Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Lohan to appear in new BBC docLindsay Lohan is well known for her wild child ways.

But the Beeb have decided she's the perfect candidate to front a new documentary on child trafficking.

The 23-year-old was inspired to support more good causes following a meeting with British businessman Richard Branson in Dubai, according to reports.

"I'm going to India before Thanksgiving. I'm doing a documentary for the BBC Network. I like to support charities," said Lindsay.

"I think it's important to kind of have a voice when you can have one, and make a difference.

"It's basically on the trafficking of children in Bihar, India. So it'll be starting soon. We're just trying to work out the times and the dates."

The move is a big departure for the actress, who hasn't appeared in a box office hit since 2004's Mean Girls.

"I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited to do something like that," she added.
