Amanda Seyfried says Blake Lively almost played her iconic Mean Girls role #IndiaNEWS #Entertainment
Los Angeles, Feb 24 (IANS) Actress Amanda Seyfried says Blake Lively almost lost playing the iconic character Karen Smith in 2004s Mean Girls.
During a video interview with Vanity Fair published Wednesday, Seyfried, 37, said that she believes she was cast in the role because she played that person in high school in order to stay out of the drama before recalling the specifics of her audition, reports people.com.
Id first auditioned for Regina, and Id flown out to L.A. for the first time with my mother. It was very exciting, Seyfried, who was 17 at the time, said of her first film role. I met (Gretchen Wieners actress) Lacey Chabert for the first time, and Lindsay Lohan was in the room and Blake Lively was playing Karen, and then I was Regina.
I flew home, and they were like, You know what, lets we think youre more correct for Karen, so I was like, Oh, God, okay, sure, she added of the casting process. Mean Girls casting director Marci Liroff once told Cosmopolitan UK that while the production initially wanted Lively, who had not yet rose to fame for 2005s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, to play Karen, producer Lorne Michaels ultimately suggested casting Seyfried in the role.
(Lively) came down to the final tests but, at some point, some of the filmmakers said to keep looking, Liroff said during a 2019 interview with the outlet.
Amanda Seyfried had read for Regina and we really liked her but then Lorne suggested, Why dont we make her Karen?
