Amanda Seyfried covers the August issue of Marie Claire UK to promote Ted 2, the perverted teddy bear sequel that underperformed last weekend. Amanda also wasted a Vogue cover on this movie too, which is a shame. This Marie Clare shoot is gorgeous, and you can see more pictures here. Amanda always gives good editorial, so this feature isn’t a waste. The interview is strange. Amanda and Justin Long have been dating for nearly two years. She’s dropping some serious hints here about how babies are in her near future. Amanda believes her eggs are all dying, although she’s only 29 years old. Her thoughts sound a bit hyperbolic. She also talks about the huge roles she’s turned down:
Her eggs are dying off: “I keep feeling like my eggs are dying off. I need to get on it … I want a child. Badly. I want to be a mother, badly. That’s what I feel. I’ve been feeling it for like, two years. I’m not ready but nobody’s ready. It changes everything … so how you can ever be ready for that?”
On stereotyped roles: “After Mean Girls I kept getting scripts for big-boobed blonde idiots. I could have so easily been Karen Smith my whole career. I realised that if I really wanted to work forever I was going to have to make the right decisions …. That’s why I’ve made some tough decisions too, I’ve turned down some pretty big stuff.”
She turned down a superhero role? “I didn’t want to be an action hero or in a f***ing green suit for like, ten years, because I don’t want to be miserable. I think happiness comes from being free.”

Amanda has done well to mix up her career with a variety of musicals, dramas, thrillers, and romcoms. Did she really receive an offer to play a superhero? I don’t doubt she has turned down plenty of movies, and maybe she was offered something in the X-Men franchise. What I’m really taking from this interview is that Amanda’s right on the verge of saying the time is right to start a family. She’s sending Justin a message. Time to go ring shopping, buddy.
