He went on to suggest, “Let’s do an animated series. Let’s do a dramatic version of it.
“I’m willing to do whatever they want to do with the franchise, whenever they want.”
Daniel reprized his role as Damian in the 2023 Walmart Black Friday Deals commercial alongside his former Mean Girls co-stars.
Since his prominent role, Daniel has worked with the Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation to help raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.
Speaking to The US Sun, he recalled his experience lobbying for HIV/AIDS awareness in Florida.
“I was in those offices and I saw all their faces light up because I’m in Mean Girls,” he revealed.
“And suddenly they were paying attention and taking note of everything my fellow activists were saying, who were living their lives with HIV, who weren’t going to have the same reaction as others. [the congressmen] or the same attitude, who wouldn’t take a selfie with all of them and remember it for the rest of their life.”
Over the years, Daniel has also partnered with Glaad, an LGBTQ advocacy nonprofit.
