Lindsay Lohan may have settled down with her new partner Egor Tarabasov, but she’s revealed in a new interview that she once passed up on a night of romance with Harry Styles – because she didn’t know who he was.

The 29 year old actress made the hilarious revelation while talking to The Sun’s Bizarre column, admitting that a few years ago the One Direction superstar showed up at her hotel room door at 2am in the hopes of getting lucky.

Opening the door, she recalls being intrigued by the sight of a man dressed in a suit that greeted her, but was apparently too distracted by a cheesy movie she was watching in her room to be bothered. “I said, ‘Well, you’re very good-looking — can I help you?’ That was it! I was like, ‘I’m going to bed but it was nice to meet you’.”

Explaining her decision, she said: “It was 2am, I had just come back from an AA meeting. I looked like s*** too. I was wearing a big hotel robe, I had a slip under it. It was not a good look.”

Lohan doesn’t mention when this incident took place, but it seems to have been recent enough for things to still be a little embarrassing between them when they bump into each other. “I saw him in L.A. recently. I think it’s probably awkward on both our parts now.”

Styles’ representatives haven’t commented about the amusing anecdote, but Lohan says that Styles was tricked into knocking on her door by some of his friends, who told him that there was an afterparty being held in her hotel room.

Lohan remembers that her younger sister Ali was furious after she told her about the incident the next, as she couldn’t believe that Lindsay had turned down one of the most eligible bachelors in show business.

“It didn’t click who he was at the time. I told my sister the next day and she was like, ‘Wait, are you kidding me? Do you understand? Do you have his number? Can I have it?’”

Meanwhile, Lohan’s personal life has settled down considerably since her race last year to complete sufficient community service hours to avoid a jail sentence. She’s been dating her new boyfriend, 22 year old Russian businessman Egor Tarabasov, since December.
