Amanda Seyfried skyrocketed to fame in the mid-2000s with roles in “Mean Girls” and “Veronica Mars,” but she sure regrets her early roles.
Now 36 years old, the actress recalled the start of her career, calling out one uncomfortable incident in which she was naked on set as a teen.
“Being 19, walking around without my underwear on – like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?” Seyfried told Porter magazine without divulging which role it was.
“Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn’t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That’s why.”
However, the “Mamma Mia” star said she emerged from Hollywood’s pre-#MeToo time “pretty unscathed.”
The actress, who got her start on “All My Children” and “As the World Turns,” also got candid with Marie Claire in May about the creepy interactions she had with male fans after “Mean Girls” premiered in 2004.
Her character, Karen Smith, famously believed that she could predict the weather by holding up her breasts, an anecdote Seyfried said men would use as a pickup line.
“I always felt really grossed out by that,” Seyfried noted. “I was like 18 years old. It was just gross.”
She also recounted the early fear of being typecast as the “the pretty blonde” character — however, her worries were avoided when she scored the role of Sarah Henrickson in the 2006 HBO drama “Big Love.”
“I remember for one movie — I can’t say the name — it was between me and some model for a kind of ancillary character,” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Oh God, it doesn’t matter who it is! And if it doesn’t matter, I don’t know if I want to be a part of it.’ But at the same time, I wanted to work, and I wanted to work with the actors involved.”
“Luckily, I then had opportunities that went a different way pretty quickly, and I’m grateful for that,” Seyfried added.
Now, she’s finally feeling respected after two decades in showbiz, telling Porter it’s all thanks to getting older.
“There’s a respect level that I have never felt so fully around me,” she said. “It has nothing to do with any level of fame or recognition or critical acclaim. Whatever it is, it’s not because of ‘Mank,’ it’s not because of ‘The Dropout,’ it’s not about having seen my movies. I’m respected because I’m 36 years old and I know who the f–k I am.”

Amanda Seyfried admitted that she felt uncomfortable filming nude scenes when she was 19, but felt she had to do it to "keep my job."
Seyfried started off her acting career when she was 15 on soap operas before moving on to teen hits like "Mean Girls" and "Veronica Mars."
During an interview with Porter magazine , Seyfried recalled her early years in acting and said she wished she was starting out now because intimacy coordinators are more common and actors can speak up about being uncomfortable about scenes.
"Being 19, walking around without my underwear on – like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?" Seyfried said. "Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn't want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That's why."
She added that she came out of the pre-#MeToo era "pretty unscathed."
Intimacy coordinators – professionals who help choreograph intimate scenes between actors — have only become commonplace on some film sets in recent years. Several actors have recently spoken up about the change and how it has made them more comfortable filming sex scenes or nudity.
"Outlander" star Sam Heughan and "Tomb Raider" star Alicia Vikander spoke earlier this year that they didn't feel "supported" or "protected" when filming sex scenes without coordinators.
Earlier this week, "Game of Thrones" star Sean Bean told the UK's Sunday Times that intimacy coordinators "spoil the spontaneity" on a set during sex scenes.
"It would inhibit me more because it's drawing attention to things," Bean said. "Somebody saying, 'Do this, put your hands there, while you touch his thing...' I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise."
"West Side Story" star Rachel Zegler , "The Good Place" actor Jameela Jamil, and even Bean's "Snowpiercer" costar Lena Hall responded to Bean's comments, defending the use of intimacy coordinators.
Hall, who was mentioned by Bean in the Sunday Times interview as someone who was "up for anything" due to her theater experience, clarified on Twitter that she felt "comfortable" around Bean but she had no issue asking for an intimacy coordinator if she ever felt "weird, gross, over exposed etc."
"Just because I am in theater (not cabaret, but I do perform them every once in a while) does not mean that I am up for anything," Hall wrote. "Seriously does depend on the other actor, the scene we are about to do, the director, and whatever crew has to be in there to film it."
The actor continued: "I do feel that intimacy coordinators are a welcome addition to the set and think they could also help with the trauma experienced in other scenes."
Amanda Seyfried recalled being put in uncomfortable positions when she was first starting out as an actress.
