13 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Amanda Seyfried

June 24, 2015 - 1 min read

Mean Girls," but since then she's proved that she can master just about any role. From how she calms her nerves to the role she almost landed, here are 13 things you probably didn't know about Ms. Seyfried.

Seyfried got her big break starring on the soap opera "As the World Turns" when she was just 15.

Seyfried became obsessed with Titanic." Who hasn't been there?

Seyfried was on the cover of three books by Francine Pascal, the author of the "Sweet Valley" novels.

The correct pronunciation of her last name is "Sigh-Frid."

Seyfried put attending college at Fordham University on hold to film "Mean Girls."

At first, Seyfried was being considered for the roles of Regina and Cady, but ultimately landed the role of Karen.

Seyfried missed 70 days of high school during her senior year due to her acting career.

Seyfried originally auditioned for the title role in "Veronica Mars," but became Lilly Kane. She was such a fan favorite that they ended up using the character much more than they originally planned.

Seyfried has a dog named Finn, who is both adorable and talented.

If Seyfried weren’t acting, she would’ve studied meteorology. She's said she's always been fascinated by the weather, just like her character, Karen, in "Mean Girls."

Seyfried its that she usually drinks a glass of whiskey before TV interviews to fight off nerves.

We all know Seyfried can sing, thanks to her role in "Les Miserables," but did you know she's trained in classical opera? She is.

Seyfried loves jeans so much, she collects them.
