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.