Seyfried, who has been nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of disgraced entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes, was discussing the progression of her career in a wide-ranging interview with Porter .
She said she now enjoys "a respect level that I have never felt so fully around me" and that is not down to her achievements but her age -- 36.
The "Mamma Mia" star then recalled how she had emerged "pretty unscathed" from her early days in acting, despite having been put in some difficult situations.
Seyfried said: "Being 19, walking around without my underwear on -- like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?
"Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn't want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That's why."
Her comments come as numerous actresses are lining up to defend the role of on-set intimacy coordinators after actor Sean Bean criticized them in a recent interview.
Among them is Rachel Zegler , who played Maria in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" last year.
Bean, whose many credits include that of the ill-fated "Game of Thrones" patriarch Ned Stark, was asked by British newspaper the Times how one of his earliest roles -- in the BBC's 1993 version of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" -- might have differed had intimacy coordinators been involved.
Rachel Zegler, star of "West Side Story," is in favor of intimacy coordinators on set.
"It would spoil the spontaneity," he said, later adding: "I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise."
The interview was picked up by numerous media outlets including Variety, which tweeted out its version. It was to this that Zegler responded , saying: "intimacy coordinators establish an environment of safety for actors. i was extremely grateful for the one we had on WSS— they showed grace to a newcomer like myself + educated those around me who've had years of experience. spontaneity in intimate scenes can be unsafe. wake up."
Jameela Jamil, who plays the villain in Marvel's upcoming "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" TV series, responded to Bean's comment on love scenes being a "technical exercise" by saying: "It should only be technical. It's like a stunt. Our job as actors is to make it not look technical. Nobody wants an impromptu grope..."
In the same interview, Bean referenced TV show "Snowpiercer," in which he and actress Lena Hall were involved in a suggestive scene. When it was suggested to him that intimacy coordinators are there to protect actresses in the wake of #MeToo, he replied: "I suppose it depends on the actress. This one had a musical cabaret background, so she was up for anything."
Following publication of the article, Hall herself posted a lengthy thread of Tweets in response. She wrote: "I probably need to clarify some information in this random article since people are reaching out to me like 'girl, are you ok?'"
"Just because I am in theater (not cabaret, but I do perform them every once in a while) does not mean that I am up for anything."
Lena Hall stars alongside Sean Bean in "Snowpiercer."
She went on to explain the circumstances of their scene and said she would not hesitate to ask for a coordinator if the situation required it.
"I do feel that intimacy coordinators are a welcome addition to the set and think they could also help with the trauma experienced in other scenes. Sometimes you need em sometimes you don't but every single person and scene and experience is different," she wrote.
CNN has reached out to Sean Bean's representatives for further comment.

The rise of intimacy coordinators has led to a sea change in Hollywood, particularly as the entertainment industry navigates the COVID era . But this practice is still relatively new—as evidenced by a recent interview with Amanda Seyfried, who told Porter magazine that she wishes intimacy coordinators had been the norm on sets when she was an up-and-coming actor.
Seyfried, Emmy-nominated for her role in Hulu’s The Dropout , said that while she was left “pretty unscathed” from her start in the industry, at least one experience didn’t sit right with her. “Being 19, walking around without my underwear on–like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?” Seyfried said. “Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn’t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That’s why.”
Seyfried’s comments came the same week that Sean Bean spoke out against the use of intimacy coordinators, telling the U.K.’s The Times that they “spoil the spontaneity” of a scene. Bean, who’s starred in shows including Game of Thrones and Snowpiercer, said he believes that “the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise.”
Lena Hall, who filmed intimate scenes with Bean for Snowpiercer, responded by tweeting , “If I feel comfortable with my scene partner and with others in the room then I won’t need an intimacy coordinator. BUT if there is any part of me that is feeling weird, gross, over exposed etc… I will either challenge the necessity of the scene or I’ll want an IC.”
West Side Story ’s Rachel Zegler also criticized Bean’s take on Twitter , writing, “intimacy coordinators establish an environment of safety for actors. i was extremely grateful for the one we had on WSS — they showed grace to a newcomer like myself + educated those around me who’ve had years of experience. spontaneity in intimate scenes can be unsafe. wake up.”
