Amanda Seyfried and her excellent trench coat are currently in London promoting Lovelace. Of course, Amanda’s been touring for this movie for weeks, but we haven’t covered a lot of it becasue she’s largely talking about pr0n, which makes sense given the movie’s subject matter. At the moment though, let’s talk about Amanda’s new love/lust interest, Justin Long. Last week, Page Six revealed that these two were “almost inseparable” and “cozy in a corner” on Aug 1 at a Cinema Society afterparty. Now Us Weekly says they’re heating up and “seeing where it goes.”
You might wonder what a woman like Amanda would see in an average guy like Justin. What do we know about Justin Long other than his status as recovering “Mac guy” who has managed to carve out a semi-hipsterish movie career in the aftermath? I only say “hipster” because Justin tends to look a little bit scruffy and often appears in very “twee” movies (although he was great in Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell too). He also dated Drew Barrymore off-and-on for a few years and, at the time, was notorious for his love of going downtown, which may have been why Drew kept him around for so long. Now he might be offering his services to Ms. Amanda:
Amanda Seyfried’s new beau is no stranger to the Hollywood scene. According to several sources, the Lovelace actress’ latest hookup is none other than iSteve actor Justin Long.
“Justin is super private about his relationships, [so] I’m not positive how they exactly met, but they’ve known each other for awhile, when they were seeing other people,” a source tells Us. “They recently started hanging out more, going on date-like activities. They’re both busy … but they’re seeing where it goes.”
Adds another source, the new couple have a “similar sense of humor.”
Though the pair has remained low-key about their relationship, an eyewitness at a July 30 event for the Lovelace premiere tells Us that they were “inseparable.”
“Justin came alone and stayed close to Amanda all night,” the source says. “They weren’t making out or anything like that, but they were just inseparable during the event. He hung out when she talked with others.”

Who knows, this could just be a quick hookup thing because Amanda goes through men at warp speed, but I don’t think she’s sleeping with all of them by any stretch. She’s already stated that she’s terrified of being promiscuous as well as her belief that you can’t talk your vagina into attraction; so I would like to think she keeps these dudes around long enough to see if she wants to get physical and, if not, buh bye.
Then again, Amanda is famous for dating douches too. As in Dominic Cooper, Ryan Phillipe, and Josh Hartnett. So maybe Justin is a bit of a douche, and she might just be attracted to that too.

My God, she is so beautiful. I haven’t seen such beauty in Hollywood since young Angelina.
Agreed. Her hair is incredible and her eyes are gorgeous.
I know right? Her hair is glorious and she does not look like everybody else.
She DOESN’T look like anyone else (i.e. any young blonde H’wood actress)? No offense, but what’re you smoking?
I agree – I think she does have a unique look! There are mainstream boring blondes (Julianne Hough, Carrie Underwood, Kaley Cuoco), and then are some that look original.
????
I mean she’s pretty guys, but really?
LOL yeah… I don’t get the hype either
LOL right?
I’m with you, I never understand why people think shes so beautiful. She’s strange looking to me. Justin on the other hand? Id hit it. He’s cute in a goofy and fun way. I loved him in he’s just not that into you.
I’m in this camp. She’s definitely pretty, but not OMGamazing. To me, her hair is a blah, dishwater color that doesn’t do much for her complexion. But she seems like a nice person and apparently cares about animals a lot, which is cool in my book.
Angelina wasn’t that great, honestly.
Oh how dare you mention the saint in the same sentence as a mere mortal. You must make penance, lest the gods who avenge privilleged actresses strike you dead. And in case you missed it, I am mocking the stans and their never ending over reactions to the mere mention of the saint.
I don’t think she is a saint, her acting is mediocre, her body is mediocre, but her face is perfection. To me.
After all that money she spent on plastic surgery, her face better be perfection!
@tia: You crack me up. Better be ready to climb a close by tree, though.
Angelina was stunning when she was young, complete and utter perfection.
@Bina yeah her plastic surgeons did a great job on Jolie’s kids too
That is some amazing hair! And I have always thought she had really nice lips.
That’s what I thought when I saw the pictures above. She’s so pretty and her hair is awesome. She also seems nice and down to earth. She’s such a natural beauty.
I don’t think Amanda is beautiful, attractive mm, and I don’t think her eyes are beautiful either,they are a bit bulgy. No Jolie is far more good looking than this girl.
I hate the phrase “why is he a thing?” but I have to admit that it comes to mind here.
Aww, I think he’s cute in a funny, dorky, under the radar kind of way. I actually like this pairing.
What does he do though? Wasn’t he in some commercials and a couple rom coms?
I need more than that to like this guy…
Drew Barrymore’s ex; Going the Distance; He’s just not that into you; New Girl. He’s legit funny altho I think there was some reputational sleaze about him – but I never caught on as to why, besides the general ‘air’ of it.
