Amanda Seyfried has revealed that she passed on a television project because it would have required frequent sex scenes, saying she did not want to be 'naked with a stranger'. The actor made the comments during a conversation at the Hamptons International Film Festival in East Hampton, New York, on 4 October 2026.
For context, Seyfried was speaking to Alec Baldwin, who moderated the festival discussion about her career. Seyfried, 40, said her feelings about on-screen intimacy had changed over time. She also explained how becoming a mother had influenced her approach to setting personal boundaries.
