‘Mean Girls’ co-stars share rare insight into friendship of over 20 years

Mean Girls co-stars Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Seyfried have recently made rare comment about their friendship of more than 20 years.

The Freaky Friday actress speaks of Amanda in her latest interview with GQ magazine.

“We’ve stayed close because there’s genuine trust and respect between us,” says the 39-year-old.

Lindsay tells the outlet, “What started as shared experience has grown into a meaningful friendship over time.”

Reflecting on the current status of her friendship with Amanda, the Just My Luck actress points out, “We talk more about life, motherhood and our families. She’s always someone I can rely on. That consistency is rare and something I really cherish.”

Meanwhile, the Mamma Mia! actress also opens up that she had a “front-row seat to how Lindsay’s every move was scrutinised in the mid-2000s”.

“The outsized bashing is ugly… It’s like, a fear of mine. I would not want to be spotlit for being infamous in any way,” explains the 40-year-old.

Amanda adds, “We are almost the same age. I also wasn’t working at that level. The spotlight was on her, no matter what she did.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the In Time actress discussed the experience of her memorable movie.

“That's an organic moment. It was, in many ways, a perfect movie, and people relate to it, still. It connected us, and it continues to. I will always be excited to talk about it,” she stated.
