“I don't know, I think if I'm being completely honest I wasn't particularly excited about doing a commercial,” the 45-year-old actress admitted. A film looked great, but I never promoted it and it just didn't seem to be my thing. Besides… I didn't know everyone did it. Of course I would still love to be at a Mean Girls reunion and have my band back, but yeah, I didn't find out about that until later. »

The “Never Forgotten” actress also told Variety that she may appear in the upcoming musical film “Mean Girls.” “Tina (Fey) and I tried out a few ideas, but in the end it was difficult to implement everything. I was definitely up for anything she wanted to do. I think the direction it's going in is going to be amazing and I can't wait to see it,” added Rachel McAdams.

This new Mean Girls movie, based on the Broadway musical, hits theaters on January 12th.
