Amanda Seyfried On Finding Truth In What She Does

It’s not every star who can boast that they’ve sang karaoke hits with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, broken hearts together with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway, made funny voices with Mark Wahlberg and Tracy Morgan, and won critics across the globe alongside Gary Oldman and Lily Collins. But then again, not every actress has the filmography that Amanda Seyfried has.

Since bursting into the big leagues in Tina Fey’s Mean Girls in 2004 (where she played the role of not-quite-all-there Karen Smith), Seyfried has starred in a rolodex of films that’s bursting at the seams with light-hearted comedies, serious drama, indie hits and cult movies, not to mention rom-coms, soap operas, television series and video shorts. The list is as eclectic as a magpie’s nest and if anything can be garnered from the vast array of projects that bear her name, it is that this ambitious 36-year-old actress doesn’t have to worry about being pigeonholed in roles that might not take her wide-ranging fancy.

Just this year alone, Seyfried has played an alienated art restorer in the Netfl ix horror film Things Seen & Heard and has wrapped up production on The Dropout, where she plays medical tech con artist and fraud Elizabeth Holmes (it’s set to premiere on Hulu in early 2022). And, in a different sort of camerawork, she also starred in a specially commissioned photoshoot, lensed by New York-based photographer Alique, for the 90th anniversary of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso.
