Amanda Seyfried Lovelace Interview in Elle; "Sex motivates everything” (Video)

Amanda Seyfried’s “Lovelace” interview in Elle magazine is revealing. Now that Amanda Seyfried is on the promotion trail, she has been opening up on her sexuality. Amanda Seyfried who is playing the "Deep Throat" porn actress in the biopic “Lovelace” talked about darker roles in Elle magazine's August issue.

Amand Seyfried plays Linda Lovelace in the upcoming biopic. Lovelace was porn actress who starred in the first big-time crossover porn movie, “Deep Throat.” Amanda Seyfried’s Lovelace interview shows she’s ready to shed her good girl image to get deeper roles that will expand her talents and move into darker places. Amanda Seyfried told Elle magazine that "Sex motivates everything. It's what people want to explore."

The 27-year-old actress said, "I read the script and I was like, 'Wow, this is the riskiest thing that's happening [in Hollywood] right now.' The first thing you think about is that it could have ruined my career. At the same time, I was like, 'This is my chance to show them, to show the industry, to be recognized.'"

Seyfried said that the role got inside her, deep inside her. She told AP "I had a hard time letting go of Linda at the end of the movie. I had a really intense time with Peter Sarsgaard [who plays her coercive husband, Chuck Traynor]. I think we both had a hard time letting go because we went to these places. He played a man who consistently beat his wife. And I played a woman who was raped and abused, psychologically and physically. I was constantly taking my clothes off. I didn't have an issue with that. She had an issue with that. So it was a lot. And the only thing that helped was getting onto 'Les Miz.' "

Amanda Seyfried, who played Cosette in the Academy Award-winning musical “Les Miserables,” , says the role reflects her own sexual identity. She told Elle magazine. "Everybody I've dated I've been sexually attracted to immediately. Sparks don't grow — your vagina doesn't become more inclined to wanting someone just because you're around them."

“Lovelance” got great reviews when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival early this year. The porn star biopic was directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
