A resurfaced 2003 interview between Anthony Anderson and a 17-year-old Lindsay Lohan has sparked outrage on social media. Anderson, who was 33 at the time, made several comments that many now view as inappropriate.
During the interview on The Sharon Osbourne Show, Anderson asked Lohan, “What gentlemen will be at the new pad with you and Raven-Symoné?” When Lohan replied that she didn’t have a boyfriend, Anderson joked to the audience, “She’s single, but looking!” Lohan quickly added, “I’m illegal, for people that are old.” Anderson then said, “Some men like them young. We ain’t gonna mention no names, but I’m one of them.”

The clip has gone viral, with many calling his behavior “gross” and “uncomfortable.” A spokesperson for Anderson responded, saying, “This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay.”
Fans online remain critical, with one writing, “You don’t joke about being attracted to younger people — that’s not funny.”
