What Amanda Seyfried Says On Being Cast as a Mother
During the press conference, Amanda Seyfried shared her thoughts on being cast as a mother, remarking, “It seems like once I popped out a baby, I was just playing mothers.” Nevertheless, she expressed that her roles have “become way richer.”
When asked about her connection to her character, she empathized with Jeanine’s maternal struggles.
The Art of Racing in the Rain star elaborated, per Variety, “In my career, it’s still a bit new to play a mother. It seems like once I popped out a baby, I was just playing mothers, and that’s Hollywood for you.

She further delved into Jeanine’s complexities, stating, “I felt like Jeanine, specifically as a mother, trying to figure out where she stands in her life as a parent and as a wife who is so on the precipice of separating from her husband — she’s kind of hanging on a thread everywhere and not being taken as seriously as she’d like to in her career, just wanting more.”
Reflecting on her process, Seyfried noted, “With every really good script and really fleshed-out character, I always am able to reflect on my own life. That’s just a side effect of my job, which I kind of love.”
She emphasized the humanity of Jeanine, acknowledging her imperfections, saying, “She’s dealing with things as they come, and she’s not a perfect person. I loved showing sides of her that weren’t attractive. I think that’s really necessary in any story because none of us are perfect.”
