First off, the fact that Lindsay Lohan did this Funny or Die video so soon after her dramatic breakup with Samantha Ronson shows that she’s got a sense of humor about herself – which is good. I’ve always said that if you can’t laugh at yourself you can’t laugh at anything.
According to the guys over at Funny or Die, Lindsay Lohan can laugh at herself so well that she’s not only in on the joke, it was actually her idea.
Under her red-headed coked up and drunk exterior is a young actress with a lot of talent and pretty good comedic timing.
“She wanted to do a Funny or Die video with all the stuff that everyone’s saying,” director Eric Appel tells Us. “She wanted to respond to it in a funny way, show that she gets it.”
Lohan reached out to Will Ferrell’s manager Wednesday about shooting a spoof. By Thursday, the team was pitching her ideas. On Friday, they had a script written. They filmed the one-and-a-half-minute clip in under two hours on Saturday.
“She came up with the stuff about being a threat to all security guards — she improvised while doing it,” he says. “She threw in a bunch of fun, funny stuff.”
The actress also holds up a cover of Us Weekly, which Appel says, “was a last minute thing. We all came up with the idea collectively and sent someone to the store to buy one. It was her idea to say, ‘I’m so alone’ directly into the camera.”
Good job Lindsay! It’s nice to see you’re able to make light of the chaos that is your life.
This does not, however, negate the fact that I want Lindsay Lohan to have a Britney-esque meltdown, however.
Speaking of which, how much longer do we have to wait before Britney Spears does a Funny or Die video about her public decent into madness? Maybe the destruction of her life isn’t funny enough yet.
