Overview

  • Lohan, now 39, told The New York Times she struggled to fit in on Mean Girls at 17 because she was still in high school while co-stars socialized off-set
  • She noted that Rachel McAdams was 25 during filming, Amanda Seyfried was 17 but already graduated, and Lacey Chabert was 21, creating a social gap
  • On the upcoming Freakier Friday sequel, Lohan praised Julia Butters (16) and Sophia Hammons (18) for forming a tight bond from day one despite not knowing each other before
  • She said the narrower 16–18 age range on her new film fosters natural off-screen chemistry and mutual support among young actors
  • Freakier Friday, which reunites Lohan with Jamie Lee Curtis, is set to premiere in theaters on August 8, 2025
