The actresses talk to BAZAAR.com about being the masterminds behind the drama in the new HBO reboot.
Aug 2 2021, 3:20 pm EDTSavannah Smith and Zión Moreno are redefining what it means to be high school mean girls. The actresses play ever-doting minions Monet de Haan and Luna La to Jordan Alexander's Julien Calloway in HBO Max's darker, edgier, and sexier reboot of the beloved teen drama. But don't be fooled by the pair's commitment to their queen bee: Monet and Luna are the true masterminds behind each episode's glorious mounting drama.
"I went to an all-girls private Catholic school in Los Angeles, so you don't have a shortage of mean girls there," Smith tells."I guess it was already kind of inside, but I'm not a mean girl by any means. You just have to imagine someone really different from yourself. But everyone loves to see the mean girl, 'cause they caused the drama and they most often bring the best looks.
Though Moreno describes the practice as a"little bit" cathartic, most of the time she found the process challenging solely because of the close bond she has with the cast."I felt really bad [while acting] to be honest with you. It's hard to be mean to your friends on purpose," Moreno says.
? That was really overwhelming. I didn't think it was gonna have such a buzz around it. And reading the comments and seeing some people were very, very upset [with that first look at the show]—that was a little humbling."part of an entirely newgeneration—eased the anxiety around the public's opinion of the new set of Constance mean girls.
"I tried to not listen to the noise and just tried develop these characters in a very different way," Moreno says."This is a new generation, they are different characters. And as far as the minions go, Luna and Monet are well fleshed-out characters that do not take any—sorry, for lack of a better word—but crap from anybody. Not even Julien. We kind of pull the strings a little bit sometimes, and that's where the power [dynamics are] different.
