Lindsay Lohan is living her best life as a mom. The actor recently got candid about how parenthood has changed her for the better.
Speaking with E! News, Lohan said that she wants to do more family-friendly movies like The Parent Trap. She wants her son to be able to see her work and to see what she does for a living.
“I want to do things that my son can see,” Lohan told the outlet. “But I also want to do things that inspire me.”
She said that her life has been completely different as a parent with “everything’s changing.” Still learning to care for her son has been educational. She said, “It’s a learning process—I’m having a different go at it. Figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it.”
One of the things that Lohan enjoys is keeping her baby close. She said that she likes to bring her son to set with her. For instance, she brought him to Ireland to film her new Netflix movie Irish Wish.
“I’m still fortunate he’s young, so I can bring him everywhere,” she told outlet. “And he is everywhere with me, because I don’t want to leave him. But I think it will definitely play more of a factor as time passes.”
