Lindsay Lohan has an explanation for her strange new accent.
The 30-year-old American actress told the Daily Mail she sounded much different in a viral interview from October because she's learning three new languages.
"It's a mixture of most of the languages I can understand or am trying to learn," she said. "I've been learning different languages since I was a child. I'm fluent in English and French and can understand Russian and am learning Turkish, Italian and Arabic."
Lohan had spoken with a vaguely British accent at the opening of her Greek nightclub Oct. 15. An interview from the event went viral Tuesday, but the star's dad, Michael Lohan, also downplayed the incident.
@DailyMailUK what should I call my new accent? I'm thinking #LILOHAN

"Lindsay picks ups languages like I pick up a coffee!" he told Entertainment Tonight. "I will tell you this, she's spoken other languages on the phone with me -- languages I don't understand. I'll be on the phone with her and I'll hear her say something in fluent Farsi to a friend she's with."
"[She's] absolutely amazing," Michael Lohan added. "She's so happy and healthy and doing great. Every time I talk to her, so she's so positive. There's nothing to be concerned about."
Lohan settled in London in 2014 after starring in a West End production of Speed-the-Plow. The actress is known for The Parent Trap, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls and will next appear in The Shadow Within.
