I originally had a different line there. It was “mind your own business, you boomer f—.” And my daughter, Pearl, and her friend, Ava, were both like, ‘No one says boomer anymore.’ They were like, ‘You can’t have her say that.’ So I was like, ‘Well, what would she say to him?’ And they were both like, ‘She would just call him an old f—.’ So because of their note, I changed the line. I give them all the credit,” McKay toldInsider.In the film, Grande, 28, plays character Riley Bina, a pop star.
