Leo Varadkar quoted Mean Girls in his address to the nation this evening, after a famous actor challenged him to do so.
Over the past few months, the Taoiseach has been slipping some famous movie quotes into his speeches – and earlier this month he quoted Samwise Gamgee from Lord Of The Rings.
He said: “So, this afternoon let me end with words of hope. In the end, it’s only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it’ll shine out the clearer.”
RTÉ 2FM then contacted Sean Astin, who played Samwise in the film franchise, and the actor challenged Leo to quote the cult-classic film Mean Girls in his next address.
Although Leo admitted he wasn’t a huge fan of the movie during an interview with Eoghan McDermott and Doireann Garrihy – he went ahead a quoted a line from the film as he updated the nation on Ireland’s road to recovery this evening.
At the end of his address, Leo said: “Some have asked whether there’s a limit to what we can achieve, my answer is that limit does not exist.”
See how people are reacting to Leo quoting Mean Girls on Twitter:
