Lindsay Lohan has opened up about filming her newest Netflix movie “Irish Wish” in her grandfather’s homeland of Ireland.
“Ireland’s so beautiful,” Lohan recently told Netflix blog Tudum.
“I’d never been, [but] my grandfather’s from there. We stayed in this little town called Dalkey. The people are so nice, and the Guinness pies were amazing.”
“Irish Wish,” Tudum notes, is set in the “rolling green moors of Ireland” and was filmed on location in Co Wicklow.
Indeed, Lohan was spotted in Ireland in September 2022, and was kind enough to pose for pics with the staff of The Bridge Tavern in Wicklow Town:

The logline for the new romcom says: “When the love of her life gets engaged to her best friend, Maddie [Lohan] puts her feelings aside to be a bridesmaid at their wedding in Ireland.
“Days before the pair are set to marry, Maddie makes a spontaneous wish for true love, only to wake up as the bride-to-be. With her dream seeming to come true, Maddie soon realizes that her real soulmate is someone else entirely.”
Lohan says: “It’s a nice story of luck and love and confidence."

37-year-old Lohan, who shot to fame with starring roles in “The Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls,” described what it was like playing the lead role: “Maddie’s [one of the only] characters that I’ve played [who’s] a woman on her own making her way in the world.
“We shaped her in a way that she was a bit more insecure in the beginning, and then she grows throughout the movie, and by the end, she really comes into her own.”

In the film which is set to be available on Netflix on March 15 - just in time for St. Patrick’s Day - Lohan stars alongside Ed Speleers, Alexander Vlahos, Ayesha Curry, Elizabeth Tan, Jacinta Mulcahy, and Jane Seymour.
Lohan told Tudum that she had great fun with her castmates, but perhaps had the most fun with her younger brother Dakota Lohan who appears in the film.
“Whenever [I’m] with family, I’m really bad at not cracking up for some reason,” Lohan says. “I make funny faces when I’m off camera just to mess with them.”
