Rachel McAdams has opened up about her absence from a recent Walmart commercial featuring her Mean Girls castmates.
In a new interview with Variety, the star revealed she wasn’t aware that her Mean Girls co-stars Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert were going to be in the advert.
“I don’t know; I guess I wasn’t that excited about doing a commercial if I’m being totally honest,” Rachel, 45, confessed to the outlet.
“A movie sounded awesome, but I’ve never done commercials, and it just didn’t feel like my bag. Also… I didn’t know that everyone was doing it. I would, of course, always love to be part of a Mean Girls reunion and hang with my plastics, but yeah, I found that out later.”
The Notebook actress also told Variety there were discussions for her to potentially appear in the forthcoming Mean Girls movie musical.
“Tina (Fey) and I sort of dabbled with a few ideas, but it was tough to make it all work in the end,” Rachel explained. “I was really down for whatever she wanted to do. I think the direction it went in will be fantastic and I cannot wait to see it.”
The new Mean Girls movie, based on the Broadway musical, is set for release in cinemas on 19 January.
