Amanda Seyfried Reveals Her 9-Year-Old Daughter's Reaction to Mean Girls
Nina’s first Mean Girls viewing
Seyfried said Nina watched Mean Girls for the first time last year, and that both children enjoyed it. She shared the detail during an E! News interview at the Steps premiere in New York City on Nov. 8.
The children have also watched a few animated films featuring their mother. Seyfried said they are still getting to know her body of work, and added that they loved Mamma Mia.
Children notice her career
Seyfried, 40, said her children treat her career in the public eye as ordinary. As they grow older, she expects them to better understand how unusual her work is.
Seyfried shares Nina and Thomas Jr., 6, with her ex, Thomas Sadoski. She announced their breakup in September after nine years of marriage.
A new film for family viewing
In Steps, which premieres on Netflix Nov. 20, Seyfried plays Cinderella. The animated film reworks the familiar fairy tale by presenting stepsisters Lilith and Margot as misunderstood figures who join forces to protect the kingdom.
Seyfried described the story as an exploration of sisterhood, friendship and the effort needed to communicate and connect. She said she hopes her children will watch the film, calling it beautiful.