Oh I see.
I don’t get “sleaze” at all from him but I feel like his PR people are selling the “lovable dork” image and I’m not buying what they’re selling.
Ok, maybe I just have an irrational dislike for the guy, maybe he’s total a sweetheart and I’m just a raging bitch. I can accept that.
I feel the same way about Garfield–he just annoys me.
Let’s go get vodka sodas, Anna so I can complain more about Justin Long.
Let’s go get vodka sodas, period.
We can finalize out b*tch list while getting ready for the 2nd round.
PS – I get a TOTALLY different vibe from Garfield. And I like both well enough to be ok w them , but not enough to really care about either.
OMG. I raise my afternoon vodka Red Bull to you ladies.
OKitt, I kept trying to reply to you in a controversial post a few weeks ago, but wasn’t allowed. I wasn’t ignoring you, sorry.
Honestly, depending on how many vodka sodas you get in me, I might do a 180 on both Long AND Garfield. It wouldn’t be the first time I got “vodka glasses”.
@LuLu-which post was it? Lately I’ve been too tired to get worked up—I’m missing out on all the screaming 😉
@OKitt, that’s OK, if you don’t remember I won’t invoke. 😉
You would think I had been drinking, I thought you were talking about Garfield the cat.
I thought Justin made sense with Drew. I liked him in Waiting and jeepers creepers.
For some reason I like this coupling. He has always seemed pretty cool and like a loyal decent boyfriend.
I endorse this. He’s a definite step up, albeit not someone I would ever match with her.
I know, right?! Maybe this time she got herself a nice one! Good choice, Amanda.
Sigh, she’s so damn beautiful.
Eh, I’m torn. I really liked him with Drew Barrymore, I can’t picture him with Amanda though. He seems too nerdy for her.
Plus I can’t unpicture his character on New Girl! Ugh, such a crazy guy! 😉
well, he’s gotta be offering something good cause I don’t get it BUT I did like him on The New Girl. seems kinda dorky, but apparently it works for him.
I find her looks weirdly fascinating…her eyes are spaced so far apart. I get the impression from interviews that she is practically as dumb as her Mean Girls character and that she only goes for douchebags. So yeah, rumours about Justin being a tool are probably true.
She comes across as SO unintelligent in interviews.
Seriously! What’s wrong with her? She sounds so stupid sometimes.
I dont think dumb as much as just very, very bland.
No, if I thought she was “bland” I would have said so–bland is excusable to me.
I honestly find her very inarticulate and unintelligent. She might be trying to be cute/funny but doesn’t have the charisma to carry it off. Recall that she’s the girl that said “only lesbians can resist the Trousersnake” in reference to Justin Timberlake.
She might not be stupid, but she really does come across that way. But it’s not just the things that she says, it’s the way she says it…a lot of long pauses and “I don’t knows”. Again, maybe she’s just not comfortable in interviews or something.
Really? Dammit, I have to see interviews with her!
“Seyfried has stated that she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks.She also suffers from stage fright, and has never performed in theatre because of it.”
From her wikipedia page. It might be because of that.
@Spooks-eh, ok. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh. It’s not that I don’t like her as an actress-quite the contrary actually- I’m just not sure she’s great off-screen.
I love Bale..I like De Niro too but neither are really great in interviews. Sometimes on-screen charisma doesn’t translate to off-screen charisma.
Maybe the less personality they have irl, the easier it is to lose themselves in a role, or inhabit their characters.
I saw her in Lovelace this past weekend, and she was captivating with her brown curly wig. The camera loved her face and she did a fantastic job. The movie is good, not great, but she really surprised me in the role.
I heard she was really solid in that. I think she’s talented, which is why I’m always disappointed with her interviews.
Maybe she’s just shy or awkward, but honestly that *shyness* represents as *stupid*, unfortunately.
I always liked Justin Long. Who knows, maybe they’ll be together for the long run.
She’s had so many Hollywood boyfriends/hook ups that I’ve lost count a long time ago. Wonder how long this one will last.
or maybe, maybe she is dating against type this time hoping that the end result is different this time.
What can I say he won me over in Accepted, every time that movie is on TV I have to watch.
Justin Long is great. No douchiness here at all though I admit it’s a strange pairing. If tons of Celebitchy girls can lust after Cumberbatch, which I don’t understand personally (quirky, weird in a not attractive way- am I the only one here?), then there may be many of us lusting after Justin. Again, am I the only one here?
Oh heck no – Justin fulfills all my ‘confident dork’ needs. I like his humor and this new (to me) information about his dining presences only ups his place on the list.
Shall we thumb-wrestle to see who goes first?
