Here is a sneak preview of American Elle Magazine April cover story and photos by top fashion photographer Alexei Hay with the ‘Red Riding Hood’ star Amanda Seyfried.
On her outspoken personality: “I talk like I know what I’m saying, but I don’t.â€
On being honest with herself: “I like the freedom of being exactly who I am. And that’s gotten me into trouble.â€
On being told she needed to get botox: “I was like, Damn you! But we’re in Hollywood. I’m on a huge screen. With these new digital cameras, you can see the peach fuzz on my face.â€
On falling in love on set: “[It is] one of the easiest things in the world. You’re both open. You’re put in a situation where you have to make out with each other. It’s easy for things to get carried away.â€
On how she thought her recent ex Dominic Cooper was breaking up with his longtime girlfriend to be with her: “I was just kind of foolishly thinking that the two of them were done and Dom and I were involved. But we weren’t really as involved as I thought. So I got my heart broken pretty hard.â€
On eventually getting back together with Cooper: “…and then it took a long time for us to break up again. After that, it’s really hard to open myself up to a new person. Really hard.â€
On her rumored romance with Ryan Phillippe: “Um, yeah. I’ve been ‘seen’ with him.â€
On Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd: “We dated. He’s superfunny, but I was too involved with Dom.â€
On being inspired by Meryl Streep’s famously down-to-earth attitude: “Meryl, she makes herself very accessible right away, almost too accessible. That’s what I do. And it totally works. My thing about meeting people—men, women, people in general—is to desensitize them, kind of shock them a little bit, to make myself accessible.â€
