Lindsey Lohan has been badly bruised after hours of pole-dancing in preparation for her latest film role.

Lohan has been cast as a stripper in the new film I Know Who Killed Me.

The actress told the New York Post, "Three hours of pole-dancing and bruised everywhere. I mean we're talking upper and inner thigh action-bruised - like a walking black-and-blue mark.

"I mean really...I didn't know it was actually possible to have bruises in such areas of the body."

She added, "Strippers, dude, I tell you, I really respect them now...We should give these women credit."
