Meanwhile, the actress recently opened up about being cast as the iconic bad girl, Regina George, telling PEOPLE earlier this month that she found some good qualities in the badass character.

“I love that he speaks his mind. I really do,” she said. “A lot of the things this character says aren’t nice, but I think to be manipulative you have to be really intelligent.”
