Mean Girls costars Amanda Seyfried and Lindsay Lohan are still going strong after greater than 20 years of friendship.
“We’ve stayed close because there’s real trust and respect between us,” Lohan, 39, told GQ magazine in a brand new profile of Seyfried published on Monday, June 15. “What began as shared experience has grown right into a meaningful friendship over time. Now we talk more about life, motherhood and our families. She’s all the time someone I can depend on. That consistency is rare and something I actually cherish.”
Seyfried, 40, meanwhile, told the outlet that she had a front-row seat to how Lohan’s every move was scrutinized within the mid-2000s.
“The outsized bashing is ugly,” she said. “It’s like, a fear of mine. I might not need to be spotlit for being infamous in any way.”
“We’re almost the identical age. I also wasn’t working at that level. The highlight was on her, regardless of what she did,” Seyfried added.
Lohan, Seyfried, Rachel McAdams and Lacey Chabert played the Plastics in 2004’s Mean Girls, boosting all of their careers. Nevertheless, only Lohan was a tabloid staple on the time, alongside the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
Unlike her former costar, Seyfried said, she didn’t have as much attention on her.
“I mean, did I am going clubbing? Yeah,” she told the outlet. “Did I find myself at Val Kilmer’s house one night at 1 a.m. with [Mean Girls costars] Daniel Franzese and Jonathan Bennett? Did I find myself there with them within the pool? I used to be 18 and I had just moved to LA and we had gone to a screening of Reefer Madness. I used to be at Val Kilmer’s house — I don’t even remember meeting him, but I used to be at his house.”
“My 20s were ridiculous,” she added. “I discovered myself at many places. I also remember there was a time I could have done cocaine for the primary time on the Chateau [Marmont], and I didn’t because I used to be scared. And so there was a limit to how much partying I used to be going to do, because I only desired to be so drunk that I could [still] get myself home.”
Now that she’s older, Seyfried lives on a farm within the Hudson Valley in Recent York state with husband Thomas Sadoski and their two children: daughter Nina, 9, and son Thomas, 5.
“I all the time wanted a bucolic life. I all the time desired to have a farm. I used to be all the time trying to find an out,” she told GQ of escaping big-city life.
The farm is a few two-hour drive from Manhattan and “unreachable by design,” based on the magazine.
“Nobody would know there was a farm on this road,” Seyfried said. “That is private; there’s woods; I feel so protected.”
