Lohan and Curry, who is married to basketball star Stephen Curry, grew particularly close during filming, often planning dinners, spa days, and movie nights together. “We watched Paranormal Activity,” Lohan added in the release. It was also revealed earlier this week that Ayesha and Steph are godparents to Lohan’s son, Luai, whom the actor shares with her husband Bader Shammas.
Lohan’s younger brother Dakota also makes a cameo in Irish Wish, which feels especially fitting given the Lohan family’s Irish roots.
What is Irish Wish about?
Set in Ireland and filmed on location in Wicklow, Irish Wish emphasizes self-discovery just as much as romantic partnership. Here’s the full synopsis from Netflix: “When the love of her life gets engaged to her best-friend, Maddie 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 felt drawn to the project in part because the role deviates from those she’s played in the past.
“Maddie’s [one of the only] characters that I’ve played [who’s] a woman on her own making her way in the world,” Lohan further noted in the press release. “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.”
“It’s important to put yourself first and know your worth,” she added. “If you know you deserve better, go for it and get it.”
