#never fail

I saw that post, anon, and had to laugh. Someone added the quote from Renée and Chumps being Chumps, didn't even think twice before congratulating Mama and Papa Chalamet for raising "2 for 2" (as in queer children). There are no words for that level of stupidity.

Reneé, the youngest of the cast members, also had to get real when bringing her character, Leighton, to life. Reneé casually landed the role of Regina George in Mean Girls on Broadway as her first job in pursuit of a music career, but she admits giving dimension to Leighton felt even harder than stepping into an already established character, like “coming out all over again.”

“I thought that playing a queer character as a queer woman would be so exciting and the most honest and easy part of the job because I’m like, ‘Okay, well, that’s just me,’” she explains. “I came out years ago. I’ve been a ‘young adult’ for a minute. I know what this life is. But it was so hard. It was so hard.”
