Amanda Seyfried's Bold Move: Turning Down Roles with Intense Sex Scenes

Amanda Seyfried is opening up about her evolving feelings toward projects with intimate scenes.

“Our jobs are weird,” Seyfried, 40, said during a recent panel hosted by Alec Baldwin at the Hamptons International Film Festival in East Hampton, New York. “And as I get older, it gets weirder. We have to be romantic with people that we’re not romantic with.”

“Sometimes it’s great. Sometimes it’s really uncomfortable. But I can’t believe back in the day, I was just like, ‘We gotta make out. Great! This is awesome. I know how to make out,’” she quipped. “And it used to be so fun. It was a non-thing. It was like, ‘I get to make out with a hot person today … and they’re paying me.’”
