Rachel McAdams reveals she wasn't excited about the 'Mean Girls' Walmart commercial

Regina George, recognized as the Queen Bee and the original leader of the now-dissolved 'Plastics,' remains one of McAdams' most memorable roles, quickly winning over the hearts of fans.

In early November, a Black Friday Walmart commercial featured a reunion of original 'Mean Girls' cast members Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert, but McAdams was notably absent.

During an interview with Variety, McAdams explained her decision not to participate in the Walmart commercial for 'Mean Girls.'

She candidly shared, "I don’t know; I guess I wasn’t that excited about doing a commercial if I’m being totally honest. A movie sounded awesome, but I’ve never done commercials, and it just didn’t feel like my bag."
