“Mamma Mia’ actress Amanda Seyfried for Net-a-Porter’s The Edit Magazine photographed by Ward Ivan Rafik and styled by Maya Zepinic.
On working with Meryl Streep: “You expect her to be super-confident, but she gets nervous, too!” And she reunited with Meryl Streep after 10 years. “It’s crazy, because I was a kid back then, so Meryl was more maternal. But now I have a kid, so we relate as moms.”
On being diagnosed with OCD: “[My] whole life changed. It was so empowering. At first, my publicist said, ‘Don’t talk about your anxiety.’ And I thought, f**k you, actually. I want kids who are having weird thoughts to share them without stigma. And if that affects my career, so be it.”
On not having a weeding ceremony: “I get married all the time. I was in a wedding dress last week!” [She’s been shooting The Art of Racing in the Rain, based on the 2008 bestseller, in Vancouver.] “I also go to premieres where people take my picture. I just don’t care about all that stuff.”
On the Weinstein scandal: “You start thinking of all the guys with reputations, like, is he next?” says the actress. “I was lucky. I didn’t deal with anything that my peers did. People have been s****y, but I’m pretty good at deflecting.”
