Amanda Seyfried<\/a> is opening up about one of the more unexpected behind-the-scenes details from her recent film, and it\u2019s definitely turning heads. During a recent radio appearance, the Oscar-nominated actress shared that she wore a prosthetic body piece while filming “The Testament of Ann Lee,” explaining that the historical drama required an unusually raw and vulnerable level of realism. Her candid comments offered fans a glimpse into just how far Amanda Seyfried was willing to go to fully commit to the role.<\/p>\n

While appearing on “The Scott Mills Breakfast Show,”<\/a> Seyfried explained that the nature of the film called for scenes that pushed her comfort zone. \u201cThis movie \u2026 needed to be graphic,\u201d she said, describing how the production approached authenticity. The actress, who portrays real-life Shakers founder Ann Lee, added that although audiences might assume she was completely exposed during filming, that wasn\u2019t actually the case.<\/p>\n

Seyfried also revealed she was pregnant during filming, which added another layer to the experience. \u201cI was pregnant and naked, but I wasn\u2019t naked at all. And at the end of the movie, I\u2019m standing in front of a burning building with just a merkin,\u201d she recalled. Despite the vulnerability of the moment, the “Mamma Mia!” star said the scene left her feeling empowered rather than uncomfortable, explaining that she \u201cfelt so free\u201d while wearing only the artificial hair covering during the dramatic sequence.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the interview, Seyfried clarified the surprising detail that has since gone viral. \u201cYou cannot see my butthole in [the scene], but I swear there is a prosthetic butthole there,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

When host Scott Mills questioned why the production would include it if it wasn\u2019t visible, Seyfried explained it was simply a precaution. The exchange ended on a humorous note, with Mills calling the revelation a \u201cgreat way to end an interview,\u201d prompting Seyfried to laugh and respond, \u201cGotta get people to the theater!\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress has previously spoken about how intimidating the project felt. In a prior interview, she described the film as \u201cf-cking daunting,\u201d explaining her motivation for choosing challenging roles. \u201cI feel like I have to keep choosing things that terrify me, within reason,\u201d she noted. \u201cI\u2019m not gonna jump off a cliff or jump out of an airplane.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Seyfried emphasized that artistic growth comes from fear. \u201cI need to sink my teeth into something that is really scary because I know I can do it, and I know I\u2019ll be better for it,” she said, and her performance clearly resonated with audiences. The film reportedly received a 15-minute standing ovation when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2025, and Seyfried later earned both Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the role.<\/p>\n

While awaiting the 2026 Academy Awards, she reflected on the idea of winning, telling The New Yorker<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019ve gotten this far. \u2026 Would [an Oscar] be great? Of course it would, for every reason. But it isn\u2019t necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of the historical drama, Seyfried is also generating buzz for her recent thriller “The Housemaid,” where she stars opposite Sydney Sweeney<\/a>. Based on the bestselling novel, the film follows Sweeney\u2019s character Millie, a newly hired live-in maid who discovers that her wealthy employers, played by Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, are far from perfect.<\/p>\n

The actresses revealed they formed a close bond while filming. “We related over people experiences,” Seyfried said, who explained she came to “care about” her 28-year-old co-star during production. “It’s easy to support you. I also probably give way too much unsolicited advice, ‘This is what I would do,’ ” she added.<\/p>\n

Sweeney responded warmly, saying, “No, but I appreciate it,” to which Seyfried joked, “I knew she appreciated it, but I was also like, ‘Take it with a grain of salt!'”<\/p>\n

The “Euphoria” star even carries a personal reminder of their friendship, pulling out her phone to reveal a Polaroid photo tucked inside the case. “This is how much you have changed my life this year and I love you,” Sweeney told her. “This is from set. I put it in my phone and I haven’t taken it out.”<\/p>\n

“Oh, I love that. That makes me so happy,” Seyfried replied, adding, “That’s very nice. I’ve got to get you a four-leaf clover now to put back there. There’s so many on my farm.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Testament of Ann Lee” and “The Housemaid” are both currently streaming.<\/p>\n
