'Mean Girls' Star, Bebe Wood (Gretchen Wieners), plays cast superlatives with the Tina Fey helmed musical. From Reneé Rapps's secret talent, to which cast member takes the longest to text, to why Wood prefers to send a 4-minute voice text rather than a regular one, she spills it all.

00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 Ooh, funniest co-star.
00:05 Ah, this is such a hard question
00:07 because everyone is so funny in their own way.
00:11 Obviously, Tim Meadows is gonna make me cackle.
00:15 Tina Fey is gonna make me cackle.
00:18 Renee is so funny.
00:20 Renee is so, so funny.
00:21 Avantika is so funny.
00:23 Chris is really funny
00:24 'cause he doesn't even realize he's being funny.
00:26 He's just kinda funny in his own little way.
00:30 But I think the person that, yeah,
00:32 who always just makes me laugh is Renee.
00:34 Like, she, oh God, she's just so funny.
00:36 (upbeat music)
00:38 Me.
00:39 I am the only co-star that sends voice memos
00:43 and everyone hates me for it
00:46 because I hate texting, I'd much rather call,
00:49 and so I'm the person who sends four-minute-long voice memos
00:55 that literally no one's going to listen to.
00:57 (upbeat music)
00:59 Well, Avantika's really hit or miss.
01:02 Sometimes she'll respond like that,
01:05 within the instant, or it'll be days, weeks sometimes.
01:10 But also, she's a student at Columbia,
01:14 so she has some things going on, you know?
01:17 - How many unread texts do you have on your phone?
01:19 - This morning when I woke up,
01:20 I had 150 unread text messages on my phone.
01:23 - You're gonna be sending a lot of voice texts today.
01:25 - Yes, I will be sending a lot of voice memos.
01:28 (upbeat music)
01:31 Would definitely be Angourie.
01:34 She's always there, even though most of the time
01:36 she's in Australia, the time difference is not convenient,
01:40 but I'd be like, "Girl, I'm in jail."
01:42 And she'll be like, "I got you."
01:44 Angourie would definitely bail me out.
01:46 (upbeat music)
01:49 Oh, that's crazy.
01:50 Definitely not Renee.
01:52 I think Renee finds things like that amusing,
01:56 but she's such a girl's girl, she would be there like,
01:58 "No, you can't spend the night here.
02:01 "You're coming home."
02:02 A part of me feels like Avantika
02:04 would find something amusing about that.
02:07 Maybe Aulie would find something amusing about that,
02:10 if she knew, obviously everyone would only do this
02:13 if they knew that I was in good hands.
02:15 We're all very close, and we look after each other.
02:17 (upbeat music)
02:21 Oh my God, this is such a hard question
02:23 because literally everyone in this cast
02:26 has such a beautiful, beautiful voice.
02:29 I mean, Aulie, obviously, what an incredible singer.
02:34 So, so incredible.
02:36 Renee, too.
02:37 I mean, they are sort of like beltresses
02:40 in this way that I adore.
02:43 Like, I really can't like, scrub my face off.
02:45 That's not the type of singer that I am.
02:48 So, I would love to experience that.
02:51 (upbeat music)
02:54 Okay, so last night I was literally hanging out
02:56 with Daniel Francese at the Being Girls, you know, premiere.
03:01 It was incredible.
03:03 And he was like, "Literally call me anytime.
03:05 "Like, let's do something together."
03:07 And so I will say him because, I mean, first of all,
03:10 he's absolutely hysterical and so talented
03:12 and literally so sweet.
03:14 I adore him.
03:16 - And what movie would you co-star in together?
03:18 - Maybe like a buddy cop movie without cops.
03:22 I don't know what that even means.
03:24 Like, Thelma and Louise, but like us, you know?
03:27 - Would it have the same ending?
03:28 - I actually have never seen it.
03:30 - Oh.
03:31 - But it's okay, it's okay.
03:32 You didn't spoil anything.
03:33 You didn't spoil anything.
03:34 - Oh, no.
03:34 - I'm kind of crazy. - It's a wonderful ending.
03:36 - I know that that movie is so legendary
03:39 and there's been so many opportunities
03:40 in which like, I probably should have watched it.
03:43 But I know that it's like so iconic
03:46 that it was never the right time.
03:47 It was always like, oh, we're just like hanging out
03:50 with friends and let's just like throw on Thelma and Louise.
03:52 But I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
03:53 Like we kind of have to like make an event of it,
03:55 I feel like.
03:56 (upbeat music)
03:58 Ooh, Jacquel is always singing.
04:03 Rene as well.
04:04 And I think they're always kind of just like doing runs
04:08 and riffs and just like singing.
04:10 Like not even a specific song, but just like singing
04:14 and making beautiful, beautiful noise.
04:16 Apparently Rene and Jacquel's like dressing rooms
04:19 are next to each other.
04:20 And Rene was like, oh my God, just getting to hear Jacquel
04:23 like sing to himself was like amazing.
04:25 They sang through the dressing room walls,
04:28 like at each other, which is really sweet.
04:31 (upbeat music)
04:33 So, okay, I think of Vontica's hidden talent
04:37 is she can touch her thumb to her wrist,
04:39 which is horrifying, but also very Karen.
04:43 Like I feel like Karen can totally do that, you know?
04:48 She showed me the other day and I was like,
04:50 girl, are you okay?
04:51 Like, it looks really painful.
04:52 And her like knuckle cracked, like right as I have it,
04:55 I was like, wow, this is like, this is a lot.
04:57 Can you do that?
04:58 No, I can't even get anywhere near, like what?
05:02 Like, there's no way, there's no way that's happening.
05:06 I know that Rene, I think can say the alphabet backwards
05:10 really, really quickly.
05:12 I think I've seen her do it before,
05:15 but also like so much happened on the set of "Mean Girls,"
05:18 like everything kind of blurs together,
05:20 but I'm almost certain I've seen her do that before.
05:22 And Gowrie is an incredible baker.
05:26 Like she is sort of the mother, I think, of the group.
05:31 She was always like baking us breads
05:35 and baking us cakes and muffins.
05:38 And she would like have us over to her house in New Jersey
05:42 where we shot the movie and we would just like make food.
05:46 She always brought her lunches to set
05:48 and like these really cute little boxes.
05:49 Like she's just like so put together and so cute.
05:51 And like on the weekends she just cooks
05:54 and that's her hidden talent.
05:55 She's like an amazing, amazing chef.
05:58 My hidden talent.
06:00 I make playlists for people.
06:01 I like to prescribe songs to people.
06:05 Like I'm like prescribing medicine to them.
06:07 Like tell me how you feel.
06:09 And they're like, oh, this is how I feel.
06:11 And then I send them a song to like help them
06:13 or match their mood or something like that.
06:16 - You're a DJ.
06:17 - Yeah, I'm a DJ.
06:18 My soul, yeah, I'm a DJ.
06:21 (upbeat music)
