Reneé Rapp's Hilarious Prank Calls Are a Masterclass in Acting

Reneé Rapp: A hilarious talent in prank calls and standout actress

Have we overlooked just how amazing Reneé Rapp truly shines as an actress? She's not just another face in Hollywood; she's a real powerhouse. Known widely as Regina George in "Mean Girls," both on Broadway and in its upcoming 2024 film adaptation, Reneé has once again wowed us all with her boundlessly entertaining skills. Her recent gigs on Elle's "Phoning It In" series are downright hilarious, further proving her knack not just on stage but in any setting.

At just 25, Reneé already impresses with her music hits like "Leave Me Alone" and "Not My Fault." She joined Elle's series where celebs prank call their friends, and her episodes? Instant classics. Her knack at convincing even her closest friends with off-the-wall stories shows she can bring any character, no matter how outrageous, fully alive.

King (or Queen) prankster skills

One episode that really stood out? Reneé phoned Jake Shane, a social media star, dropping a bombshell about being "pregnant." Although Jake's no stranger on Elle's prank show, Reneé's devoted acting caught him off guard. "I'm pregnant," she told him, leaving him momentarily speechles.

She spun a wild yarn about a secret romantic fling and fallout with her girlfriend, Towa Bird. As Shane tried his best detective consoling, caught right up in her web, Reneé finally came out with it, and Shane's reaction was unforgettable. "You sold it! You just gave me a heart attack!" he laughed, still in shock.

Performances that deserve applause

Reneé didn't just stop there. She turned things up a notch with a prank on her actual girlfriend, Towa Bird, pretending she was held by police after an alleged fight. As her frantic tale grew more intense, Bird, who was driving at that moment, did her best not only as a partner but a co-star, encouraging calm. The charade reached a high when Reneé started faking conversations with make-believe cops. When she fessed up, Bird couldn't help but burst out, "What in God's name's wrong with you," despite herself.

The scene wrapped up with Reneé pleading, "Please don't be mad, I love you so much," and Bird's playful retort, "I'm going after you and Elle, too." Their chemistry was a show-stealer, confirming Reneé's spectacular talent: "You acted your ass off," Bird confirmed.

From Broadway sensation turned YouTube jokester

Reneé's genius doesn't just fool her friends: she took on "Saturday Night Live"'s Bowen Yang, weaving a tale about accidentally hitting SNL head Lorne Michaels with her car—yikes! Yang, always compassionate, assured her that "nothing bad's going down." When Reneé dropped it was all pretend, Yang was left floored.

Fans can't stop raving about her performance. One viewer demanded, "Hand her an Oscar now, this was everything," while another was in awe over how quickly she switched roles: "She's crazy talented." Comments poured in from those surprised by Reneé's acting chops, but one fan set them straight, "People shocked she can act, as if being a BROADWAY STAR wasn't clue enough."
