Amanda Seyfried Says Balancing Two December Film Releases and Parenting Is 'Really Hard'

She spoke during a crunch that includes two December premieres plus a new Make It Cute craft line.

Overview

  • Seyfried said she is finding the work–life juggle difficult, calling this stretch the most she has worked since having two children.
  • Her films The Housemaid (Dec. 19, directed by Paul Feig) and The Testament of Ann Lee (Dec. 25, directed by Mona Fastvold) are drawing heightened attention and strong reviews, according to Us Weekly.
  • She noted she has never had two movies open the same week and described herself as “a little bit bananas” heading into the holidays.
  • Seyfried cautioned audiences not to read Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid before seeing the film to avoid spoiling its twists.
  • Her company Make It Cute, cofounded with childhood friends Anne Hoehn and Maureen North during COVID lockdowns, recently launched $19.99 Tiny Craft Kits made with paper-based materials and plant-based inks in Bookshop, Bakery and Fairy House themes.
