Amy Adams and Amanda Seyfried Discuss Aging, Motherhood, and Imperfection Onscreen

other · 2026-06-09

In the Indulgence issue of Cultured magazine, actresses Amy Adams, 51, and Amanda Seyfried, 40, engage in a dialogue about the realities of aging in Hollywood, the challenges of motherhood, and their choice to forgo heavy makeup on screen. Adams, who stars alongside Patrick Wilson and Javier Bardem in Apple TV's 'Cape Fear', admits she feels 'less vain than I am tired' and has moved past the need to appear 'pretty.' Both prioritize family, with Adams emphasizing that any job requires a family discussion and that she cannot commit to projects that demand six months away. Seyfried resides on a farm with eight goats and recently invested in a full MRI body scan. Adams expresses a desire to revisit 'Arrival' to collaborate again with director Denis Villeneuve, whom she credits with a significant impact on her career. The interview, captured by Daniel Jack Lyons, highlights the importance of family and the acceptance of natural aging.
