Amanda Seyfried hopes Mean Girls will live on forever—literally. Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actress, who played the lovable yet clueless Karen Smith in the 2004 teen comedy, reflected on the film’s lasting impact. Host Josh Horowitz noted how fans still quote the movie daily.
“I hope they quote it on my grave,” Seyfried, 39, responded. “In many ways, it was just a perfect movie.”
Seyfried made her big-screen debut in Mean Girls, starring alongside Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Tina Fey. The film became an instant classic, spawning a TV sequel, a Broadway musical, and a 2024 movie adaptation. Rumors of a reunion with the original cast continue to swirl.
Beyond its cultural influence, Seyfried treasures her experience making the movie. “I’d never been in a film before, never been on a set like that,” she said. “Everything was new.”
At just 17 during filming, she recalled forming close friendships, watching movies with Chabert, and listening to Dido in their trailers. “The relationships were new, and we all just got along so beautifully,” she shared. “It was unadulterated fun.”
Even if Mean Girls hadn’t become a phenomenon, she insists, the memories would still be special. “It’s a forever moment—locked in time, with timeless humor,” she said. “I’ll always honor that movie for what it did for me as a person.”
