Amanda Seyfried made her name in comedies such as Mean Girls and Mama Mia, but now she’s about to leave the cute, funny, girl-next-door behind to play porn star Linda Lovelace in new biopic Lovelace.
Speaking to The Sunday Times Magazine, she admits that she’s taking quite a leap with the part.
"This is the riskiest thing that's happening in Hollywood right now,” she says. "The first thing you think about is that it could ruin my career.”
However, it’s a decision she made and hopes will pay off. She added that she felt "very comfortable" with the scenes, too.
"It's funny, because I felt liberated when I was doing it. I'm sure people that are very protective of me wouldn't feel very comfortable with that," the 27-year-old explained. "But it's like, what's the big deal?"
