Amanda Seyfried about Mean Girls

Seyfried reflected in the Vanity Fair interview that initially she auditioned for the role of Regina George in the Mean Girls. She was very excited as she had flown out to Los Angeles for the audition and she met Blake Lively who was playing Karen, along with Lacey Chabert and Lindsay Lohan.

After auditioning when she was flying back home, Amanda Seyfried received a call from the casting team that they might sign her to play the role of Karen in Mean Girls.
