    I will never not love the 2000s.

    Well, after recently realizing some people are just now finding out Rachel McAdams played Regina George in Mean Girls, I found myself in a Rachel McAdams blast from the past on Getty Images...

    "I was today years old when I found out Regina George is Rachel McAdams"

    1. And, in nearly every photo she was in, so was Ryan Gosling.

    2. That's when I realized there was a two-year period where Ryan and Rachel dated after The Notebook came out in 2004 — despite reports saying they hated working together.

    3. And although they are both happily married now — Ryan to fellow actor Eva Mendes and Rachel to screenwriter Jamie Linden — they were a cute lil' couple back then.

    4. In 2005, Rachel was 27 years old, and Ryan was 25 — and they dated throughout Rachel's pink-hair look:

    5. As well as Ryan's mustache and slick-back look.

    17. And although Ryan reportedly said "showbiz" is what ultimately broke them up in 2007, I am so happy I found this little gem in time and that they are both happy with their respective partners now. Bye!
