Lindsay Lohan was paid half a million for Mean Girls cameo

Lindsay Lohan was paid half a million for Mean Girls cameo. She acted as Cady Heron in the original Mean Girls.

Other casts Lacey Chabert, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried were asked to do the cameos but they had busy schedules.

Tina Fey told New York Times the reason why Lindsay was the only one in the cameo,  “They’re busy people, so it didn’t come together. But we tried, and we all love each other.”
