Aside from the gender-flipped aspect of He’s All That, this time the popular girl is a teenage social media star played by actual social media star Addison Rae, making this whole thing particularly of the time. Gone are the simple days of your most embarrassing moment being only revealed within your own high school. Now gossip like that is broadcast to the world.
He’s All That is full of new young stars, but a few familiar faces from the original turn up, too. Most notably, Rachael Leigh Cook, who starred as Laney Boggs in She’s All That, plays the main character’s mother this time. But she’s not the only actor who is back for round two. On a completely different note, the movie also features an extremely famous reality star shockingly not playing herself.
Click through the slideshow to check out the She’s All That cast and see which actors they’re taking over for from the original.
Addison Rae Plays Padgett Sawyer
Addison Rae plays the lead character, Padgett Sawyer. Padgett is a high school student, who is famous on social media. Her character is based on Zack played by Freddie Prinze Jr. in She’s All That.

Tanner Buchanan Plays Cameron Kweller
Tanner Buchanan plays the role that corresponds to the part Rachael Leigh Cook played of Laney Boggs. Cameron is the unpopular student, who Padgett decides to give a prom king makeover.
Buchanan is a 22-year-old actor, who is known for the series Designated Survivor and Cobra Kai. He has also appeared on Grey’s Anatomy, Girl Meets World, and The Fosters.Photo: courtesy of Netflix.
Rachael Leigh Cook Plays Anna Sawyer
Rachael Leigh Cook appears in the movie as Padgett’s mom. She is not playing an older version of her character from the first movie, but an entirely new role.
Other than She’s All That, Cook is known for roles in Josie and the Pussycats, The Baby-Sitters Club, and Love, Guaranteed.Photo: courtesy of Netflix.
Peyton Meyer Plays Jordan
Jordan is Padgett’s boyfriend, who she catches cheating on her. In the original, Zack’s girlfriend, Taylor, leaves him for a reality star. Taylor was played by Jodi Lyn O’Keefe.

Myra Molloy Plays Quinn
Another of Padgett’s friends is Quinn, who is portrayed by Myra Molloy. This character would most correspond with the one played by Dulé Hill in the original.

Vanessa Dubasso Plays Aniston
Aniston is the character who Jordan cheats on Padgett with, so this character aligns with one played by Matthew Lillard in the original movie.

Kourtney Kardashian Plays Jessica Miles Torres
Kourtney Kardashian appears in the film as the owner of a company who sponsors Padgett’s social media posts. The reality star’s involvement in the film stems from the fact that she and Rae became unlikely friends, with Rae even appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. This is not Kardashian’s first acting role; she previously appeared on an episode of One Life to Live as a character named Kassandra Kavanaugh.Photo: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images.
Matthew Lillard Plays Principal Bosch
Matthew Lillard played the reality star who Zack’s girlfriend leaves him for in the original movie. Now, like Cook, he’s back in a new role as the principal of the high school.
