Amanda Seyfried's Journey Through Faith, Art, and Motherhood
Awards Season Spotlight
Amanda Seyfried is making waves this awards season, but her heart is elsewhere. She's stuck in a hotel room, chatting about her two new films, "The Housemaid" and "The Testament of Ann Lee."
The Testament of Ann Lee: A Musical Journey
The latter is a musical about Ann Lee, a woman who started a religious movement after losing her children. Seyfried plays Lee, who was seen as a savior by some and a witch by others.
Life Post-Pandemic
Seyfried's life has changed a lot since the pandemic. Back then, she was a new mom, happy to be home with her baby. Now, she's running around, promoting her films. She misses her kids and animals, but she's also excited about her work.
Lessons from Ann Lee
Seyfried's role as Ann Lee taught her a lot. She learned new ways to move her body and think about her faith. She didn't grow up loving church, but she found comfort in it during a tough time. Now, she sees nature as her higher power.
Modern-Day Inspirations
Seyfried sees Ann Lee's spirit in modern leaders like Obama, Oprah, and Greta Thunberg. They inspire people, just like Ann Lee did. Seyfried is proud of her two very different roles in "Ann Lee" and "The Housemaid." She's happy to show her range as an actress.
