It’s ‘cast’. ‘Casted’ is incorrect.

[@mariberry06]

I never realized Regina’s hair was a blonde wig! Lol! Or that Amy was only 32

[@TheMusicalFeeling]

mariberry06 amy looked old

[@mariberry06]

I thought she was at least 45 :/

[@jeremyhunter5562]

That's why they call that the makeup department! They know all the little secrets :)

[@yourblueboy]

White people always look older

[@marlenna6730]

yourblueboy That’s because we mature faster and don’t hide in the house all the time, actually enjoy life instead of making everything about our selves when ya do go out Lol id rather but white any day then look like jeepers creepers and have cracks and dried out skin and black and white spots all over my body. And can’t forget Graves’ disease, lol like ew.

[@boxminded666]

Well she was home schooled for so long she didn't realize what Janice was getting her into. Janice and Regina had history way before and Cady just got caught in the middle and had poor judgment front there. Her character was redeemable; what she experienced was a whole other world, which is why her parents were so concerned about sending her to HIGH SCHOOL.

[@mp3holder94]

“iregardless” She was still a perfect Cady. And who knows it might not be what it is or we may not have even gotten a broadway show !

[@alaebk7825]

The whole point of the movie comes from the title "mean girls" which means ALL of the the girls are mean

how they leave us with "Mean Girls were supposed to be Homeschool" and just end the video-

This movie is legendary and iconic! Even in 2072 teens are still relate with Mean Girls.

[@zacheryspencer]

Honestly the movie is perfect all around! And Amy as Regina’s Mom just appeared like she was in her 50’s!! Not that she looked old or anything, but she looked way older then being in her early 30’s! That’s just crazy to me lol

[@itsjiminsnonexistentjams1221]

If definitely is hard to get casted in a part that’s completely differnt from your personality because people will view you as that, so props to these girls!

[@juans8356]

It's a crime that they haven't released a 4K blu ray version of this masterpiece.

Wow thats crazy

[@user-mq8xg5tc1o]

The fact that Regina is a little bit younger than her mom is gonna hunting me forever from now on

[@zacheryspencer]

I always knew Reginas hair was a wig lol But Amy looked like she was in her 50’s! No way she was only 32 lol That’s really crazy..not that she looked old, but they must have made her appear way more older for the role

[@alphaomega9626]

That's exactly what they were going for: a 50-something who had so much plastic surgery that she thinks she looks 30.

[@TCGArsenal]

Lindsay lohan is 8 years younger than rachel mcadams, but now she looks much more older than mcadams. OMG mcadams looks perfectly fine in doctor strange. She's a gorgeous artist.

James Franco in Mean Girls .. a dream😭

[@maracuj44]

AMANDA SAYING RYAN GOSLING IS CUTE WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER

[@johnsmi213]

When "Mean Girls" first came out, Rachel McAdams' birthday revealed she was 29 and only three years younger than Amy Poehler. After her huge success, she suddenly shaved off four years and claimed to have been 25. She does look really young but it ruins that piece of trivia.

[@brendaizquierdo5695]

I remember that

[@sasha43630]

yeah she was 28 when they filmed mean girls

I’m not gonna lie it was kinda awkward when she said she had a movie coming up with Ryan ,,. They seem so young and innocent in the interview

This movie was uploaded in the same exact date as my b’day wow

[@Matiasisbae]

“Your so skinny” “Shut up”

So sad. The cast still looks stunning these days except Lindsay.

[@sillyweirdo7014]

She was the prettiest of those 3 plastics but now she is the ugliest one. That's so scary how time has changed.

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

Silly Weirdo They were all pretty, but Lindsay had more of the innocent sweet girl vibe going on. It’s funny how now it’s Rachel Mcadams that is seen as a sweetheart and IS really one even though she played evil Regina.

[@maikapetalbo6811]

I didnt recognized lindsay now when I searched her on google. Looks different

[@mel5282]

Silly Weirdo she was not the prettiest

[@chelseadaley9770]

I think the whole cast amazing in this movie because actually Rachel was outstanding as Regina George because from after watching the notebook with her and Ryan gosling she was this girl who was very sweet and down to earth and humble until she was casted so in mean girls she was so amazing as Regina because she came alive in this one because when the claws came out when she had no choice to be very sassy and dramatic it was hilarious
