Amanda Seyfried covers the November issue of Glamour UK with a very 1970s-styled dress and hairdo. She usually does retro looks quite well — it must be those old-school peepers. Aside from her beauty, Seyfried is an odd case. Presumably, she has a fanbase (in some nebulous shape or form) because she easily pulls in box-office gold whenever she stars in those insipid romcoms (that she only does for the money), yet gossip-wise, she is a total bore except for the occasional paparazzi shots of her cute dog. She’s currently promoting In Time, which probably won’t fare well financially because Seyfried in a thriller doesn’t sound all that thrilling, and nobody wants to watch Justin Timberlake as a male lead.

At any rate, I stand by my previous assertions that Amanda is terribly socially awkward; and Amanda discusses her panic attacks within this interview. She also maintains that dating famous guys has contributed to her anxiety level, but that might also be because she’s only dated famous guys who are douches, which are certain to erode any girl’s sense of self worth. Sad, but true:

On Coping With Panic Attacks: [Therapy] has been such a great tool, and my therapist told me that I passed with flying colors, but we’ll see how things go. I still do get terribly nervous, and that’s partly due to the fact I think too much and overanalyze things. I’ll start worrying about my parents or my dog, and I’ll picture him opening the window of my apartment and falling out, even though I can’t get that thing open myself.

On Dating Famous Guys: Dominic [Cooper] and I were together for such a long time, so the coverage was always positive. But when you’ve just started seeing someone and that person is really famous, it’s more of a story. When I was with Ryan [Phillipe], people followed me so much more, and that’s probably one of the reasons that I’m not looking to date someone who’s famous now.

Although I think it’s easier to be in a relationship than be single, I just don’t know if I have the energy at the moment. You don’t have to check in with anybody except your mother, and there’s all this freedom. You realise how many pressures come from being with someone.

On Justin Timberlake: Oh, only a lesbian or a straight man could resist the Trousersnake. Justin really is unique, but he has a difficult life. I mean, he can’t walk down the street anymore and that’s such a shame because freedom is everything.

On Her Favorite Body Part: [N]o matter how much I’ve eaten and how little I’ve exercised, my legs will always be tiny and I don’t have any cellulite – yet. So trust me: you’ll never see me in trousers on the red carpet.

Panic attacks (with their requisite chest pain, sweating, and tunnel vision) are absolutely horrible to experience, and it’s good to hear that Amanda’s found help through therapy. As a strange little aside though, I suffer from OCD (much like Howie Mandel and quite unlike Megan Fox), which is also an anxiety disorder. However, I have been fortunate enough to only suffer from one panic attack in my entire life, and it occurred in my former shrink’s office. So I guess that tells you how little therapy did for me; but if it helps, especially in the case of an actress who substantially benefits from the privacy guaranteed by doctor-patient confidentiality? More power.

I am slightly puzzed about Amanda’s assertion that her relationship with Dominic Cooper only received positive press. She must have missed those stories about him banging randoms and shagging Lindsay Lohan. Still, I can completely understand her desire to date non-famous men, so hopefully she’ll find a nice non-douche to settle down with. Amanda was obviously (at least according to her) single at the time of this interview, but she is currently dating a real estate executive named Andrew Joblon, with whom she was photographed at the U.S. Open:

And here are those tiny little legs of which Amanda spoke during the interview. Yes, she was kind of bragging, but at least it wasn’t a Goop-styled humblebrag, right?
