I was gonna say “wow, she looks so healthy and recovered now”. Then I read the description and realized this is a 2005 interview 😅

[QuantumBraced]

She's sweet, there was that period where everyone was saying negative things about her and her personal life and it was quite ugly and unwarranted, everyone makes mistakes. I like her.

[rhondasilver]

Conan is always very respectful to his guests. He’s such a genuine person. Lindsay Lohan has dealt with many rude hosts, but never Conan!!

[hyejeongchang]

I love that people commenting here are very supportive of her comeback. That's how it should be. I hope she can make a great comeback too and surround her self with supportive and positive people!

[lauraryan]

She's such a sweet girl, it's horrible how the media treated her so badly.

[covoro]

I can't explain it. For some reason, watching this interview just brought me genuine joy.

[Hobs]

Man, i just feel that Conan knew what she was going through and did worry about her. I remember that time, the industry did not treat her well

[eezyclsmooth]

This was 15 yrs ago. In 2022 Hollywood and many critics have given her a rough time. She seems quite talented
and pleasant.

I remember when she went blonde and that was sadly the beginning of the end of her career. Her over managing parents just driving her into the ground. Her drug addiction from partying WAY too much that later did so much damage to her that she is practically unrecognizable from this video as opposed to today.

I wish she could have a massive career comeback like Robert Downey jr. did after he got clean. It’s just such a shame to see a talented, beautiful woman be chewed up and spit out by Hollywood, especially TMZ and the parasitic paparazzi.

[LipstickLullabies]

I got through almost this entire interview without realizing this was old clip from 2005. I honestly thought she was coming back and I was thinking how she looked exactly like she did when she was younger. 😟

[EmpyreanLightASMR]

She's such a doll and despite her troubles, I love her movies — they are almost all extremely fun and she's always watchable. And she and Conan vibe well, I wish she'd go onto his podcast.

[brettjamz]

Bless her. Hopefully she has a great come back.

[RenataHanusova]

That was actually so sweet. Calm but honest interview.

[edwardwilliams]

She really looks healthy. Electric smile. Wish her the best.

[vanilla]

Gosh I miss the world when they didn't tell everyone they needed lip fillers. so beautiful look at her face! I miss her original face

[richboyprado]

So happy for her - she’ll always be my favorite actress

[brookemaione]

I watched Letterman interview Lindsey and she basically cried he was so rude to
her, Conan was so pleasant, same thing with Britney how interviewers were so mean to her and Conan was so nice.

[Woozlewuzzleable]

This is right before she went full Lindsay Lohan and the weight of the world crushed her spirit.

[daisyalicia]

WHEN YOU REALIZE ALMOST EVERYONE THINKS ITS A RECENT VIDEO :(

[mindy]

I love love love Lindsay Lohan! I’m so happy to see her in good spirits. I’m always rooting for her. One of my favorite childhood actresses! She’s so beautiful both inside and out!
