Jonathan Bennett might not be thick as thieves with the “Mean Girls” cast like in the old days, but they have an enduring friendship — and a group chat that is so fetch! Speaking to E! News, the Hallmark star shared that many of them have maintained contact through the years. “I talk to Danny [Franzese], I talk to Lindsay [Lohan], I talk to Amanda [Seyfried] every once in a while,” he said. “We have a ‘Mean Girls’ group chat that lights up every October 3.” At this point, their bond remains pretty much unshakeable. “It’s like a family,” he added. “We all got to be involved in this really special movie that meant a lot to a lot of people and you don’t always get in your career.”
He did admit, though, that the reunion on the film’s 16th anniversary was slightly “awkward,” primarily because it was all virtual. “It really did give us, like, a sense of nostalgia seeing everybody and being next to each other, like, on screen,” he told the outlet.
And his ride-or-die from the cast? It’s none other than Lacey Chabert. “There are certain people that come into your life and it’s never the same again,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Little did I know that she would be a rock for me throughout the next 16 years and see me through the ups and downs of life and show business. She has stood by me and been a beacon of light and love when I have felt lost.”
