Troubled actress
Lindsay Lohan says
she didn’t attend the recent Venice Film Festival because she is focusing on her health and well-being.
The 27-year-old actress was said to be booked for the event to promote “The Canyons” and no reason was given for her absence.
The actress, who completed a 90-day stay in court-ordered rehab last month, insisted she wish she could have been part of the festival. “I was never confirmed to attend. Of course, I would have enjoyed returning to that wonderful city and being a part of this amazing event, but my focus is on my health and well-being. Plain and simple, it is of the utmost importance,” she wrote on her website.
The movie’s director Paul Schrader had previously claimed the star was meant to be in Venice. (PTI)
