So in probably the biggest robbery of the 21st Century, the directors of Mean Girls The Musical film have revealed they originally wanted Harry Styles to play Glen Coco in the movie. This literally could have been the most iconic cameo in the world and I am devastated it didn’t end up happening. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Mean Girls directors Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. talked about the casting process for the iconic yet minor role.
They said: “Could we ask, like Harry Styles? We were like Harry Styles could be Glen Coco!” “FOUR for you, Glen Coco! You go, Glen Coco” Glen Coco is just a student at North Shore High in the film and only has one small but iconic scene. In the original Mean Girls movie, Damian dresses up as Father Christmas and delivers candy cane grams to students. The scene is supposed to further the storyline of Cady trying to take down Regina but the line “FOUR for you Glen Coco! You go Glen Coco” ended up being the most memorable line that’s still quoted 20 years later.
