Kevin G “secretly wanted” Aaron Samuels, says Mean Girls star 

Mean Girls star Rajiv Surendra says his character, rap icon Kevin Gnapoor, “secretly wanted” Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett).

In an interview with PEOPLE, the actor reflected on the teen film’s enduring legacy and impact on popular culture for its 20th anniversary, as well as his thoughts on Kevin G’s romantic prospects.

Although he shares a dance with Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan) at the Spring Fling and a flashforward seemingly confirms a relationship between the two, Surendra thinks Kevin G “secretly wanted Aaron Samuels, but he wasn’t allowed to say”.

“And today, he would be allowed to reveal his feelings for Aaron Samuels, and then Aaron Samuels was also secretly gay.”

Following Mean Girls’ release in 2004, Surendra and two of his co-stars came out as gay: Bennett and Daniel Franseze, who played Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) and Janis’ friend Damian Leigh.

“They reach out,” Surendra says, before adding that “every time we’re together that comes up. Like, we just make jokes about it. We’re like, ‘Oh, we’re all gay.’”

He continued: “I’ve seen Lindsay a time, it feels like a family. I think that it feels like a family because the movie has never been forgotten.

“It’s like, over the years, it’s gotten bigger and bigger and bigger and the public’s response all these years has always been positive and warm.”

Also starring Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, Ana Gasteyer, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, Mean Girls is regarded as a camp cult classic, as well as one of the most quotable films in history.

A Broadway musical later premiered in 2018, which received a film adaptation earlier this year with Renee Rapp as Regina George, Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Auli’i Cravalho as Janis Ian and Christopher Briney as Aaron Samuels.

While a direct sequel to the OG film has yet to materialise, a Black Friday Walmart ad recently reunited Lohan and Franzese with Chabert and Seyfried, who respectively portrayed Gretchen Weiners and Karen Smith.
