Actress Amanda Seyfried reflected back on her budding stardom during Mean Girls and said she experienced "gross" behavior from her male fans.
Amanda Seyfried might've gotten her big break in "Mean Girls," but she wasn't a big fan of the attention she got for *that* weather scene.https://bit.ly/3FBY9uC— POPSUGAR UK (@POPSUGAR UK) 1652347147
In an interview with Marie Claire magazine, the 36-year-old said that around the time of her breakout role in the 2004 teen comedy film written by Tina Fey, male fans who recognized the actress would ask her if it was raining.
The question was in reference to her character, Karen–who claimed she could forecast the weather by holding her breasts.
I mean however many years ago when it came out I would have asked her the same thing not to be gross but because that\u2019s one of her characters most iconic lines other than like cough cough I\u2019m sick or duh I\u2019m a mousepic.twitter.com/bTgt7urEt0— Joe Moon\ud83c\udf19 (@Joe Moon\ud83c\udf19) 1652224694
“I always felt really grossed out by that," she said of her interactions involving the "rain" reference.
"I was like 18 years old. It was just gross.”
What the hell? That is so fucked up.pic.twitter.com/84CCpEuvpd— \u2606\ud835\udcd9\ud835\udcea\ud835\udcf1\ud835\udcf4\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcf6\u2606 (@\u2606\ud835\udcd9\ud835\udcea\ud835\udcf1\ud835\udcf4\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcf6\u2606) 1652220768
Trolls downplayed her genuine response to something that made her feel uncomfortable in the past.
She then followed it up with Lovelace. A movie about giving blowjobs. Literally the perfect role to bounce back from if you\u2019re worried about this type of thing.— John (@John) 1652359525
You're the one who signed up for the roll, 18 is leagl age, and people made jokes about a funny concept. I see this as alienating your fans of that joke. It's a funny joke. Boobs funny cuz they tingle when bad weather comes. Shouldn't have done the roll then— patrick lovie (@patrick lovie) 1652379155
She was an adult, this is a non issue. Moving on— Vitnir (@Vitnir) 1652360641
To which those who felt for Seyfried shut them down.
Wow the comments on this thread are GROSS. She played a role, she is not that character. Why do so many men feel like they have some sort of entitlement to make inappropriate comments to women\u2026 I swear they make any excuse. Making people uncomfortable is NEVER ok adult or not.— bry (@bry) 1652380037
wondering what rape culture is? just scroll through some of the replies here \nthere's so much minimizing, victim blaming, and judging her because "it's in the past"— Mia (@Mia) 1652382113
Know what's even more gross? Asking a 18 years old to touch her boobs and predict the weather on camera for all the crew men and millions of ppl to see when the movie is released but Hollywood doesn't talk about how they do weird shit like that because it's for "entertainment".— \ud835\udce1\ud835\udcf8\ud835\udcf7\u00a0\u2790 (@\ud835\udce1\ud835\udcf8\ud835\udcf7\u00a0\u2790) 1652288895
If you're feeling defensive about this woman feeling uncomfortable about men approaching her and commenting on her body parts to her - you might want to consider why you feel that way.\n\nHow is a woman feeling uncomfortable about men overstepping about you? Do you do this?— ScienceMermaid, (Ed.M) (@ScienceMermaid, (Ed.M)) 1652390031
Funny how its mostly men who found an issue with her being uncomfortable with it. Predictable.— \ud83e\udd96 (@\ud83e\udd96) 1652381646
Y\u2019all acting like 18 is 30 and as if sexual harassment is okay in adulthood. 18 is still a child even if that\u2019s when you become a legal adult. I can\u2019t believe how some of you are reacting. Starring in a sexualized role is NOT an invitation to be creepy to someone.— Meeka Avery | ENVtuber| REDEBUT TBA (@Meeka Avery | ENVtuber| REDEBUT TBA) 1652373920
“I think being really famous [young] must really f'king suck,” said Seyfried, adding, “It must make you feel completely unsafe in the world."
Since Mean Girls, Seyfried has gone on to star in high-profile projects like Mamma Mia!, Les Miserables and Mank.
As her career began taking off, she was intimidated by fame.
“Fame is weird," she proclaimed.
"I’ve never been super famous. I’ve always been somewhat recognizable. It’s been the healthiest trajectory."
"[It’s] not a scary spike. I have my priorities. I know who I am. I know where I’m going. I know what it means. It means that I’m getting to do what I love."
In 2013, Seyfriend bought a small, 1930s stone farmhouse in the Catskills to get away from it all.
She said:
"I see these younger actors who think they have to have security. They think they have to have an assistant."
"They think their whole world has changed. It can get stressful. I’ve seen it happen to my peers. So, I bought a farm."
"I was like, let’s go in the opposite way.”
Seyfried's latest project is Hulu's The Dropout, inspired by the podcast about the downfall of biotechnology company Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes, played by Seyfried.
