It\u2019s funny, relationships, friendships, they always evolve. It\u2019s just so crazy that as we get older, you just want to be kind if you can. Especially if you had a friendship like that, I think it\u2019s amazing, and I feel really lucky.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Amanda previously heaped praise on Sydney Sweeney, describing her co-star in The Housemaid as a &#8220;sweetheart&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress praised Sydney, 29, for how she&#8217;s coped with the pressures of fame and success.<\/p>\n<p>\nAmanda told Vanity Fair: &#8220;I don\u2019t envy anything she\u2019s going through. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;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<p>\n&#8220;[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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAmanda thinks a sudden rise to stardom can actually be &#8220;dangerous&#8221;. However, the actress praised Sydney for how she&#8217;s coped with the extra attention.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/amanda-seyfried-familial-bond-mamma-mia-star-1451909.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 October 2026 Amanda Seyfried has a &#8220;familial&#8221; bond with Dominic Cooper.
