He's also down for a sequel if Tina Fey is.

The 2004 comedy is forever tied to the names of, Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams, with quotes like ‘You don’t even go here’, ‘That is so fetch’ and ‘Oh my god Danny DeVito I love your work’ woven into our vocab.

But for Daniel Franzese, who played Cady and Janis’s bestie and ‘star on the rise’ Damian, he wasn’t totally on board with being remembered for the film – that is, until a fan changed his mind. Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Daniel said: ‘Initially it did [bother me]. But around the 10 year anniversary, I got a letter from someone, a guy who said that “when I was in eighth grade, I was beat up for being chubby and tortured for being a sissy, and then your movie came out. And on the first day of ninth grade, my freshman year of high school, the senior girls came up to me and said, you’re like Damian, come sit with us.

‘It seems to be that everybody wants a remake but Tina Fey! We need to get her on board. If Tina Fey writes it, everyone will show up – the cast will show up, the audience will show up. So Tina, get on that, we’re all waiting on you.’

What does the Mueller report mean for Trump? The key questions answeredThe special counsel has filed his report on the Trump-Russia investigation. Here’s what we know so far I didn't know what was in the Mueller Report a weeks ago, and waking up this morning I still don't know what's in it. As such, I will wait until it is released to the public before making any conclusions, as all responsible people should do. Stop the speculation. 👍for the effort to the Guardian. Without seeing the report itself... 'sharing polling data with an alleged Russian intelligence asset' was it Facebook? That is so meddling and so collusion. And the only quote is about what Muller was authorized to investigate... No facts. Could the conspiracy theory be dead at last like mrs May's deal?
