“Whatever it is, it’s not because of Mank, it’s not because of The Dropout, [and] it’s not about having seen my movies.”
She continues: “Being 19, walking around without my underwear on – like, are you kidding me? How did I let that happen?
“Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn’t want to upset anybody, and I wanted to keep my job. That’s why.”
Seyfried also called out her Mean Girls role during an interview with Marie Claire.
The Red Riding Hood star said that she finds it ‘gross’ how her character, Karen, could predict the weather by holding onto her cleavage.
She says: “I always felt really grossed out by that.

The union’s president, Fran Drescher, said in a statement: “The role of intimacy coordinators greatly improves safety and well-being on sets and in productions requiring intimate scenes.

“Their value is immeasurable and the National Board is committed to bringing intimacy coordinators into the Guild’s family and ensuring they have the kind of benefits and protections other members already enjoy.”
Drescher added: “Intimacy coordinators, many of whom already are Screen Actor’s Guild members, have become an essential on-set resource for cast and crew alike.
“This decision furthers our mission of making on-set safety an industry-wide standard and priority and welcomes other talented, dedicated workers to join us.”
