Amanda Seyfried is an award-winning actor known for popular projects like Mean Girls and The Dropout. Like many women in show business, she’s felt the pressure of trying to adhere to a certain body image standard. The now-37-year-old once revealed she was considered “overweight” and nearly lost out on some of her best roles because of it.

Amanda Seyfried is ready to welcome the next generation of Plastics.
The Emmy winner revealed she is still determined to be cast in the upcoming “Mean Girls” movie musical adaptation.
“I’m still hoping for a miracle. It’s not really up to us, is it?” Seyfried told Entertainment Tonight.
The “Dropout” actress confirmed that co-stars Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Lacey Chabert are also open to returning. “All four of us are 100 percent into it,” she said, adding that she already has a cameo idea. “Maybe the mothers of our characters? That’s what I was thinking, but listen, I have not even seen the script.”
Tina Fey and Tim Meadows are reprising their respective teacher roles almost 20 years after the original 2004 high school comedy. Fey wrote the script for the adaptation of the Tony-nominated musical, with husband Jeff Richmond behind the music and Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne directing.

Two decades after they first entered our lives, the "Mean Girls" are back and more musical than ever. And though much has changed since those conniving teens debuted in 2004, the Plastics still rule the world. Never mind that they definitely disbanded at the end of the movie and also lost their social capital at North Shore High — their legacy lives on! The producers behind the scenes of the "Mean Girls" musical movie knew this to be true, which is exactly why they reached out to the original actresses behind the iconic clique.
That's right, there's still a possibility that all four Plastics — Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, and Rachel McAdams — will reunite in the upcoming movie. But only if the price is right.

Actress Amanda Seyfried says Blake Lively almost lost playing the iconic character Karen Smith in 2004’s ‘Mean Girls’. During a video interview with Vanity Fair published Wednesday, Seyfried, 37, said that she believes she was cast in the role because she “played that person in high school in order to stay out of the drama” before recalling the specifics of her audition, reports people.com.
“I’d first auditioned for Regina, and I’d flown out to L.A. for the first time with my mother. It was very exciting,” Seyfried, who was 17 at the time, said of her first film role. “I met (Gretchen Wieners actress) Lacey Chabert for the first time, and Lindsay Lohan was in the room and Blake Lively was playing Karen, and then I was Regina.”

The plastics in Mean Girls almost looked a little different.
Amanda Seyfried, who played Karen Smith in the 2004 film, originally auditioned for the role of Regina George, which eventually went to Rachel McAdams.
“I’d flown out to L.A. for the first time with my mother. It was very exciting,” Seyfried told Vanity Fair in a recent interview. “I met Lacey Chabert for the first time, and Lindsay Lohan was in the room, and Blake Lively was playing Karen, and then I was Regina.”
The Emmy-winning actress left the room thinking she’d get a call either telling her that she did or didn’t get the part of the Queen Bee, but instead, they had another offer for her.
“I flew home, and they were like, ‘We think you’re more correct for Karen,'” she said. “So I was like, ‘Oh god, Ok, sure.'”
