"She's going to be incredible," Seyfried told Entertainment Tonight at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards. "I'm looking forward to seeing you, baby! Keep the legacy alive."
During an interview with ET at the Mean Girls premiere on January 9, Avantika had a heartwarming response to Seyfried's words of support.
"She's so special, I really admire her a lot," she raved. "She's one of my all-time favorite actresses. I really love Karen from Mean Girls and it means a lot to hear her praise. As a young actor taking on an iconic franchise, there is always some level of self-doubt. It's really special and reassuring to hear that from her."
Seyfried is not the only original cast member showing support for the new generation of plastics. Lindsay Lohan, who played the lead role of Cady Heron, attended the movie's premiere and posed with Tina Fey, who reprised her role of Ms. Norbury.
