Seyfried: Sex Scenes Too Uncomfortable Now

Actress Amanda Seyfried recently shared that she declined a television series offer due to its requirement for frequent on-screen intimacy. The 40-year-old star noted that her feelings about portraying romantic scenes have evolved, contrasting her past enthusiasm with current discomfort.

Seyfried explained that while she once found on-screen romance exciting and a professional perk, she now finds it increasingly awkward. This shift in perspective led her to pass on a role specifically because of the extensive sex scenes involved, stating she is "not into it right now."

Becoming a mother has also influenced Seyfried's approach to her career and personal life. She cited her children as a primary motivation for becoming less of a "pushover" and more adept at setting boundaries. Seyfried recalled instances where she declined photo requests from strangers, earning praise from her daughter for asserting herself.

She emphasized that when she is with her children, their experiences take precedence, leading her to prioritize saying "no" to public attention. Seyfried is currently promoting "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd," a film that premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival.
