In a surprising revelation, it has been disclosed that Lindsay Lohan was paid a paltry $100 per day to participate in a four-way s=x scene alongside three p^rn stars in The Canyons movie.
Despite the explicit nature of the scenes, the troubled actress received a minimal daily wage.
According to New York Times journalist Stephen Rodrick, Lohan's contract outlined a meager payment of only $100 per day with a share in profits but no decision-making authority.
The agreement also specified that the s=x scenes were mandatory and non-negotiable.
Rodrick had exclusive access to director Paul Schrader both prior to and during the filming process.
He recounts how Lohan, aged 26 and facing personal challenges, experienced a significant breakdown before shooting the provocative sequences.
This led Schrader, aged 65, to undress in an attempt to alleviate her anxiety.
The situation escalated when Lohan secluded herself in a closet just before filming the four-way scene with the adult film actors.
After coaxing her out, Schrader, along with p^rn star James Deen and two other cast members, stripped down to create a more relaxed atmosphere for Lohan.
Eventually, the tactic succeeded, and the scene was filmed in a single 14-minute take.
Despite initial apprehension, Lohan reportedly performed the scene confidently, even flashing a mischievous grin at Schrader midway through filming.
However, Lohan's challenges persisted throughout the production of the low-budget film, which had a modest budget of $250,000.
Rodrick notes that the Mean Girls star faced dismissal and subsequent rehiring even before filming commenced due to her unprofessional behavior.
After missing a crucial script reading session, Lohan was fired by Schrader, who had a replacement actress on standby.
In a desperate attempt to regain her role, Lohan appeared at Schrader's hotel in Los Angeles, pleading for reinstatement and citing exhaustion as the reason for her absence.
Despite the tumultuous start, Lohan was eventually reinstated following a comparison of her performance with that of another actress.
Yet, her time on set was fraught with difficulties, including an incident where she allegedly drove while intoxicated after filming a particularly intense scene.
Following the episode, Lohan chose to leave the set in her Porsche despite being offered a ride by a producer.
This reckless behavior left the crew uncertain about her future involvement in the project.
