Story summary

Amanda Seyfried, a 40-year-old actress known for roles in "Mamma Mia!" and other films, revealed at the Hamptons International Film Festival in East Hampton, New York, on October 4, that she turned down a television show due to its requirement of frequent sex scenes. Speaking with Alec Baldwin during a panel discussion, Seyfried stated, “I passed on a show where I would have to have sex all the time because of the sex.” She added, "I’m uncomfortable with it. I’m not into it right now." Seyfried explained that her attitude towards such scenes has evolved since she began her career; previously, she viewed them as just another part of her job, but now, with children aged 9 and 6, she finds the idea of being naked with a stranger uncomfortable and even weird.
