The cast of Mean Girls might have employed some method acting, as Lindsay Lohan, then just 17, found it challenging to fit in with her Plastics co-stars, she admitted to The New York Times on Wednesday. “When I did Mean Girls, it was hard because Rachel McAdams was so much older. I was in school. Amanda (Seyfried) and Lacey (Chabert) were all hanging out. It was hard for me to find where I fit in,” Lohan, 39, said. At the time Mean Girls was filmed, McAdams was 25 and Lacey Chabert was 21. Amanda Seyfried, like Lohan, was 17, but had already graduated from high school. But Lohan is no stranger to age-gap friendships: before Mean Girls, Lohan starred in Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, with whom Lohan became extremely close. “Jamie was with me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot publicly,” Lohan told People. She was just 15 when Freaky Friday began shooting, and Curtis was 44. “What we asked Lindsay to do at 15 years old,” Curtis reflected on Wednesday, ”is extraordinary.”
