AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande teamed up with "Mean Girls" star Jonathan Bennett for her new music video.
The singer, 25, is honouring her favourite movies in the video for her latest single, "Thank U, Next", and Bennett, who played Aaron Samuels in the teen movie, shared a snap from behind-the-scenes on Instagram.
Grande is dressed as Rachel McAdams' "Mean Girls" character, Regina George, and the singer and Bennett are posing in a high school hallway. "Aaron (loves) Regina. Thank U, Next," he jokingly captioned the snap.
"That's CRAZY......why would I break up with u? Ur so hot," the "God Is a Woman" hitmaker commented, quoting a line from the iconic 2004 film.
"So you agree?? You think I'm really hot?" Bennett wrote back.
Grande also shared a series of other pictures from the music video with a trio of women posing as Regina's friends, called the "Plastics". Alexa Luria is posing as Amanda Seyfried's character Karen Smith, Courtney Chipolone is impersonating Gretchen Wieners – originally played by Lacey Chabert – and Elizabeth Gillies as Cady Heron, a role made famous by Lindsay Lohan.
Ariana also has Jennifer Coolidge making an appearance in the "Thank U, Next" video, as her Legally Blonde character, Paulette. The 2001 comedy, starring Reese Witherspoon, is also being featured in the music video, along with "Mean Girls", "13 Going on 30" and "Bring It On".
It's not yet known if Jennifer Garner, who starred in "13 Going On 30", is going to feature in Grande's music video.
The singer recently posted a black-and-white snap of the rival cheerleading squad, the East Compton Clovers, from the movie "Bring It On", on Instagram, and wrote: "east compton (c)lovers, thank u, next".
