Lindsay Lohan visits hospital for Syrian refugees in Turkey
In a video interview of Lohan that went viral because of her new English accent, the 30-year-old used a phrase that has made people suspicious of her visit to Turkey in September.
“The world is bigger than five,” is a phrase used on several occasions by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his allies against the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the US, the UK, France, China, and Russia. Turkey believes that it should be included as a member, which would allow the country to set the world’s agenda by having the ability to veto any major action the UN can take.
And so, Lohan's use of the phrase has made people very suspicious. Apart from using this phrase during the interview, Lohan has also used it as a hashtag for pictures taken during her visit to Turkey in September to visit Syrian refugees. During an interview last month with ATV, a pro–ruling party channel, Lohan made her stance clear saying that the Security Council's structure should definitely be revised.

Further in an interview last month, Lohan praised Erdogan and his handling of the coup attempt this summer, saying that the support he got really inspired her to visit. Further, she posted a (now deleted) Instagram post last year, showing support for Erdogan’s AKP party in the upcoming elections.
Her support for Erdogan has led some people in Turkey to suggest that she could be getting paid by the government. There has also been skepticism surrounding Lohan’s wearing of a hijab while in Turkey, particularly because of all the praise she got from ‘Islamists’ who support Erdogan.
“Lindsay Lohan says ‘the world is bigger than five’ after coming back from Turkey, at the opening of her new club. I asked myself if I heard it wrong but no, she says it twice.”
“These bullies might have even given her money to have her say ‘the world is bigger than five.’”
“I wonder how Lindsay Lohan is spending all the money she made by coming to Turkey and putting on a hijab…”
"She's really into Turkey. What if she's an agent..."
“Lindsay Lohan, who visited Syrian refugees, shared an Instagram with the message ‘The World is bigger than 5.” I wonder how many kilos of pasta did Erdogan give her?”
“Why don’t you bring Sean Penn or Bono and have them say ‘the world is bigger than 5?’ Who cares about Lindsay Lohan? If you are talking about pop culture, they have Rihanna over there.”
