Amanda Seyfried<\/a> felt “so liberated” while making The Housemaid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Amanda Seyfried loved shooting the thriller<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old actress starred alongside Sydney Sweeney in the hit mystery-thriller film, and Amanda admits that she relished the experience of playing an unhinged housewife in the movie.<\/p>\n
The blonde beauty told W Magazine: “I star opposite Sydney Sweeney, and we have the same shoe size, are the same height, and we giggle the same way.<\/p>\n
“It was so crazy\u2014in some ways, that film is like Black Swan or Single White Female, but funny. I got to play so hard. <\/p>\n
“The director, Paul Feig, would give me the strangest directions. He\u2019d say, ‘Okay, make [Sydney] think you\u2019re going to kiss her!’ I felt so liberated.”<\/p>\n
\nAmanda previously heaped praised on Sydney, describing her co-star as a “sweetheart”.<\/p>\n
\nShe told Vanity Fair: “I don\u2019t envy anything she\u2019s going through.<\/p>\n
\n“I\u2019ve spent a lot of time with her; we just hit it off immediately. She\u2019s a sweetheart. She\u2019s a very generous, kind person at her core. I have to be honest: I did not have a moment like she\u2019s having ever.<\/p>\n
\n“[My Mean Girls costar] Lindsay Lohan, we\u2019re buddies, and it\u2019s really, really, really harmful to people to have that kind of overnight spotlight. Because any press, good or bad, is still a blinding spotlight, and you have to maneuver and negotiate your way around it and outside of it. It\u2019s acrobatics that I don\u2019t think most people are capable of figuring it out at that age.”<\/p>\n
\nAmanda observed that a sudden rise to stardom can be “dangerous”. However, the actress praised Sydney for how she’s coped with the extra attention.<\/p>\n
\nAmanda said: “It\u2019s just dangerous, because when you have people s******* on you\u2014or idolising you and following you around\u2014it can\u2019t be good for your psyche. It can\u2019t make you feel safe in the world.<\/p>\n
\n“But I actually admire the way Syd shows up for work. She always has a smile on her face, even if she\u2019s miserable. I hope it doesn\u2019t change. I hope she doesn\u2019t harden. I just want to keep watching her work.”<\/p>\n
