I can always count on Amanda Seyfried for some good coat pr0n. Amanda’s been pretty low key lately. She’s been filming Ted 2 with Mark Wahlberg and hasn’t promoted anything else lately. Is she still dating Justin Long? Who knows.
Amanda took to Twitter to talk about her career and the pressure for Hollywood actresses to be stick thin. She previously said she’d never lose weight for a role because she’s “too health-conscious.” That makes sense. I worry about actors like Christian Bale and how losing an extreme amount of weight for roles will affect their future health. Amanda goes a step further and says she “almost lost” roles because she was considered too fat. She didn’t really lose the roles though?
Fun fact: I almost lost out on several roles in my career because I was overweight. Wrong, America.

I don’t doubt that Amanda dealt with some casting agents who suggested she drop a few pounds. She clearly never needed to lose weight, but Hollywood’s mirror is pretty warped when it comes to weight obsession. The weird thing is that Amanda didn’t lose those roles, or so she says. There’s more to this story, and 140 Twitter characters doesn’t cover it.
We hardly ever cover Amanda, so I had to include some new photos of my boyfriend, Finn the dog. Don’t mind the kissing Wahlberg in this photo.

Her instagram is mostly Finn. Best IG to water your time on. That dog is adorable.
I’m on it! Finn is such a cutie. Well groomed and well behaved.
All I could stare at was that hair. IT IS EVERYTHING.
I want her hair and her jacket. I have so much blonde jealousy haha, but I would look mega washed out I think. I convinced myself last time I was on cold meds that it’d be a totally good idea to go blonde. Thank god I did not book an appointment or buy at home kits.
Totally agree. Her hair is glorious.
Yes! Her hair is so dreamy!!!
I’m SO jealous of that hair. It always looks amazing.
Yes!
I think her hair is totally natural too, even more unfair. That’s why it sometimes looks a bit “ashy” – natural blondes don’t usually stay platinum blonde forever.
Yes I believe its natural – she claims to have virgin hair.
I thought you – and the others who replied after you – were talking about the dog’s hair. I was nodding along until I realized that you all were talking about HER hair. Oh well. She has nice hair, too. In addition to having naturally thick blonde hair, I think she doesn’t do much to it, especially when not working, and that helps to keep it healthy.
But didn’t she lose weight? I think she was heavier in Mean Girls than she is now.
She is breathtakingly gorgeous either way.
Yes she was bigger in Mean Girls and also in Big Love. To me she looks like she has a naturally curvier build and probably really has to starve herself to stay Hollywood thin.
Yes, I noticed that she lost a lot of weight as she became a bigger star. If you look at her in Mean Girls and in earlier episodes of Big Love, she is much curvier. She succumbed to Hollywood pressure just like Emma Stone and Seyfried’s Big Love co-star Ginnifer Goodwin.
Ginnifer never got too thin. And she’s happy enough with her post baby weight. She said something to the meaning of her weight is not a concern. Her health and baby are. Obsessing over weight would detract from that. And her Once Upon producers are fine with her not being at her prebaby weight.
Agreed with FLORC – I’m actually surprised that the network and the OUAT producers “let” Goodwin look like the average women who just had a baby a few months ago, and didn’t pressure her to lose all the weight ASAP.
Wasn’t she a teenager in those? Woman do naturally lose that youthful pudge as they progress into their twenties
She wasn’t a teenager in 2008 though and still, she was bigger than now. And definietely much bigger than she was when her career really took off – around 2011 like in this pic http://cdn03.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/seyfried-euro/amanda-seyfried-red-riding-hood-euro-premiere-08.jpg

FINN! more Finn I need a Finn Beat Reporter
I love her dog.
I think no matter how thin an actress gets, there is always someone telling them to lose weight. It’s horrible.
So she still got the roles though right? She said she “almost lost out” so they ended up hiring her and were ok with her weight or she lost weight for the roles. This girl never needed to lose a pound. Even for Hollywood standards she was far from overweight. Also, why can’t Hollywood start representing how the REAL world looks anyways? Lots of shapes, colors, heights, ages.
The day someone thinks Amanda Seyfried is too big, is the day they need to be b!tch-slapped with a folding chair.
And Finn the Dog is my celebrity crush. Lurve.
‘bitch slapped with a folding chair”!!! well said!!!!!
Amanda has a cute dog and does well on Instagram, but she isn’t very smart. She should try to do as few interviews as possible and stick to the social media stuff.
Very jealous of her adorable doggie and her hair. Not at all jealous that she had to kiss Wahlberg, blecch.
Her dog is seriously handsome!
It’s fairly horrific that a small-boned girl like Amanda was still subjected to pressure to lose more weight.
She has lost a lot of weight in the last years. Watch Veronica Mars first season and recent pictures and it’s noticeable the weight loss. She was by NO means fat or overweight but somehow she felt the pressure to be thinner.
Anyway, everytime I see her and I get a major hair envy.
Soooo I’ve never seen a picture of her where she looked anything but thin. If she was once considered “overweight” good grief WHAT AM I?!?!?!?!?!?!??! A LAND WHALE?!?!?!?!?!
LOL…….BUT Hollywood’s standards was always ridiculous.
I’m a size 4 and 5’7 in height so I guess I might be considered a land whale lol!!
Eww no bueno @ marky Mark’s stubby little arms and hands
She used to be considerably bigger. Not fat of course, but not thin either, just in-between.
I’m about the size and shape she was when she was on Veronica Mars, and I am a touch overweight. Not a lot, and I’m not really worried about it, but it’s a fact.
Here’s what I don’t get about the very weird re-casting for Ted 2: Marky Mark’s (sorry, I grew up in the very New Kids/Walberg-centric Boston in the 80’s and 90’s) character married Mila Kunis’s at the end of the first one right? And the whole 2nd half of the movie was essentially about him trying to save his relationship with her. So, are we now all supposed to believe/not notice that that central character’s suddenly a younger, taller blue eyed blonde?? So lost with this one…
