Washington [US], March 21: Amanda Seyfried, known for playing the beloved character Karen Smith in the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls, recently opened up about the film’s lasting influence and how it continues to resonate with audiences. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Seyfried expressed her deep appreciation for the movie’s lasting impact on pop culture.
When asked about the film’s enduring popularity, Seyfried acknowledged that Mean Girls had become a “forever moment” that remains relevant and beloved across generations. “I hope they quote it on my grave,” she remarked, highlighting how integral the film has been to both her career and personal life.
Seyfried, who was only 17 when she filmed Mean Girls, credits the movie with launching her acting career and offering an unforgettable experience. “I truly think the experience of making it has nothing to do with how well it did, for sure,” she explained, adding, “I think the experience for me is very specific, because I’d never been in a movie before.”
Reflecting fondly on the filming process, Seyfried spoke about the strong bond she shared with her co-stars, including Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Lacey Chabert. “We all just got along so beautifully,” she recalled, emphasizing that the experience was filled with “unadulterated fun.”
Mean Girls, released in 2004, follows the story of Cady Heron (Lohan), a new student who becomes entangled with the popular clique, The Plastics. Despite the years that have passed since its release, the film remains a fan favorite, inspiring a 2011 sequel, Mean Girls 2, and a 2023 movie musical based on the Broadway adaptation.
As Seyfried reflects on her time with the film, she reiterated how Mean Girls will always hold a special place in her heart. “I will always be excited to talk about it, I will, any day, honour that movie,” she concluded.
