Amanda Seyfried: From Hollywood Star to Eco-Friendly Entrepreneur
Amanda Seyfried, the beloved actress known for her roles in iconic films like Mean Girls and Mamma Mia!, is embracing her roots as a down-to-earth farm girl. At 39, Seyfried balances her thriving career, motherhood, and a burgeoning eco-friendly business, all while maintaining a charmingly relatable persona.
In an exclusive interview, Seyfried shared insights about her sustainable children’s company, Make It Cute, which she co-founded with childhood friends Anne Hoehn and Maureen North. The brand, born out of the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, offers eco-conscious Play Decor™ products, including adorable cardboard playhouses designed to be as plastic-free as possible. “These playhouses represent a semblance of peace in our homes,” she explained, emphasizing her commitment to sustainability.
As the holiday season approaches, Seyfried is already ahead of the game, revealing her unique gift-giving strategy. “I always get all my gifts in September,” she said, proudly showcasing bins full of presents she’s collected throughout the year. Among her favorite gifts? Charitable donations and a donkey from her husband, which she affectionately calls the “best gift ever.”
While Seyfried is busy promoting her upcoming films, The Testament of Ann Lee and The Housemaid, she still finds time to indulge in her passions. When asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Sophie in a potential third installment of Mamma Mia!, Seyfried’s enthusiasm was palpable. “Just when?” she mused. “I will wait forever.”
As we eagerly anticipate another Mamma Mia!, Seyfried also shared her must-have products for the holiday season, from her favorite lip gloss to practical boots for farm chores.
