Stars Who Almost Appeared in 'Mean Girls' & the Roles They Auditioned For

James Franco could have played Aaron Samuels…

Jonathan Bennett is perfect as Aaron Samuels, the dreamboat and love interest in the movie. However, Lindsay could have been telling James Franco that he looked sexy with his hair pushed back.

“Lindsay recently told me that… James Franco was considered for the role of Aaron Samuels,” Daniel told Cosmopolitan back in 2014. “I thought that was so cool.”

Tina has previously revealed that the first choice to play Aaron was fired, leading Jonathan to be brought in at the last minute (via Independent).
