In a now-deleted Instagram post, actress Lindsay Lohan has explained that she doesn’t want people to watch Warner Brothers’s new supervillain movie Suicide Squad – on the grounds that the film is “hurting people” rather than “helping the world”.

"#nice #bless #turkey #staysafe a suicide squad movie is not helping the world but hurting people," she wrote in a post on Tuesday, using hashtags to reference the recent tragedies in France and Turkey. "Anger is not an answer for peace. #love #turnup #beherenow #lovenotwar."

In a previous post, also now deleted, Lohan appeared to suggest that Suicide Squad star Jared Leto, as well as actors Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson, had all drawn inspiration from Brandon Lee’s performance in The Crow when portraying the comic book character The Joker.
