Lohan, 23, will be starring in Inferno, a drama/biopic that revolves around the late porn actress.

"I'm playing Linda Lovelace, who was the first globally recognised porn star," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Lohan as saying excitedly.

"She became famous in the 1970s with her movie Deep Throat. We follow her through her ups and downs and show what really went on in her life," she said.

Naturally, given the subject, Inferno is expected to have a lot of sex scenes and nudity, but Lohan is least bothered about them.

"The way that Matthew [Wilder, the director] wants to shoot it is not vulgar," she claimed.

"It's not about the raw sex and the shots of her fully nude. It's more about getting into her psyche and seeing how scared she was. That's what I want to show most in the film," she said.
