In the past few years Lindsay Lohan was making headlines for series of arrests and rehab stints. She became known as a troubled star with serious drug and alcohol abuse issues and her career suffered. Now, Lindsay is determined to show the world she has changed and hopes that her role in David Mamet’s Speed-The-Plow on West End will help her restore her reputation.

Asked if there would be any penalties for skipping shows or rehearsals, the actress told BBC: “That’s not going to happen. That’s not on the cards. It’s not. I’m at a place in my life where I like the commitment. I’m looking forward to that part of it.

“I want to be known for my talents and my work that I create, rather than a tabloid sensation. However long it does take, I’m willing to do it. I’m willing to work for it.”

Preparing for her West End debut, Lohan has been spending a lot of time in London and admits she is considering moving to the British capital.

“I’ve noticed here, watching the news, you guys have such a different outlook. In the U.S. starting at 5pm it’s Tmz, it’s all these shows talking about people’s personal lives and here I don’t notice any of that – it’s news and politics and music. So it’s nice to be able to turn on the Tv and not everything is about gossip. That’s a really nice feeling.”
