Ieri sera, 9 aprile, Lindsay Lohan è stata ospite di David Letterman nel suo Late Show With David Letterman per parlare delle sue piccole apparizioni al fianco di Charlie Sheen nella serie Anger Management e in Scary Movie 5, ma soprattutto per promuovere il suo progetto più importante: 90 giorni in un centro di disintossicazione e i successivi 18 mesi di terapia intensiva.
Il prossimo 2 maggio entrerà in rehab e, in teoria, non la vedremo più per tre mesi perché non potrà mai allontanarsi dal centro.
L’intervista sarà trasmessa in Italia questa sera su Rai 5, dopo le 23. Ospite musicale, Gary Clark Jr.
Rai 5 farà il boom di spettatori, quindi abbiamo messo tutto l’impegno possibile (credeteci) per tradurre dall’inglese all’italiano una parte saliente dell’intervista (sotto), in cui la 26enne attrice di Mean Girls parla della riabilitazione.
Letterman: “Now, aren’t you supposed to be in rehab now?”
Lohan: “Do you not watch anything that goes on? …May 2nd.”
Letterman: “May 2nd – and how long will you be in rehab?”
Lohan: “Three months.”
Letterman: “How many times have you been in rehab?”
Lohan: “Several.”
Letterman: “And how will this time be different? What are they rehabbing, first of all? What is on their list? What are they going to work on when you walk through the door?” (The audience laughs.)
Lohan (laughs): “We didn’t discuss this in the pre-interview, I’m just saying to everyone.”

Letterman: “No, it’ll be three months, and – ”Lohan: “No, I think, to be honest, I’m the happiest when I’m working and the healthiest, and I think this an opportunity for me to, you know, focus on what I love in life. And I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I think it’s a blessing…and not a curse.”
Letterman: “To be able to, yeah – it’s perhaps a life saver, a career saver.”
Lohan: “Yeah.”
Letterman: “Now, do you have addiction problems?”
Lohan: “Now you sound like Dr. Phil.” (The audience laughs.)
Letterman: “Yeah, I’m sorry. Is it, like, alcohol? Do you drink too much?”
Lohan: “We’ve discussed this in the past.”
Letterman: “Did we really? When did we discuss – now I’m the one who’s having the blackouts…I oughta be at rehab. For the love of God, what is wrong with me?”.
