So, turns out Lindsay had her heart set on a different Mean Girls role

So, pretty much everything about Mean Girls was spot on.

The script, the wardrobe, the acting, the cast- we wouldn’t change any of it.

Lindsay Lohan played the leading role of Cady Heron perfectly, but what if we told you she was originally interested in another role?

Well, in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress revealed that she was actually desperate to play the part of Regina George, because she wanted to be the cool girl on set for once.

“Mark [Director] came out to scout locations for Mean Girls and came to see me at my hotel and said, ‘Do you wanna do this movie?’'

''I wanted to play Regina. I had just played in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Freaky Friday, not the cool girl in school. I was still 17 years old and I wanted to be the cool girl on set.’’

“So I had a war with him, and he goes, ‘No, Cady is the heroine, and that’s who you are.’ Then I sat in all the auditions. Amanda Seyfried auditioned to play Regina as well. It ended up being Rachel McAdams, and she’s wonderful.”

According to People, Tina Fey also wanted Lindsay to play Regina, but the director, Mark Waters, eventually brought her around to his way of thinking – and we're glad.