Not alone! I adore the guy.
His looks aren’t my thing, but I’ve always liked him as an actor. Waiting, Accepted, his stint on New Girl and appearances in a bunch of other TV shows and movies. He has more presence and conveys more warmth, intelligence, and humour than many young comedic actors and latter day SNL’ers.
I haven’t seen enough of Amanda to have an opinion on her, but Justin and Drew seemed like a better match. I liked them better together than the guy she ended up marrying.
I read somewhere that Kate Mara left her bf Max Minghella for Justin while they were filming a movie together, so he must have something because Max is a cutie (not to mention scion of the wonderful Anthony Minghella.)
@Mrs. Jones- I agree with you about Cumberbitch. I do not see the draw. His face looks funky and there’s just something off. But then again, my “something off” is someone else’s “let’s get something on!”.
I’m with you ! And I loved loved him in New Girl.
Thank you ladies! quixotic1205, I agree with you on the 1 person’s thing is not the other’s. What irked me in the comment about Justin was that he was called a douche, not the remarks about his looks. j.eyre, it’s on!
She is SO not all that.
I don’t find him super attractive, but he’s cute and seems like a nice guy. That’s better than a hotter but douchier guy.
She is SO beautiful.
Loved him in “He’s just not that into you”…I don’t think Drew would have dated him so long if he was a douche. This is a cute couple I think…we will have to see what Amanda’s vagina thinks apparently.
Weird. I went on a long and detailed rant a few days ago on why the supposed ‘hotness’ of Justin Long annoys me to my friend, who responded ‘eh, he’s cute enough.’
Don’t you hate when a good rant is dismissed with an “eh” statement? The effort alone deserves more acknowledgement.
Feel free to rant again and I shall come back with adamant dissension followed by huffy indignation (and then apologize for my brashness)
LOL!! You are on a tear in this thread.
Well this seems random. I’ve never been into him myself.. Just don’t find him attractive. But from what I’ve read he seems like a pretty decent, intelligent guy. Sometimes I think she is so pretty, she definitely has a different look. Agree with her having gorgeous hair. Not sure about her personality, haven’t seen or read too many interviews. I remember reading something in the past about her having an obsession with getting stuffed animals from a taxidermist. Anyone else remember this? Random but it just popped in my head.
She’s stunningly beautiful and very successful. He’s Justin Long. I could see him maybe being an awesone devoted BF but if it’s just a fling she’s going to ruin him for all other women. Like flying first class just once.
Awww..I like this pairing, both dorks, both adore their dogs. I don’t get the douche vibe from Justin, he’ll always be Warren Cheswick to me. Considering her beauty and talent she’s seems pretty low key.
Thank you! Someone else who remembers the awesome little “Ed” show, and Justin’s role (which came before the Mac commercials). I’ve always liked Justin.
I like the pairing too. And I loved him (about 10 years ago) in Jeepers Creepers. Anybody remembers?
Yep. He was also in one of my fave movies of all time – Galaxy Quest.
I liked him with Drew was oddly disappointed it didn’t work out and I’m cool with the Amanda pairing. (Like they need my approval) 😉
I just hope she’s not a PC girl.
What exactly is a “PC girl”? :S
A computer. He was a Mac guy on commercials.
Those commercials with Long and John Hodgman started after I bought my first Mac in 2005. Memories. *sob*
Justin actually has great comedic timing and improvisational skills. Youtube the blooper/outtakes reel of Zack and Miri Make a Porno; him and Seth Rogen improvised the whole scene and kept going, so there’s a lot of material there that wasn’t used.
He was hilarious in The Break-Up.
I didn’t know that Josh Hartnet was a douche. What has he done, I wonder?
I’ve seen very little of his acting, but I just love him in 30 Days of Night.
I’m into Justin’s dorky goofiness. He seems less “unattainable hot guy” and more “real guy”. Something about his chin has always bugged me but I like his overall vibe.
I like Amanda. She can look weird sometimes but I find her way more appealing than the cookie cutter, spray tanned, overprocessed blondes that are out there. Good luck to them!
Amanda isn’t a great actress (Les Mis?) yet she was cute in Mama Mia. The camera loves her.
So not interested in seeing her in Lovelace. An unusual choice. Suppose no-one else wanted it after Lohan tainted it.
I saw Lovelace yesterday, and Amanda is wonderful in it. She nailed it. It’s a decent movie. Oh, and Lovelace is not the film that Lohan was going to do. That one was/is called Inferno, and Malin Akerman replaced Lindsay in that movie. Amanda’s film has nothing to do with Lindsay Lohan and never did.
How long have they been together? I’ve never heard of them being a couple until today.
I actually have met him once or twice (looooong ago). And he’s really delightful and not at all douchey.
