Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan turned to Yoko Ono for support after receiving death threats. Lohan started receiving the messages after agreeing to a role in Chapter 27, a film about Mark David Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon.

The film sparked controversy with Lennon’s fans because it attempts to humanise Chapman and Lindsay plays a Beatles fan that befriends him. She was advised by family and friends not to take the part:

“It’s a very touchy subject and no one wanted me to do the movie because John Lennon is a legend. I was actually nervous going into it because I did get death threats.”

“But I love my character in the movie and she is such a genuine fan of Yoko and John. She is like the Hitchcock blonde.”

“I actually sat down with Yoko Ono a couple of times to talk to her about it because I wanted to get the ‘OK’ from her… She was so sweet.”

“She gave me the confidence I needed. The things that she’s done are wonderful”.
