These Behind-the-Scenes Film Facts Give Us a Glimpse Into the Wild World of Cinema

The popular teen comedy film Mean Girls, a cultural phenomenon, is known for its witty dialogue and sharp social commentary. Although the casting choice seemed perfect, it almost had a different end. Can you imagine someone other than Rachel McAdams playing the iconic Regina George? Initially, Lindsay Lohan was cast as Regina, the film’s quintessential antagonist.

At that time, Lohan emerged from the success of Freaky Friday, where she played a more sympathetic character. Concerned about being typecast as a villain, Lohan preferred a more relatable role, leading her to take on the role of Cady Heron, the film’s protagonist. Rachel McAdams was then cast as Regina George, bringing a unique energy to the role.
