Amanda Seyfried Rejects TV Role Over Uncomfortable Demand: 'I Don't Wanna Do It'

She said she is more comfortable saying no now and wants to protect her children from pressure on set and in public.

  • On October 4, Amanda Seyfried revealed at the Hamptons International Film Festival that she "passed" on a new series because of frequent sex scenes, citing discomfort with being naked with strangers.
  • Seyfried explained that her approach to on-screen intimacy has evolved as she aged, admitting she now finds such scenes "weirder" compared to earlier in her career when they felt fun.
  • In Manhattan, she recently declined photo requests from strangers while walking with daughter Nina, who later told her, "I'm so proud of you for saying no."
  • Motherhood has influenced Seyfried to set stricter boundaries to avoid being a "pushover" while her children observe her professional choices, a priority when she is with them.
  • Professionally, Seyfried stars in "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd," directed by Tim Blake Nelson, which premiered at Toronto and the Hamptons alongside Scoot McNairy but lacks a theatrical release date.
