Lindsay Lohan Feels No Rush To ‘Snap Back’ After Son’s Birth
Lindsay Lohan attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.
Lindsay Lohan doesn’t feel any pressure or shame to rush out of her postpartum body. The Irish Wish actress welcomed her first child, son Luai, last July with husband Bader Shammas. In a new interview with Bustle published Thursday (March 14), the actress addressed Hollywood’s (and, in turn, society’s) obsession with being thin.

She told the publication how proud she is of her body and how little pressure she feels to “snap back.” Noting how “everyone’s getting so thin now,” the 37-year-old Mean Girl alum adds, “Everything always comes full circle again, so this is that moment.” Lohan is confident this trend of being thin will pass but feels and sees the “pressure” with weight loss drugs like the popular Ozempic.
Despite the pressures she can’t ignore around her, Lohan attachment to her son after giving birth was so strong, that her “last thought was going on a treadmill.” Lohan knows these pressures of looking perfect, growing up as a child star and from partying in the early aughts with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Even still, as she has come a long way since her troubled past, Lohan tells the publication, “I feel like we put so much pressure on ourselves to have to look good so soon, but you look so beautiful [postpartum]. Give yourself time.”
While appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show this week, Lohan said she manifested getting pregnant with her Irish Wish co-star and longtime friend, Ayesha Curry. While filming, she recalled telling Ayesha, “I really want to have kids soon.” Shortly after, Lohan got her wish and found out she was pregnant with Luai. And now that she has one, she’s got baby fever for another. Later during her Thursday morning appearance, Lohan gushed to host Drew that it is “so exhilarating” to sniff her 7-month-old baby.
These Famous Redheads Are Scorchin'
Natural-born redheads are a rarity in the world. According to World Population Review, black and brown-haired people are the most prevalent by a wide margin (particularly in Africa and Eastern Asia). Blonde is less common but still widespread. Red-haired people make up roughly two percent of the world’s population. Ireland and Scotland have the highest percentage of people with naturally red hair (13% in Scotland and 10% in Ireland).
Redheads have thicker hair than other hair colors, though they have less hair. On average, Redheads have 90,000 strands while blondes have 110,000, and brunettes have 140,000. Culturally, redheads are treated differently. In Polynesia, red hair is considered a sign that one’s ancestors were of noble status. At different times in history, Europeans have considered red hair a sign of immorality, lycanthropy (werewolves) or vampirism. Redheads are occasionally referred to as “gingers,” but this term is often considered disrespectful when used by non-redheads.
Genetically, red hair is the result of two recessive genes located on chromosome-16. When both of these recessive genes are present, they result in red hair, very light/fair skin, freckles, heightened sensitivity to temperature and UV/sunlight, and increased pain tolerance. Because of their commonly fair skin and sensitivity to UV light, redheads are more likely to develop skin cancer. The International Journal of Cancer reported in 2010 that natural redheads are approximately two and a half times as likely to develop the dangerous cancer as people with other hair hues.
Scientists have also suggested that one can be a natural redhead due to environmental factors. In fact, the United Kingdom’s high redhead population is believed to be caused in part by the weather. Because of a redhead’s heightened sensitivity to sunlight, their bodies are able to generate vitamin D more efficiently. This makes redheads slightly better-suited to the UK’s frequently cloudy and rainy weather.
