Lindsay Lohan — the New York-born actress who spent time in Los Angeles — showed off a new accent recently while interviewed on Turkish TV in Athens, Greece.

On YouTube, reactions came thick with sarcasm:

  • “Guys, this is not Lindsay, it’s cleeearly her twin from the parent trap.”
  • “Rich people: ‘I’m bored with my life, going to give myself an accent, because why not.'”
  • “Plastic surgery gave her an accent.”

Perhaps the best description of the accent came on AV Club:

“Since relocating to London in 2012, Lindsay Lohan has made considerable strides to become a true citizen of the world, a place where she currently has no outstanding warrants. In recent years, she’s become interested in Transcendental Meditation and the teachings of Deepak Chopra, and displayed an open mind toward being photographed with the Quran.

“She became an unlikely, if slightly incoherent voice of reason amid the Brexit fiasco, and more recently she’s been working with Syrian refugees in Turkey, bringing them much-needed hope and energy drinks.

“Those endless months of being a voice for international concerns have since taken literal root: Linday Lohan now speaks in an accent of indeterminate origin — an Accent Without Borders, one that is everywhere and nowhere at once.”
