Malin Akerman: Taking Over For Lindsay Lohan Was 'So Awkward'

Watchmen star Malin
Akerman may have taken on a number of difficult roles during her
Hollywood career, but none as awkward as her upcoming role in the Linda
Lovelace biopic Inferno.

Akerman, 32, took over the part of the late porn star at the end of
2010, while Lindsay Lohan, who was originally scheduled to play the Deep
Throat star, was receiving treatment for substance abuse.

Akerman told Fox 411 of the switch, "Of course [it was so awkward] but
it will be a wonderful journey. ... [Lovelace] was a survivor.
Unfortunately she's not with us anymore, but her life was really
incredible and I am excited for that to come out."
