Lindsay Lohan who has been living overseas for the last number of years, was seen in Greece this week.

The actress has been the topic of conversation recently when Howard Stern footage from 2004 surfaced with Donald Trump talking derogatory about the then 18-year old.

In an appearance on Stern’s show in December 2004, Trump initiated a conversation about Lohan.

“What do you think of Lindsay Lohan?” Trump asked Stern.

“I think she’s hot,” responded Stern.

“There’s something there right?” Trump said. “But you have to like freckles. I’ve seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles?”

“I’m not into freckles, but the red hair thing I like. I like her on the cover of Entertainment Weekly,” said Stern.

“Now does the father wreck, does that bother you a little bit?” Trump asked later in the conversation.

“Howard feels that the father being a wreck is a good thing,” interjected co-host Robin Quivers.

“Oh yeah, because first of all, if the father’s a wreck like the way he is–” Stern said.

“Right,” said Trump.

“Can you imagine the sex with this troubled teen?” said Stern.

“Yeah, you’re probably right,” Trump said. “She’s probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women, you know, deeply, deeply troubled, they’re always the best in bed?”

Nice Donald. I’m sure your wife, kids and grandkids are very proud.

A representative for Lohan told CNN in an email, “Right now, Lindsay is choosing to focus on the positive things happening in her life and has decided to disregard the comments made about her by Presidential nominee Donald Trump. She is focusing on helping children around the world in need and that’s where her passion is.”
