Lindsay Lohan's ex Calum Best files for bankruptcy

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan's former boyfriend Calum Best has filed for bankruptcy.

The 32-year-old British socialite, who briefly dated the "Mean Girls" actress in 2007, has declared himself bankrupt after blowing a fortune on drugs and alcohol during his wild years of partying, reported Daily Mirror.

Best, son of late soccer legend George Best, said, "I was blessed to earn a large amount of money at a young age, and mistakes have come with that. But also lessons learned.

"I can confirm I have made the decision to declare myself bankrupt as a result of being unable to make tax repayments. I feel as though this decision is the most constructive option," he added.
