As a retrospective, Amanda Seyfried, known for her iconic roles in hit movies like the musical sensation “Mamma Mia!”

and the teen favorite “Mean Girls,” has opened up about her early career choices, including participating in projects that she now views with mixed feelings.

During her formative years, Seyfried graced the screens of soap operas such as As the World Turns and All My Children, where she found herself in situations that required her to film n^de scenes.

Looking back, she expressed regret over her decisions, recognizing that she should have been more cautious but attributing her actions to youthful naivety and the fear of jeopardizing her position.

Reflecting on those moments, Seyfried candidly remarked, “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.”

Now a mother of two and happily married to actor Thomas Sadoski, Seyfried also shared reservations about one of her most recognizable characters, Karen Smith from “Mean Girls.”

In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Seyfried conveyed her discomfort regarding the infamous scene where Karen humorously claims she can forecast the weather with her chest.

The actress admitted feeling repulsed when men would recite the line, emphasizing that she was merely 18 years old at the time and found the experience distasteful.

Nonetheless, Seyfried acknowledged the positive aspects of her early career, recognizing that she emerged from the pre-#MeToo era relatively unscathed.

She expressed gratitude for navigating those challenges successfully, as detailed in her conversation with Porter magazine.
