Amanda Seyfried has revealed she was wearing a “prosthetic butthole” during her intimate scenes in The Testament of Ann Lee.<\/p>\n
In the period drama, the Mean Girls actress plays Ann Lee, an 18th-century English woman who turned to religion after losing four children and went on to found the Shakers movement.<\/p>\n
For the nude sequences, such as the intimate childbirth scenes, Seyfried has revealed that she wore a “prosthetic butthole” to protect her modesty.<\/p>\n
“This movie, it needed to be graphic, so, like, I had a prosthetic butthole,” she said on BBC Radio 2’s Scott Mills Breakfast Show.<\/p>\n
When asked what the experience was like, Seyfried insisted it was “cool” and “exciting” and added, “I was pregnant and naked, but I wasn’t naked at all.”<\/p>\n
The Oscar-nominated actress then noted that said body part does not actually appear in the movie.<\/p>\n
“You cannot see my butthole in (the film), but I swear there is a prosthetic butthole there,” she shared, to which presenter Mills asked why she needed to wear it if it wasn’t going to be seen.<\/p>\n
“Just in case,” Seyfried replied, before quipping, “Gotta get people to the theatre.”<\/p>\n
The Mamma Mia! actress also pointed out that she wore a murkin – a pubic hair wig – while shooting her nude scene in the movie’s final moments.<\/p>\n
“At the end of the movie, I’m standing in front of a burning building with just a merkin. I felt so free,” Seyfried praised.<\/p>\n
The Testament of Ann Lee, which also stars Lewis Pullman, Thomasin McKenzie and Stacy Martin, will be released in U.K. cinemas on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Seyfried has revealed she was wearing a “prosthetic butthole” during her intimate scenes in The Testament of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":303178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-303177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
