Lindsay taking political stance
According to the BBC, Lindsay Lohan has more than just acting on her mind when it comes to her latest film, ‘Bobby’.
Actress Lindsay Lohan has said she hopes her new film will encourage young people to engage in politics.
Bobby, showing in competition at the Venice Film Festival, centres on the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles in June 1968.
Mean Girls star Lohan, 20, said she hoped people would be stirred by the depiction of Kennedy in the film.
"For people of my generation, I think it’s important to bring awareness of a great leader," she said…
Lohan plays a young bride who is marrying the brother of her boyfriend so that he does not have to fight in the Vietnam war.
"I feel I have always been somewhat politically engaged," she said.
"I strongly encourage people of my age and generation to have a say and to vote, and to involve themselves in what’s going on in the world, because they are living in it.
"I’ve always been like that but I keep it to myself. It’s safer that way."…
"Lindsay came to this wanting to be a part of something bigger. It wasn’t about just putting her name on something. She really believed in this and we were lucky to have her."
