In a recent interview with Porter, Amanda Seyfried, known for her roles in various TV shows and movies including Mean Girls, candidly discussed the challenges she faced when shooting n^de scenes early in her career.

The Emmy-nominated actor expressed regret over being pressured into such situations at a young age and highlighted the lack of support systems like intimacy coordinators that are now more prevalent in the industry.

Recalling her past experiences, Seyfried reflected on a time when she was just 19 years old and found herself in uncomfortable positions on set.

She questioned her decision to go along with such demands, admitting, “Being 19, walking around without my underwear on – like, are you kidding me?

How did I let that happen?

Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn’t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job.

That’s why.”

Before gaining fame in films like Mean Girls, Seyfried began her acting journey in soap operas such as As the World Turns and All My Children.

She then transitioned to more prominent roles, like Lilly Kane in Veronica Mars.

However, she has been vocal about feeling uneasy during certain scenes, such as those in Mean Girls where her character’s body was objectified for comedic purposes.

Discussing the discomfort she felt during early roles, Seyfried shared her displeasure with how some scenes were portrayed.

In a previous interview with Marie Claire, she expressed feeling “grossed out” by the objectification she faced as a young actor.

Specifically, she mentioned instances where male colleagues made inappropriate comments related to her character’s physical attributes.

The conversation surrounding intimate scenes in the entertainment industry has gained momentum recently, with actors like Sean Bean expressing skepticism about the role of intimacy coordinators.

Bean suggested that such professionals might hinder the natural flow of romantic scenes by making them overly technical, emphasizing the importance of spontaneity.

However, not everyone shares Bean’s perspective on the matter.

Rachel Zegler, known for her role in West Side Story, countered Bean’s argument by highlighting the potential risks associated with unregulated intimate scenes.

Zegler emphasized the need for boundaries and safety protocols to ensure that actors feel comfortable and respected during such vulnerable moments.
