”.
The accent follows an unusual year for the newly established humanitarian. Lohan has hit the headlines several times for her engagement and subsequent acrimonious split with her former boyfriend, her praise for the controversial Turkish President Erdogan (she repeats his catchphrase, “the world is bigger than five”, in the accent video) and ripping her finger off in a boating accident.
Of course, there is always the possibility the accent is a ploy to make headlines in order to get her refugee message across. In which case, perhaps Lohan is simply just a PR genius.
