Amanda Seyfried talks about the pressure at the age of 19.
Amanda Seyfried discussed her early days in the industry and the pressure she faced as a teenager trying to break into the industry in an interview with Net-a-Porter magazine.
In some aspects, according to Amanda Seyfried, she wants to be stepping up today when intimacy coordinators are present on set to assist the players with a scene or anything else and the performers are free to express their ideas. Although Amanda acknowledged that she escaped the pre-MeToo period somewhat undamaged, she remembered the day when she found herself in an awkward situation.
The actress said that when she was 19 years old, she was forced into a situation where she had to go without her panties and that she allowed it to happen because she did not want to offend anyone and wanted to retain her work. The actress, who was recently nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress for her outstanding performance as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout, has been outspoken about her mental health and supports therapy as she explains that she has found ways to largely protect herself from some of the professional pressures she initially felt.
According to Amanda Seyfried, she is aware that when she meets someone younger and they are turned down for a job or whatever, it temporarily crushes them. She continued by saying that, until it involves her family, nothing about her career could ever truly crush her. The actress said that losing parts she was interested in playing has damaged her professionally. She recently talked about how heartbreaking it was for her to lose the character of Glinda in the upcoming "Wicked" adaption to singer Ariana Grande, but it did not diminish her self-assurance.
Talking about the Emmy nomination, Amanda Seyfried said that it feels great to go viral with something incredible to shoot with and credited the series creator Elizabeth Meriwether, describing her as a genius, and shared that what attracted her to sign up for the role was the fact that the way the story was told was intriguing and added that captivating stories are important to her. Amanda added that with a group of incredible writers, Elizabeth was able to write a perfect series and there has not been one beat that feels like it does not fit, and for the actress, it was very important for the show to feel real and the tone to be correct.
According to Amanda Seyfried, she was taken aback by the nomination at the Emmys 2022 since she spent most of her 20s disliking everything she said and stressing that she might not be able to contribute anything to the acting world. She never sought attention; instead, she worked hard and consistently. She said that she had no expectation of being singled out and that's partially due to her self-deprecating personality. Amanda said it's sort of strange that they are here, nominated, and she was nominated and singled out when she had spent most of her career never being singled out. Never hoping for the best and always anticipating the worst, she just keeps moving forward.
During the interview, Amanda Seyfried said there is a level of respect she has never experienced before, and it has nothing to do with celebrity, notoriety, or critical acclaim. The actress said that whatever the case may be, it has nothing to do with Mank, The Dropout, or have watched any of her films but because she is now 36 years old and is aware of who the fuck she is and she is appreciated. Additionally, Amanda received an Academy Award nomination in 2021 for the biographical film Mank.
Amanda Seyfried shares that she likes to stay at home; she does not always want to keep working and further shared that when she is working, she is having a blast, but when others see her work and want to nominate her for an award, that's when truly awesome stuff happens.
Amanda Seyfried has developed both her confidence and her drive to experiment with her red carpet look. She has been working with stylist Elizabeth Stewart for years, who respects her tastes while encouraging experimentation. Her current off-duty attire, however, consists of denim shorts teamed with shirts in a simple color scheme of black, white, and gray, making it easygoing for the current heatwave. They serve as the setting for her most recent fashion triumph: a sizable tote bag she made herself out of a variety of deep ruby tones.
