Amanda Seyfried is refreshingly candid in an era where many in Hollywood try to avoid causing controversy at any cost. Whether she is fearlessly broaching hot-button political issues or coming to the defense of her costars, Seyfried is never afraid to share her opinion. Seyfried even acknowledged during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in November 2025 that her busy professional obligations - including promoting two movies, The Housemaid and The Testament of Ann Lee, at the same time as her kid company Make It Cute - and her parental responsibilities were making life especially challenging. (Seyfried and her husband, Thomas Sadoski, share a daughter, born in 2017, and a son, born in 2020.) "Honestly, right now, it's really hard," she told Us. "This is the most I've ever worked with two kids, and I've never had two movies come out at the same time. And so, I'm a little bit bananas right now." 4 Great Amanda Seyfried Movies to Stream After 'The Housemaid': 'Mean Girls' and More Keep scrolling for more of Seyfried's honest and blunt comments. Amanda Seyfried Was Confused by Timothee Chalamet's Awards Show Tribute to Kylie Jenner Timothée Chalamet shouted out his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, while accepting the Best Actor Award for Marty Supreme at the Critics Choice Awards in January 2026. "Thank you to my partner of three years," he told Jenner. "Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." After the ceremony, Seyfried replied to an Instagram post from Evan Ross Katz to admit that she was confused by Chalamet's reference to the "foundation" of his and Jenner's relationship. "OH not like a foundation/charity," Seyfried apparently realized. "I was curious about that." Amanda Seyfried Defended Her 'The Housemaid' Costar Sydney Sweeney Amanda Seyfried and her The Housemaid costar Sydney Sweeney took part in Vanity Fair's lie detector test segment while promoting their movie in December 2025. During the segment, Seyfried and Sweeney touched on their relationships with social media. Sweeney admitted that she has a private TikTok in addition to her public Syd's Garage profile. Seyfried jumped to her costar's defense when Sweeney admitted that her "For You Page" is wildly different on each of her profiles. "If I'm on my private TikTok, my entire 'For You Page' is history facts and arts and crafts," Sweeney explained. "And then if I'm on my Syd's Garage page, it's sadly a lot of hate about me." Seyfried quipped: "Well, f**k TikTok!" Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in December 2025. Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for Lionsgate In a separate interview with Who What Wear in December 2025, Seyfried admitted that Sweeney "got it so much harder than I ever did" due to becoming famous in the age of social media. "She's got a spotlight on her that I never had, never wanted. I can't help but feel somewhat protective of her, though she doesn't need my protection," Seyfried added. The Mamma Mia star went on, "[Sweeney is] gonna continue to make choices in her career that I think will define, or at least solidify, her as an actual actress because people are too distracted by all the other s*** that is created around her." Amanda Seyfried Refused to Apologize for Her Comments About Charlie Kirk's Death Conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a forum on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, in September 2025. (Tyler James Robinson was arrested the following day and charged with aggravated murder. As of January 2026, Robinson has not yet entered a plea but faces a possible death sentence if convicted.) In the wake of Kirk's death, Seyfried described him as "hateful" because of his controversial comments about the LGBTQ+ community, trans rights, immigration and abortion throughout his career. (Seyfried was responding to an Instagram post that recirculated a divisive Kirk quote: "'Ask yourself, why is exposing the flaws of MLK's life and character - something he said we should judge others by - so controversial?' - Charlie Kirk, January 2024.") She then reshared a separate statement via her Instagram Story: "You can't invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating." When her initial posts caused controversy, Seyfried insisted she was not trying to "add fuel to a fire" with her comments about Kirk's background. "I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context," she wrote at the time. "Spirited discourse - isn't that what we should be having?" She added, "We're forgetting the nuance of humanity. I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric, and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk's murder was absolutely disturbing in every way imaginable. No one should have to experience this level of violence. This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings. Can we agree on that at least?" While many of Kirk's suppo
