The Mean Girls musical remake brings back the drama of high school dating, even the infamous Regina George cheating scene – but fans are wondering who plays the man she cheats with, Shane Oman?
Remember the iconic scene inMean Girlswhere Cady finally gets the upper hand to ruin Regina’s relationship with Aaron? After Gretchen is convinced that Regina hates her, she begins to spill all her secrets to Cady. One of them is that Regina cheats on Aaron every Thursday in the projection room with Shane Oman.
While fans relished seeing the scene once again, they went ga-ga over the actor playing Shane Oman thanks to the one small snippet of the scene they got. The question is: Who plays Shane Oman?
Who’s the actor playing Shane Oman?
Unlike the original, the cheating scene plays out a bit differently. But its one of the reasons why fans have thirsted over Altemus ever since. In Mean Girls, Shane and Regina are in the projection room before Aaron arrives. But as they are about to get caught, Regina hides and pushes an underwear-clad Shane away into clear view.
Anothersaid, “my review of the new mean girls movie is that shane oman is exponentially hotter than aaron samuels.”
Altemus is relatively new to the acting scene and is 26 years old. He started out as a rowdy student in Never Rarely Sometimes Always before playing Luke Friedman in Grand Army. In The Time Traveler’s Wife, he played the role of Young Henry DeTamble.
He also played Tyler Marchand in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin from HBO Max. Before Mean Girls, he played Tryo Taylor in Amazon Prime Video’s Harlan Coben’s Shelter.
