The original cast of ‘Mean Girls’ recently made an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and their interview is everything fans could have hoped for. Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey, and other cast members joined Ellen to discuss the iconic movie and share some behind-the-scenes stories.
Lindsay Lohan, who played Cady Heron in the film, talked about the plot and her character. She explained that Cady is a girl who enters high school for the first time after being homeschooled. The movie explores the challenges of fitting in and being accepted by peers. Lindsay emphasized the importance of being true to yourself and not changing who you are to be accepted.
The conversation then shifted to Tina Fey, the writer of the film. She shared that ‘Mean Girls’ was actually based on a nonfiction book called ‘Queen Bees and Wannabes,’ which focuses on helping girls navigate the treacherous years of middle school. Tina found the anecdotes in the book about girls’ interactions with each other hilarious, which inspired her to create the film.
Tina also discussed how teenagers today face different challenges compared to when she was in high school. She humorously mentioned that in her time, showing a certain part of the body, like the chiseled muscle area Pink is known for, was not a concern. However, she hilariously pointed out that today’s girls have zippers on their jeans so long that she doesn’t understand how they do it.
The conversation took a lighthearted turn when Lindsay Lohan presented Ellen with a handmade hat. Lindsay revealed that she knits hats as a form of therapy and multitasks by knitting while working out on an elliptical machine. Ellen was impressed by the big, sparkly hat and the fact that Lindsay made it during breaks on set.
Towards the end of the interview, Lindsay’s parents, who were in the audience, were acknowledged. They shared their support for Lindsay’s acting career and reminisced about the early days of getting her an agent in Canada.
Overall, the interview was entertaining, funny, and provided fans of ‘Mean Girls’ with some insights into the film’s creation and the experiences of the cast. This chat show episode is a must-watch for any fan of the movie or those who enjoy a good dose of comedy and behind-the-scenes stories.
