Mean Girls stars Jonathan Bennett and Daniel Franzese reunite to honour October 3rd quote

Mean Girls stars Jonathan Bennett and Daniel Franzese reunited to honour the annual day that's celebrated by fans of the beloved film.

Jonathan, 41, and pal Daniel, 44, are best known for having played Aaron Samuels and Damian Leigh respectively in the teen comedy film, which was released back in 2004.

They have reunited for a Pride inspired post marking Mean Girls Day - which is celebrated on October 3 each year in reference to an iconic line spoken by Cady Heron ( Lindsay Lohan ) in it.

The caption references the scene in the iconic film in which Jonathan's character Aaron asks lead character Cady what day it is - to which she responds that it's October 3.

The actors took to Instagram earlier with a joint post, which showed the pair posing together in New York City and referenced the scene in which the date is mentioned.

Jonathan who played Lindsay Lohan's crush in the film, rocked a navy shirt in the three photos, whilst former co-star Daniel wore a plaid shirt over a black T-shirt, with a bright camouflage cap.

The pair kissed each other's cheeks in two of the photos, which were shared on their respective Instagram accounts this afternoon to mark Mean Girls Day.

The two actors - who are both members of the LGBTQ+ community - captioned the post: "What gay is it?" They included #pride and a rainbow emoji alongside it.

Jonathan - who got married to TV presenter Jaymes Vaughan, 39, earlier this year - also took to the platform to share another post in honour of Mean Girls Day.

"Since today is October 3 and everyone is going to pretty much ask me to say the same things today, I figured let's just do them all now," he said in a video shared earlier.

He proceeded to recite iconic lines and references from the film - which has developed a cult following - like saying that his hair "looks sexy pushed back" and "grool". (sic).

He concluded: "Thank you to all the Mean Girls fans for being so supportive over the years. We love you so much. We appreciate you. You can go shave your back now!"
