We are currently living through what can only be called a revival of the 2000s, or Y2K, in everything from music to fashion. Even if someone wasn’t alive during this time, they can still feel a sense of nostalgia for it. This happens for many different reasons, including the need to feel like one belongs. This means that time keeps moving forward, and people who were kids in the 2000s are now fully grown adults who got married and have their own kids.
Hiptoro has decided to find out where some of its all-time favorite child actors and actresses are now.
Lindsay Lohan.
She started out in the entertainment business as a model when she was only 3. She went on to star in movies like The Parent Trap (1998) and Freaky Friday (2003). Lindsay Lohan also starred in the holiday comedy Falling for Christmas, which came out in November 2022. She got married to the businessman Bader Shammas, and on July 2, she told everyone about it. After the wedding, she said that she was “the luckiest woman in the world.”
